Description

When the Japanese entered the Second World War at the end of 1941, the impact on Australia was almost immediate.  Singapore fell and a great many Australians were taken prisoner.  Darwin & later other northern centres were bombed, and at the end of May Japanese midget Submarines made their way into Sydney Harbour.  This episode looks at how that attack unfolded.
