Items related to Okinawa 1945 the Last Battle
By April of 1945, the outcome of the war was practically a done deal. Everyone knew the Allies couldn't be stopped, including the Japanese. But the enemy was determined to make final victory as costly to the victors as possible. Okinawa, an important Japanese air base, was the logical first stop on the way to the mainland. The bloody battle was the only engagement on Japanese soil. Nearly 200,000 soldiers and civilians were killed. The largest amphibious campaign of the Pacific explodes back into life in Osprey's Okinawa 1945. From the initial battle plans to the staggering loss of life and armaments (including the destruction of the hitherto indestructible battleship Yamato), this volume is a must-read for those interested in the engagement which truly marked the end of the war in the east. 10 color line cuts. 55 B/W photos. 96 pages. The Japanese attempt to slowly grind down the enemy's will to fight is summed up in the 32nd Army's slogan: One plane for one warship One boat for one ship One man for ten of the enemy or one tank
