In this video we investigate one of the most significant episodes in Australia’s Second World War experience. Why was the bombing of Darwin ‘hushed up’ by the government? Was there a warning that was ignored? Was there looting and cowardice by soldiers? Was 19 February 1942 Australia’s ‘great day of shame’? You can ‘visit’ the sites, analyse the maps, interrogate witnesses, sequence the events, and come to your own conclusions.


An interactive entitled, The bombing of Darwin, is also available for this case study at https://www.australianhistorymysteries.info
