I did know that india was involved, but I didn't know they were so heavily involved, not did I learn that from school.

My education on WWII was basically "while Hitler was gassing Jews Arch Duke Franz Ferdinand got assassinated which sent most of Europe to war because of a complex web of alliances. Then the Japanese bombed pearl harbor so us murcans stepped in and ended the war. USA USA BEST COUNTRY IN DA WORL." then my dad showed me Hogans Heros, and that's about it.

I've learned more since then, but mostly scattershot facts. Like how Japanese internment camps were a thing.

Sounds like an interesting podcast recommendation. Thanks!
