In today's show we will learn about Fremantle near Perth in Western Australia. From the early war years when it was the main transport hub to the Middle East via convoys including troop transports, to the start of the Pacific War. We will talk about the role of John Curtin, the Australian PM who was the member for Fremantle and the US and Dutch navy retreat. We move on to talk about the establishment of the base including an upgrade of defences to what would become known as Fortress Fremantle, which will includes the evolution of the RAAF in the area. We will also talk about US navy operations out of Fremantle, the vital home-front and the training of the Z force commandos which often took place out of Fremantle - particularly in midget submarines and submersible canoes. Michael Nelson lives in Fremantle is a self-described local history buff and long-time WW2TV supporter.
