Manage episode 388482835 series 2801567
This Pacific War Podcast is on the full battle of Attu featuring guest host Ian.
Craig and Ian tell the horrifying tale of the entire battle of Attu, codenamed Operation Landcrab which took place on 11–30 May 1943. The US 7th division of Major General Albert Brown faced off against the 2nd District, North Seas Garrison led by Colonel Yasuyo Yamasaki. The men would face combat alongside mother nature.
Attu was the only land battle in which Japanese and American forces fought in snowy conditions, in contrast with the tropical climate in the rest of the Pacific. The more than two-week battle ended when nearly all of the Japanese defenders were killed in brutal hand-to-hand combat after a final banzai charge broke through American lines.
