    Ep 76 Japanese subs in Sydney Harbour: Australian History
    Apr 6 2025

    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.
