The 82-day-long battle lasted from April 1st until June 22nd, 1945. After a long campaign of island hopping, the Allies were approaching Japan, and planned to use Okinawa as a base for air operations on the planned invasion of the Japanese mainland (code named Operation Downfall). This color documentary brings you a glimpse of one of the bloodiest battles in the Pacific.
