Canada in the Pacific Theatre of World War II

Canada focused most of its war effort in the European Theatre of the Second World War.  However, Canadian troops, pilots, naval personnel, and even fishermen also served in the Pacific Theatre against the Japanese Empire.  This episode gives a summary of Canada's contributions to the Battle of Hong Kong, the Alaska campaign, West Coast patrols, and the closing days of World War II.
