SUMMARY:Peter Monteath - ‘Battle on 42nd Street: War in Crete and the Anzacs’ bloody last stand’
DESCRIPTION:Zoom Webinar: Wednesday November 11\, 2020 @ 7:00pm to 8:00pm (Australian Eastern Standard Time)\n \n \nPurchase your tickets here\nThe Battle for Crete was at once the most modern and the most ancient of wars. \nFor a week Australians and New Zealand forces were relentlessly hammered from the skies by the Luftwaffe and pursued across Crete by some of the most accomplished and best equipped forces Hitler could muster. \nOn the morning of 27 May 1941\, however\, all that was about to change. When a unit of German mountain troops approached the Allies’ defensive line – known as 42nd Street – men from the Australian 2/7th and 2/8th Battalions and New Zealanders from several battalions counter-attacked with fixed bayonets. By the end\, German bodies were strewn across the battlefield. \nAcclaimed historian Peter Monteath draws on recollections and records of Australian\, New Zealand\, British and German soldiers and local Cretans to reveal the truth behind one of the bloodiest battles of the Second World War. \nDate: 11 November 2020 \n7:00 PM-8:00 PM. \nOnline via Zoom.com\nMHHV Members $5\, General Public $10. \nPurchase your tickets here\nAbout the presenter \n \nPeter Monteath is a Professor of History at Flinders University in Adelaide\, Australia.

SUMMARY:Women Work for Victory in World War II - Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Women Work for Victory in World War II tells the story of women on the home front during the Second World War. \n \nIt is an online exhibition for now\, while the Old Treasury Building is closed for the COVID 19 pandemic. But the exhibition is in place in the galleries and will be available just as soon as we can open once again. \nWomen Work for Victory is an important reminder of the contribution played by women across Australian society in the cause of an Allied victory. Many thousands of women joined the workforce during world War II\, many working in jobs previously reserved for men. From the fields to the factories\, the armed services to the home\, women produced the food\, clothing and munitions that supplied both the Allied troops in the Pacific region and the civilian population. \nMany of these jobs were difficult and dangerous\, but thousands of women responded to the call. It is important to remember their stories. \nWhile the critical work of women on the home front during World War II went a long way towards shifting attitudes towards women in the workforce\, the exhibition also lays clear the limitations to such changes. \nWomen Work for Victory reveals that most women at this time were paid far less than men\, even where the work they performed was identical. Equal pay was a live issue at the time\, but very few women ever achieved it. As the men returned from the war\, women had to relinquish many of these jobs. It was ‘thanks girls and goodbye!’
