Thank you James and John.

I an really glad you have done an episode on Saipan, be it a very short one. Here is why this battle is little known in Europe; you have done one 45 minute episode on Saipan but sixteen episodes on D-Day and the subsequent battles total about 12 hours of coverage. If people don't talk aboit something it will be forgotten.

45 minutes is really too little time to talk of Saipan. Bill and Seth has three ( I think it is three) really good episodes on it- IMO some of the best they have done on any subject. And with Jon Parshall, who basically makes everything better.
