The Typhoon of Steel

Av loren adams - 18 januari 2015 08:20

 

The Battle of Okinawa (May 1945) has been referred to as the "Typhoon of Steel" in English, and tetsu no ame ("rain of steel")  in Japanese. The nicknames refer to the ferocity of the fighting, the intensity of kamikaze suicide attacks from the Japanese defenders, and to the sheer numbers of Allied ships and armored vehicles that assaulted the island. The battle resulted in the highest number of casualties in the Pacific during World War II. Japan lost over 100,000 troops killed or captured, and the Allies suffered more than 50,000 casualties of all kinds. Simultaneously, tens of thousands of local civilians were killed, wounded, or committed suicide.
