I have posted links to both youtube channels that collaborated on this in the pinned documentary thread, but this deserves it's own thread I think, it really helps make sense of a very confusing battle.

I watched that last night. It was one hell of a battle. Confusion, then uncertainty followed by more confusion just for good measure.

Guadalcanal was a very hard fought campaign that lasted several months. This was no quick decisive victory like Midway was.

Great one bolox, thanks.

You always hear of newlyweds going to Fiji and Tahiti for their honeymoon trips but never Guadalcanal. I demand answers!
