// WWII PACIFIC THEATER SEPTEMBER 1944 #

Iwo
Jima, Okinawa, and Guadalcanal all stand out as major battles of the
US WWII Pacific Campaign, but Peleliu arguably equaled or surpassed
them all in scale and ferocity.
Major
General William Rupertus, Commander of the 1st Marine Division,
confidently predicted the capture of Peleliu would “only take three
days – maybe two.”
But the Japanese had learned from previous
defeats and adopted new tactics designed to bleed the Americans dry.
Gone was meeting the US forces ‘head on’ at the beach and the
ineffective Banzai charges. In their place were well crafted
fortifications and disciplined attacks and some 10,000 plus defenders
that would fight to the death in the Emperor’s name.
What
ensued was a bloody battle of unprecedented savagery that nearly
destroyed an entire Marine division.

During
the period of heaviest fighting in Viet Nam, the 1,000-man 1st
Battalion 1st Marines (1/1) sustained 475 casualties in six months.
At Peleliu, this same 1,000-man Battalion sustained 660 casualties…
****IN
SIX DAYS. ****
Welcome to Peleliu… Welcome to HELL.

coral, caves, field bunkers, barbed wire, mines, smoke, artillery
