Re: The Japanese paratroopers in the Dutch East Indies, 1941-1942
I imagine that further operations depended on type of terrain? I wouldn't want to be a paratrooper told to land -safely- in a dense jungle, nor on a mountainside. My thought is perhaps because of that, that they stopped attacks or targets were not seen as important enough (and with American air superiority later on, it was putting planes/fuel/men at risk when not needed).
