The Great Emu War
About this episode
The episode discusses the bizarre military operation known as the Great Emu War in Australia during 1932.
In 1932, the Australian government made a decision so unbelievable it still sounds like satire today, it deployed soldiers armed with machine guns to wage war against an estimated 20,000 emus that were invading their land. What began as a desperate attempt to save struggling farmers during the Great Depression quickly spiraled into one of the most bizarre and embarrassing military operations in modern history.
