In his documentary story “Burma. The Hell of a Half-Forgotten War,” the German Harry Turk, an excellent expert on the history of the war in Southeast Asia, vividly and accurately describes the bloody battles in this almost forgotten theater of military operations in Southeast Asia in 1942–1945 years. The advance of the Japanese army through the Burmese jungle towards India, its attempts to cut off the supply of Chinese units and its intention to deal a mortal blow to the British Empire encountered fierce resistance from the British, British colonial troops, American pilots, Burmese and Chinese patriots. The heroic actions of the Chindit guerrillas, the fighting in Arakan province, the construction of the road from Ledo, the crossing of the Chindwin and Irrawaddy rivers are woven into a general description of military operations in terrible geographical and climatic conditions, sounding like a warning and a reminder of what should not be forgotten
