MacArthur and Nimitz Go Head-to-Head – Week 236 – March 4, 1944

World War Two
Published 4 Mar 2023

The American attacks against the Admiralty Islands are successful, but this causes real tensions between commanders Douglas MacArthur and Chester Nimitz. Much of this week is taken up by planning and meetings on both sides — Adolf Hitler plans the occupation of Hungary, Josef Stalin plans new offensives in Ukraine, and the Allies plan to reconfigure their whole front in Italy. It’s all the prelude to an explosion of action.

World War Two
22 hours ago
Indy here. Spartacus, James, Francis, and I just finished a D Day writing workshop in Austria. We — together with Markus — are writing that whole 24 hour series, which comes out June 6th. It’s really coming along! The whole thing is now properly organized and the various threads are being written simultaneously so that when it comes out, it will very much be something that no one has ever done before. Really, the way we’re doing it is a completely new thing. Nearly a third of the whole day — studio and on location stuff — has been filmed, and the first nine hours will all be in the can three weeks from now. Just thought you’d appreciate an update!
