dc.description | Okinawa, Japan, the largest of the Okinawa Islands in the Ryukyu Islands archipelago in the Western Pacific, was the site of bloody fighting at the end of World War II. Hall's division took part in the American landing on Okinawa on ""L Day,""April 1, Easter Sunday, 1945, bringing the war to Japanese territory. The Japanese did not mass their forces on the beaches but waited to engage the enemy in the interior, where ridges, caves, and extensive tree cover provided defensive advantage | |
