Attu Island in the Aleutians - led by Captain Yasugo Yamazaki of the Special Naval Landing Force (Marines) on May 29, 1943.

sources vary, but somewhere between 1,000 and 2,500 Japanese attacked..... 28 survived.

I can't for the life of me imagine anything more violent and terrifying than trying to fend off a determined suicide attack.

Scary stuff.
