Re: The Struggle in Sumatra and the Air Campaign
This is quite a feat on the part of the Dutch. The Senshi Sosho volumes were written in a peculiar classical form of old Japanese that was not taught in Japanese schools after 1945. So not only is reading and translating these volumes extremely difficult for foreigners but also for Japanese born prior to 1935 or so.
For those interested, the Australians have also translated several volumes of this work, particularly the volumes concerning New Guinea. IIRC, more information can be found on the Australian War Memorial website.
