A massive carrier-based attack some weeks before the invasion destroyed all aircraft and shipping in the area and virtually isolated the Japanese garrison. 1st Marine Division commander, General Rupertus, made extravagant claims that the capture of Peleliu would “only take three days – maybe two.” But the Japanese fought a bloody battle of attrition from prepared positions and, in a struggle of unprecedented savagery, a whole Marine Division was bled white.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 248mmItem Length: 184mmItem Width: 8mmItem Weight: 362gAuthor: Jim Moran, Gordon L.
