After a week of bombardment, the Japanese invade the island. With Norm Christie we follow the battle, visiting the bunkers, pillboxes, ravines and mountain tops, as out-numbered and out-equipped, the Canadians and other British, local, and Asian troops fight desperately through the hills, valleys, and streets of Hong Kong, inflicting huge loses on the Japanese, surrendering on Christmas Day, 1941.
