Okinawa Campaign 1945
A Soldier of the U.S. Marine Corps of World War Two during the battle of Okinawa; one of the last and arguably one of the bloodiest campaigns of the Pacific Theater in terms of the brutal nature of the fighting. The battle of Okinawa lasted 82 days from April - June of 1945. It gave the Americans a small preview to just how difficult a planned invasion of the Japanese mainland would be. The hard-fighting Marines of the 1st 5th and 6th Marine Divisions landed on April 1st 1945 along with Army Amphibious infantry units on the Northern end of the Island and swept South meeting ever fiercer resistance from the dug-in Japanese soldiers as they moved South. The battle of Okinawa would result in over 62,000 American casualties.
