1942 - Turning Point of WW2 in the Pacific | Documentary
It's 1942, after three years of war, Japanese control in the Pacific reaches it's greatest extent. From the north of Manchuria to the island of New Guinea and from the western boarder of Burma to the Marshall Islands. But all that will change in early 1942.
As the new year begins American codebreakers have cracked the Japanese Navy's JN-25 code. This marks the first time the United States are able to anticipate what the Japanese key strategic moves will be and the first time the odds shift in favor of the Allies.
Cracking the JN-25 code is a major turning point in the war, but 1942 has just begun and the rest of the year will see more dramatic setbacks for the Axis in the Pacific Theatre. In fact the very next major Allied blow against Japan will see the most significant turning point of world war 2... The Battle of Midway.
