De Jappen vallen aan (The Japs attack) |
Outdated, but pretty accurate chronicle of the first months of the battle in the Pacific, starting with the attack on Pearl Harbor.

Sequel to "The Japs Attack". This part describes May, June and early July 1942 in the Pacific. The Japanese fleets steam eastward, while US fleets rush towards them to stop them. The "collision point" seems to be Midway. |
