The Battle of Tarawa was fought from November 20-23, 1943. Tarawa was the most fortified atoll US forces would invade during the Pacific Campaign. Previous landings met little or no initial resistance, but this time the 4500 Japanese defenders were well-prepared, and they fought almost to the last man, exacting a heavy toll on the United States Marine Corps. More than 1000 US troops were killed in action and some 2000 were wounded in only three days of fighting at Tarawa.
Need to find a good dvd box to watch while painting the new armies. Anyone a good idea (about the pacific ofcourse)
Great video. Try “The Pacific”, HBO mini series….
For fans of forgotten film shorts try British Pathe. War and peace time films.

Another recommendation for “The Pacific”.
Tarawa is one of the battles I’d like to tackle gaming wise.
