[QUOTE="tonyexpress, post: 701098, member: 1940"] I did get to watch it last night and enjoyed it! When my Dad was on those islands he told me the Japs/Nips (as they called them) would climb up and hide in the palm trees for cover and surprise. They used whistling techniques to communicate, which I heard in the show (sounding just like the native birds). Also...he told me how they would have different passwords every night (also mentioned on the show) and the enemy would try and use them to gain entrance into their area...They would use a password from the night before say...Charlie...but they would say it, Charee, they couldn't pronouce it right and that would be a dead give away..... Part 2 next Sunday.... [/QUOTE]
