Not defeated until 1947, Pacific: Forgotten Corner of Hell

I have learned something more....last to surrender on Peliliu did not happen until 1947....and Peliliu may have not been necessary but we lost over half of the soldiers that had to invade and conquer it. I find there is always something new for me to learn in the Pacific Theater. Heavy losses, hence the name, "The Forgotten Corner of Hell".

Amazing it took an Admiral to convince them , I love the then and nows too.

 

That's a great website, Victor. I hadn't gotten around to looking at the Pacific pages, so thank for posting the link.

 

A little of topic, but just want to repost this request. Maybe it'll put some new life in it.

Last I heard Juerg is still at a dead end, even with Skippers help.

Thanks

 

Um, just a bit off topic since this is the PTO section and Sigolsheom is in the ETO.

 

My Bad ! Tried to bring light to that thread. Juerg, is the man that runs that site.
