Admiral Nimitz Reconfigures the Staff

Why We Fight ~ 1944 - A podcast by Sasha Maggio (MoT)

Categories:

Joining me again is Naval Historian Trent Hone and this time we talk about Admiral Nimitz and his efforts to reconfigure his staff to better fight and win in the Pacific in 1943 and beyond. If you missed the previous episode, Trent talked about the US Navy fighting in the dark in the Pacific, lessons learned throughout earlier parts of the war, and how we got to a point in 1943 where we start to get things right.
