Check it out, it’s some gamers playing on an old Magnavox Odyssey back in 1972! For those who don’t know, the Magnavox Odyssey was the first commercial home video game console. It was developed by a small team led by Ralph H. Baer at Sanders Associates and released by Magnavox in the United States in September of 1972 before making its way overseas the following year. The whole concept was dreamed up by Baer back in August of 1966, and over the following three years he, along with Bill Harrison and Bill Rusch, created seven successive prototype consoles. Lucky number seven was, known as the Brown Box, and it was this console that Magnavox agreed to produce.

Japanese bombing of Darwin, Australia - 19th February 1942. t was the largest and most destructive single attack mounted by a foreign power upon Australia, and led to the worst death toll from any event in the nation’s history.
Compared to the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor:
• More bombs fell on Darwin
• More civilians were killed
• More ships were sunk

In the first raid of the day, four Japanese aircraft carriers launched 188 Zeros, Dive Bombers and Torpedo Bombers. The second raid of the day included 54 land-based medium bombers. The Destroyer USS Peary was hit by 5 bombs and sunk, although famously her .30 and .50 caliber deck machine guns continued firing till the last plane had passed over.

This air raid was a tremendous shock to the Australian military and the nation, despite happening after Australia had declared war on Japan. Women, children and families were evacuated to other parts of the country, many never to return.

When some did return, Darwin was unrecognizable after enduring 63 air raids over several years.

The Australian Government kept the exact and full details of The Bombing of Darwin Classified via the Official Secrets Act and it has not been until more recently that Australia as a nation has been more fully made aware of the facts above.

It was feared that the population would panic at the time but why so much secrecy post WW 2 is less clear.

Any theories out there about why that secrecy was maintained well after the war ended?

Between the Darwin Bombing and the Mini Submarines in Sydney Harbour (which was not a secret, see link) the anti-Japanese sentiment would be strong.


http://www.navy.gov.au/history/feature-histories/japanese-midget-submarine-attack-sydney-harbour

Public knowledge of the Changi Prison for POW's and the Thai-Burma Railway where POW's (of all allied nations) were treated abominably also was cause for strong anti-Japanese sentiment.

This link with a lot of TL;DR suggests it was not a cover up however the Govt did not voluntarily offer more details about Darwin Bombing as thoroughly as they have done with other situations of pacific theater conflict.

Here's a History Channel documentary that does talk about the post WW2 secrecy -

Why the established lawmakers do this this way I am not sure to be honest.
