On April 1st, 1945, the US military launched an assault on Okinawa, codenamed Operation Iceberg. More than 180,000 US soldiers were deployed on the southern coast of the island. Although Japanese resistance was initially sparse, the ensuing battle for the island would last 82 days, killing an estimated 12,000 American soldiers, more than 100,000 Japanese, and roughly 50,000 Okinawan civilians. The battle was the bloodiest of the Pacific campaign, and subsequently became nicknamed the Typhoon of Steel. On June 22 US forces seized control of the island as Japanese officers committed ritual suicide. The US would use the island from which to launch naval and air attacks on mainland Japan until the end of the war.

  • Well done! The historical accuracy is top notch! An interesting "factoid" was that Japanese intelligence was trying to predict if the U.S. would invade Okinawa or Formosa. The Japanese settled on Formosa (Taiwan) and moved the veteran 9th Infantry Division (which had just arrived from the Kwantung Army in Manchuria) from Okinawa to Formosa. An additional 15,000 Japanese troops plus all of the artillery and machine guns that equipped them would have added to the casualty counts for both sides and probably prolonged the campaign by another month or so. Excellent video!
