- THE KOKODA TRAIL - Between July and November 1942, Australian army units fought a hard and difficult jungle campaign against the Japanese along the Kokoda Trail - a narrow, mountainous, jungle-enveloped pathway across the Owen Stanley Range in Papua New Guinea. Phillip Bradley takes us back along this trail.
- Kododa -The Movie - Gail Parker looks at the movie which is a clear reflection of the growing interest in Australia for the savage campaign fought in the jungles of New Guinea.
- Milag Marlag POW Camps at Westertimke - From 1941 to 1945, the small village of Westertimke in northern Germany was the location of a complex of prisoner of war camps known as Milag-Marlag. Karel Margry takes us through this fascinating site.
- The Fall of Rimini - Jeffrey Plowman and Glenn Hodgson tell us how this resot became a key area for the Allies in September 1944 as it was the gateway to the Romagna, the plains of which they considered ideal tank country, if they could only get there before the autumn rains.
