A propos de cet article

Okinawa was the last campaign of World War II in the Pacific, a bloody affair that convinced the U.S. high command that an invasion of Japan would prove so costly that deployment of atomic weapons was a requirement.

The IJA rear-area headquarters were finally threatened so that by 22 June most major unit commanders had committed ritual suicide and ordered surviving soldiers to fight on as long as they could. then do the same, Some of these surviving IJA soldiers unfortunately committed atrocities against the civilian population. and only a small percentage surrendered. By the time the fighting stopped, U.S. casualties of all kinds, including wounded and non-combat injuries, were also high, exceeding 70,000. about equal to the number of IJA regular troops that had defended the island.?Over 160 photos and numerous maps help illustrate the riveting narrative, telling the story of American heroism against a fanatical and desperate enemy..…
