Osprey's examination of the Meiktila campaign of WOrld War II
(1939-1945). In the spring of 1944, Japanese 15th Army was shattered at
Imphal and Kohima, allowing General William Slim, commander of 14th
Army, to liberate Burma overland from India – a task considered
impossible by the British chiefs of staff. Overcoming immense logistical
problems, Slim coordinated a precisely timed attack along a 200-mile
front, the longest opposed river crossing of the entire war, and an
armored dash behind enemy lines that seized Meiktila, cutting Japanese
supply lines. Mandalay fell and at the end of March 1945, with the
battle lost, the Japanese withdrew south. Slim gave them no chance;
Allied troops raced south and captured Rangoon. The Japanese army in
Burma was finished.
