Some historians refer to the Defence of Kohima as Britain's Greatest Battle. Others refer to the siege as the Stalingrad of the East. The Japanese U-go offensive and subsequent battle of Kohima (and Imphal) are among the most brutal in the Pacific Theatre, and led to a surprising victory using a rather curious tactic involving an M3 Lee Tank and a tennis court.
