After Pearl Harbor in WWII, America set out on the long mission to regain control of the Pacific. In this episode we see the long and arduous campaign drawing to a close, with American forces taking the Japanese-held islands of Guam, Tinian and Saipan in the Marianas chain.
Also in this episode: In 'Steel Town' and 'A Community At War' we see the differing experiences of two Ohio cities, Youngstown and Dayton, and how their industrial power helped drive America to victory in WWII.

With the landslide naval victory against Japanese aircraft carriers and airmen by the US Navy at the Naval Battle of Midway.
With the US Naval Superity, because they did not block and attack by sea and air, the supplies to the Japanese army in the Pacific islands.
The war against Japan would have been shorter and the deaths of all US troops would have been less.
US Marines alone in total deaths 41,592 (Rip)

My father serve in WWII, marine sargeant in 4th marine division . He on isles if Tinnian Roi Nuir and big one Saipan. The battle was so fierce an personnel that war correspondent Scherrod stated in report to Roosevelt he said the battles were so fierce that bodies on both side were ripped to pieces from shelling and much hand to hand combat. Banzai attacks were all too common, as my father learn first hand

A great nation with a proud, brave, intelligent and cultured people.
They were the best in the history of mankind,
They could not defeat them on the battlefield. That is why their enemies perverted women, blacks, and indigenous people and attacked them from within the nation.
Poor nation. Poor America, may God have compassion on them and give them strength to defeat those enemies who are inside and those who are outside.

Here we go again BLOCKING OUT AN ARM OR LEG OR THE GUY WHO HAS HIS T SHIRT SPARKING! 7O ODD YEARS AGO and PC re writing/editing history-now to get rid of the internet and pop in a video tape (when we have an hour or two to relax) and back to reading a book (no virus or hackers grabbing my book). Once whoever is starting to block out recorded history of what ACTUALLY HAPPENED it is all over!

My grandfather: 8th Army/Leyte Gulf/Philippines.
His greatest story was, during a bounding maneuver he no sooner stood up to sprint to different cover, when he took an enemy hand grenade to his forehead. The impact knocked him out. When he opened his eyes again he discovered that the grenade was a dud.
"Jesus... with an arm like that, who needs it to work."
