A war that reached every continent and touched every sort of terrain demanded every sort of strategy. In this episode we examine battles fought at sea, and in the jungle, in city streets, invasions from the air, and retreats from the land.

Battles are almost always about territory. Advancing the front line, seizing the port, the city, the oil field. The fate of nations in the war rose and fell on battles that took territory. Singapore, Monte Casino, Stalingrad...all about territory.

Every war seized new tactics; some inspired, some desperate, all attempting to influence the course of battles. Campaigns waged against non military targets to demoralize. Suicide missions launched when traditional weapons failed. Rules were rewritten.

A world war is a patchwork of actions. Land. Sea. Air. Massive, or small scale. The stories of these actions, are just as varied. This episode describes battles of amphibious forces, climate, geography, and the problems of supply.

Through history, armies marched to face each other on favored ground and clashed to decide a campaign, a war, an empire. With the 20th century that changed. The battles of the WWII happened anywhere and everywhere, in every weather and climate.

Some words transcend their origins as humble place names. They are carved into history as turning points which influenced the course of WWII, the fate of nations, and the make-up of our world. El Alameine, Okinawa, and Pearl Harbor.
