Respect!! So many Americans that lost their LIVES I guess that's life!! GOD bless every Nation and Soul! Good night I love you all and Pray for the seriously sick Islam.... I wish you all the best.
They abducted 200,000 Asians (also Caucasians), raped them up to 50 times a day & buried them alive to save bullets.
Japanese govt won't apologize to any of surviving sex slaves.
In 2007, Japanese govt org bought 1 pg. of Wall Street Journal & filled it with OUTRAGEOUS LIES: 1) the females were whores who volunteered to service Japanese soldiers. 2) Japanese govt paid them more than Japanese army generals.

My father was a marine corporal in this battle. I wish I knew for sure if he was on this video, I do think i saw him. He contracted malaria and was shipped back to the U.S. on a hospital ship. He had seven battlestars I believe. He died in 1974 when i just turned 18. He did not talk about the war much.
I've been looking around to find a complete DVD box set of the military channels "WWII in Color," for my dads B-day but haven't found what I"m looking for.
If anyone has any information of what it's called or where I could buy it it would be much appreciated.

I honestly believe that if the Japanese soldiers knew that the US would not hurt them once they surrendered, the whole Pacific theater wouldn't have taken so long. I'm calling them a bunch of pussies, but their emperor, officers and such told them horrible thing Americans would do to them if they surrendered.
@Blavits You have a pretty good point, but after years and years of studying this specific matter in world war two, the Japanese would not have surrendered anymore than they already did. They knew that the Americans wouldn't kill them, for the most part, but it was their commanders and NCO's who threatened them that if they surrender THEY will kill them before they run off, not the Americans. And scared them into believing it was more honorable to die at the hand of your enemy than to surrender.
@Blavits Yes they were told that but mostly it came from their training as Bushido Warriors and to surrender was a disgrace not only to the soldier but also his family! So in the end you get what we got....FUCK'M you can die for a code I will die for my country but if captured will do anything and everything I can to disrupt, escape, and deny the enemy anything!
@MrBRITBRIGHT Have you ever been to war? If not, then how can you honestly say that? Sure, those are the things you'd like to do, sitting at home on your pc drinking coffee in a comfortable life, but if that situation ever came up, would you really have the balls to do it? Would you have the knowledge to see where the enemies weak points are? Would you even have the strength to stand, let alone fight? What if they torture you before you even have a chance to think up a plan of action?
@25151206 Yes I have been to war and I have killed! As for your weak attempt your inlook into my daily life...well shit for brains you are way off base. I value the things you curse, I love the things you can't see in people, and most of all I am alive and some of my friends are not...just to give you that freedom you bitch about above! Would I stand....I have and I also kneeled! If you have anything else to say....talk to your maker because their is nothing I can say that would change u!
@MrBRITBRIGHT Ok, so where have you served, and who did you serve with? You "value the things I curse"? You don't even know me, so what makes you think I curse anything? If anyone has been cursing, it has been you "well, shit for brains" "fuck'm" Did you see me use any of that language in my comments to you? Have you ever seen me actually curse anything? I tell you now, the can that makes plenty noise is empty.
people thinking this some call of duty and shyt you go out there kill 7 people call in airstrike and get a nuke then see if your asss will get last stand
Is there any Video on Youtube nowdays where you can scroll down to look at comments and not read a 50 page long flame war? Good God. We're all human, respect others and watch the damn video. I'm sure soldiers on both sides here would look down on all of this BS. Grow up people.
@Nick1944 Silly intelligent person, this is not how the internet works. You pick a fight with somebody over ideals then you procede to list facts like you were the first to know. Rinse, recycle, repeat.
Statistics for dead & wounded are too low as stated by the commentator. The Koreans were actually soldiers of the Jap. army and/or navy engineer units & some were pro-Japanese. They were armed & fought out of necessity just to try & survive. Japanese killed those that didn't do their duty to the Emperor.
Could it have been possible to shell, with the 16 inch guns, or to bomb the reefs to allow the landing craft to make in to the beach? Were we talking about 2 maybe 3 feet of reef or more? How wide were they?
@christof139 Yes after thinking about this for a few days I can see that there were several items of concern regarding blowing pathways thru the reefs. 1. It would have been a major change to an already complicated battle plan involving multiple units. 2. Even if everyone did what they were assigned to do, provided it was possible in the first place, you were left with channels in the reef that would make ideal choke points for the enemy gunners to hit landing craft both coming and going.
@karuza82, Hi, yeah, problem is well described in books & reports. The reef was a shelf or table (forget correct term) reef & was quite broad in parts. Same at Peleliu. + when the tide is low it makes it more difficult for the amphips. to move over the reef. If the reef is a narrow barrier reef with deeper water offhore & inshore of it then it is easy to just blow a hole in the reef & the amphibs. can swim through deeper reef reef water to shore. Amphibs. got stuck on the broad shelf reefs.
@christof139 Come on Christof, you must have miss typed. You know the amphibs didn't get stuck on the reef, it was the Higgins boats that got stuck. The amphibs were able to crawl over the reef and continue. You always know your stuff so I hope this was a miss type.
@Toddinfantry, Surprise, a good number of amphibs did get stuck & also fell into large shell holes made by 14-inch guns in the shelf reef. The shelf reef was not a level pool table either! You're wrong.
@christof139 Please clarify amphibs then. The LVTs (amphtracs back then) floated unless damaged, so they floated over the natural and man made holes in the reef of which there were many. The "amphib" Shermans lost some to the holes. Some of the LVTs were hung up in wire and on the seawall. I know full well that the reef shelf is not flat, so don't play me the fool. How does a floatable LVT fall into a hole? And the LVTs were the only true amphib vehicle at Betio.
@Toddinfantry, Amphibs = LVTs. A good number got stuck crossing the shelf reef's uneven surface, & so did DUKWs. LVT or tank when it falls into a large shell hole with or without water in the shell hole can't get out if the shell hole has nearly vertical or too steep sides, that's how. It's all well documented in many books including official Marine Corps & Army histories of these ops. Reefs were hard obstacles to get across.
@christof139 OK now I call BS. There were NO DUKWs at Tarawa. The first unit of DUKWs in the Corps were assigned to the 1st and 2nd MarDiv and were activated 12/15/1943. So how did DUKWs get stuck on the reef at Betio when they weren't even active yet. Hmmm... a quick review of about 300 photos of the first and second day show no DUKWs. I have read many accounts of the battle, never read about LVTs stuck in holes, doesn't mean it didn't happen, but DUKWs?
@christof139 One last point, as a former Marine infantryman, I will tell you shell holes don't have vertical or very steep sides. Period. The shells from the bombardment group were flat trajectory, thus they gouged out holes, or skipped over the island. Some aerial bombing would create round holes but again they won't have vert sides. Look at all the aerial photos from the island and do you see any steep sided holes / craters? Nope.
@Toddinfantry, Some shell holes do indeed have very steep sides & it depends on the type of material the shell is making a hole in. Sand & soft earth you don't get steep sides, harder soil & coral & rock you can indeed get steep sided shell holes. I was in the infantry too, whoopty-do. Takes more knowledge than that to analyze & determine many things.
@Toddinfantry, You know not much. Try using some scientific etc. analyses, common sense, etc. Yeah, coral reefs could & did hang-up DUKWs, CRABs, LCI's, LCVPs, tanks, & LVTs. Well documented for the reasons I explained.
@christof139 Ahhh... the broad brush defense. Of course they did, you spoke of a specific and I disputed your specific. Now you just brush over the detail, so what documentation do you have? Show me more than I know.
@Toddinfantry, You don't know as much as you think & I proved it by what I stated. Another point you disregard or don't know is that any vehicle, whether tracked or wjeeled or a combination of both can only climb a slope of a certain gradient, & that gradient is not usually very steep. BTW, I've known a lot of engineers, scientists (my degree is in a science), USMC, Army, etc. personnel, have driven APCs, trucks, jeeps, whatever & seen some very steep sided shell holes so ... you are being silly
@christof139 Ya you proved it and I'm just silly as a little girl.
1. Most tracked vehicles can negotiate a grade of 60%. try walking 60% and tell me how steep it is.
2. Lots of photos of LVT stuck with their ass in the air where they fell into holes, if the hole was big enough for the LVT to settle into it can crawl back out. No evidence of this at all.
3. Still calling BS on DUKWs at Tarawa...need some evidence?
@Toddinfantry, Many WWII tracked vehicles couln't negotiate such steep grades, especially if the hole is in broken coral, which coral can also help throw a track. 8-in. shells make large & deep craters, just think what a 14-in. shell would do, or a 500-lb. -1,000-lb.+ aerial bomb. There are also natural holes & gullies on a shelf reef. There are indeed pics of stuck LVTs on reefs & on land. Same for tanks. I never said DUWKs were at Tarawa, so you simply want to argue. DUWKs were at Peleliu
@Toddinfantry, Your quote "Ya you proved it and I'm just silly as a little girl."
I never said that. i just said you were silly. Most LVTs did make it across the reefs without getting stuck or throwing a track, but a few did get stuck and/or throw a track. Always happens to some degree or other with every type of vehicle or wepon something always goes wrong due to various reasons. It's not a big deal.
@Toddinfantry, The points are: 1) ANY amphibious assualt is difficult. 2) An amphibious assault across a bariier reef is more difficult. 3) An amphibious assault across a fringe/fringing/shelf reef is very difficult. 4) At Tarawa the time periods of low & high tides were misinterpreted or whatever, & the Marines went in at low tide which caused huge problems for all the various types of landing craft.
I have the official USMC history of Peleliu by Hough, & more on Peleliu, ~$12 on Ebay.
@christof139 So this post is very correct and our debate had peaked my curiosity to find more info. So a quick email to a friend at the Museum of the Marines and I get back these numbers that actually supports your premise and he is doing some more looking for me. Of the 125 LVTs that were available at Betio only 38 were operational at the end of the battle. 19 were immediately recoverable and had been abandoned due to fuel, motor or track problems.
@Toddinfantry, Yeah, some of the LVTs got stuck etc. The fringing/shelf reef is not smooth & level like a pool table & has gullied & holes etc. in it caused by the ocean currents, + the landing took place at low tide & that caused problems for all the vehicles crossing the fringing reef. Can you grasp that fact? Mechanical problems also = broken tracks etc. caused by the coral rock & LVT tracks were not as durable as tank tracks.
@christof139 Chill pill guy, I was backing up your point and you are still fighting. Relax. I was just able to get to some info that showed your point to be correct for the most part.
@Toddinfantry, Oh, it sounded the other way around! Modern M1's etc. can get stuck in shell holes & mud. Tracks can just spin like buring rubber on a street & the tank will just dig itself in deeper.
Omaha Beach; landing was also made at low tide due to the presence of a seawall located at the highwater mark, but no reef, just rows of sandbars with deep runnels between them, in which runnels many troops drowned.
@christof139 No worries, you and I work toward the same end...keeping the facts correct. Yeah, I know about tanks getting stuck, I watched an M-60 go deep in a field in Beirut. It took 2 wrecker trucks and 2 amtraks as anchors to get it out.
You are correct also about Omaha. There was a docu yrs ago that had divers swim the beach out to about 1,000 m and they filmed the bottom. I have no idea what it was called but the images showed a very uneven bottom.
@christof139 I trained in amphib landings with both amtracks and the old Higgins (what we called Mike boats). You never know what you will encounter once you step off the ramp. I've seen boats bottomed out and you take a few steps away from the ramp and all of a sudden you are chin deep. Glad that ended about half way through my time in, I am way to short for that crap.
@Toddinfantry, You all still had WWII era Higgins? That must have been in the late 1980's/early 1990's or so since you are ~40? Amphibious ops, whether onto a beach or across a river or lake are all dangerous without the enemy, especially if someone doesn't turn on the bilge pump(s) in an APC etc. Someone I knew did that & we almost sunk in an M-113. No reef crossings though for me. I'm almost 60 now & am kaput due to lung cancer that moved to my brain - only months left if lucky ...
@christof139 Late 70's and into the 80's actually. Higgins were pretty much phased out by then but we still did the training (all John Wayne stuff) with them just in case. I rode in an LVTP-7 that forgot to latch one side of the top hatches and when we dove off the back of the LST, man what a surprise. The bilge pumps were on thankfully.
Sorry to hear of your illness. Stay strong, you are still needed here keeping the truth straight.
@Toddinfantry, Thanx. That's interesting what you say. The bilge pump incident was funny. We kept getting slightly lower in the water & I thought I heard yelling from shore so I turned around & everyone was hollering & waving so I too the TC helmet off (radio didn't work I think) & heard 'bilge pumps!' etc.
I think fishing poles should be issued to some of the infantry passengers for amphibious ops. to keep their mind off somethings.
@Toddinfantry, Another odd but funny fact: The Army at one time - & I think now - has more ships & boats than the navy due to the Corps of Engineers & their work on inland & coastal waters. I save that for use every now & then with my dad, a WWII navy type, LCI's at Okinawa etc. Whn I was a kid, our neighbor Earl was with the Corps at Iwo etc. I knew a lot of Marines from WWII through Vietnam Era etc.
We crossed the Rhine 2x on assault pontoon barges in ~1972, & almost sunk in a deep pond.
@christof139 Another 27 were recovered that had been lost to battle damage and 9 had been recovered by ships, due to mainly motor problems and battle damage.
@karuza82 The actual reef on the north side of Betio started about 500 m from shore and it differed in places. Some were very shallow and at low tide the reef showed, some areas were deeper and the bottom was very uneven once on the reef. The only real way to open the reef would be divers and explosives and it was way to far to do this without the Japanese countering. You already know about the "choke points"
turkish army fuxks us in the ass america is full of bastards and americans are pussy the get scared by poor taliban with aks we fought vs russians and britians with our
wifef and kids in ww1 we fuckd them out out our country fucking pussy in the future
turkey and japan will rise again over the world madda faggas
@mert360 Looks like you wont rise with the whole education thing though will ya? Hey mighty turk does it piss ya off you have to fly US airplanes? Drive US tanks? Use German rifles? US helicopters? I know here in America we have two things turkish. Camel Cigs,( that may just be a marketing ploy) and gummie bears, harboro! You have a bit of a uphill climb taking the world with these exports and the talent you have displayed when it comes to the command of english! good luck!
@mert360 soft spot hu? Your air force flies f16s, and F4s both American made, you fly our helicopters, md500,h60,huey,ah1 and our old m60 tanks, germanys old leopard 1 etc. Your rifles are made under lic from HK, HK33 copy, not Turkish . I dont think your countrys backwards thats what greeks think of you. as you said " turkish army fucked us in the ass" I dont think this came out the way you wanted? Maybe it was right on? Whatever! At least you have got those gummie bears! u go turk girl!
@mert360 . The last years of capitalisim are coming hu? and "democratie" umm. OK, dont care, I would prefer a good dictator, more efficient. Now, whats it like to stand in line for a welfare check from another nation? Do you even feel guilty when you walk by all those decent productive germans knowing they have to pay for you? What do real Turks think of u? do they envey your type or hate you ? curious Ive never known anyone who ran from my country for a handout elsewhere?
@mert360 Hey Mert if Turkey is so great why ya in Germany? Oh ya guess that socialist welfare is better then working in a great place like turkey hu? You have so much pride in turkey you snuck your ass into germany so you could carry my bags to my room for a tip! What a flake! Ya know what makes a nation great? Its the people who live there and bust their ass to make it so, they dont run away from home for welfare in Germany! When I want to hear about Turkey I will ask a real Turk !
i feel sorry for the guys who had to fight in the pacific the yanks that thought in europe where lucky they got laid by beutiful european chicks during the war
@Apockiller Actually, Betio today is a busy island. You can go all over the island and not find munitions or remains. The Japanese took over the island and have made it a fishing port and destroyed or removed much of the history from this battle.
@Toddinfantry Really? Is it really clean ? I'm curious because I watched another youtube about Betio and it showed how dirty it was and all the unexploded ordnance laying around. Maybe this was years ago though? Did you recently go there? Thanks
@boatstaylor Well "clean" isn't the word. The island is littered with trash everywhere. There are areas where relics remain, the coastal guns, the command bunker etc. I don't know when the vid you are referring to was taken, but if you look at google earth and zoom in on Betio, you will see that most of the island is built up. Most of the indentation that was Red 1 / Red 2 has been filled in. There is a guy on the web that dives near the reef and finds ammo cans etc from drowned Marines.
@Toddinfantry Wow, thank you so much! What an opportunity you had to visit such a place in the Pacific. I would love to visit some of the Pacific Islands! Thanks
@Aaidas2 Nope, the history we learn today include lies.. Because it get written by the victor.. And for a good picture of a event.. You need to look at both sides view.. And that's not happening lol.. I always have this argument with my history teachers.
@Aaidas2 Yes there are some but very hard to find. Only one that I have seen has about two minutes from the actual invasion. Film of Tarawa from the Japanese side is mostly pre battle. Most was sent around for intell, and who knows what happened to most of it. Would be very interesting to see a bunch of it. The film from the battle was taken from the east end of Red 3 during the first morning. WOW!
@Phoneman22 you guys as the people, the citizens, yes you believe in liberty. but your officials and elites are the ones im hating on. your whole country is in debt, and where theres debt, there is no liberty my friend. i hope your not living under the impression that your elites are there to help you, and that they actaully give 2 shits about you. your they're product, the whole country is tought to consume consume and consume.
@Phoneman22 you wana talk about liberty??haha, go to Holland, thats fucking liberty. we north americans are enslaved by our own monetary system. and we think its okay and that its a norm. our own people have brainwashed us to the point where we think its normal to owe thousands to the banks
@Phoneman22 if thats sound like liberty to you man, than idunno what to say. all your tax money helps poor fuckers across the continent get theyre limbs blown off, and you guys remain under the impression that its helping the country, just because they say so on TV. baha
Why did japanese invaded americans anyway? The fronts had been quite isolated. there was no need of attacking usa, and sure they knew they couldnt possibly win.
The Illuminati caused it. Time is running, if you want to stop what's coming, Research intensely about the Illuminati, & you will be able to see who your TRUE enemies are.
Man, American documentaries are bull. "4500 elite jap soldiers"? how about 1500 jap soldiers and 2000 untrained korean laborers. Almost all american made documentaries are terrible over exaturated
i laugh so much when japanese "find their way to marine landing craft and use the machine gun to shoot back at the marines". Probably the marines got shot "hey mate, its us, what the hell are you doing", then later he found out, "ooh shit, its jap in our boat".
I have no idea what jap thinking when they do that. But thats kind of creepy fun.
Not trying to act like I know everything, But the Nazis did Kill,Torture,Starve,Slave Inocent jewish civillians because as everyone knows Hitler hated them for some reason that I don't know, But you also can't blame this on all the german war fighters and civillians because once they found out what Hitler was up to, There was no escape, They were commited to fight for his sick,sick thought of somehow taking over the world...
@romek305: WOW someone's bitter! You love me long time? Go back to the "fried lice" and throw your comments out to people who care. The Japenese started the war, last I checked and committed some of the worse humanity crimes ever! EVER AHOLE! Take you comments shove them up where you get the most out of them!
@madgnome0621 “The things I saw beggar description…The visual evidence and the verbal testimony of starvation, cruelty and bestiality were so overpowering…I made the visit deliberately, in order to be in a position to give first hand evidence of these things if ever, in the future, there develops a tendency to charge these allegations to propaganda.”
@nomadnametab That would have really screwed their day up. Too bad the "daisy cutters" mission was not executed, even these would have turned a lot of Japanese into jelly.
Even if it's right what you're saying madgnome, you could also say all the Americans killed people in the Iraq. It were not all the germans who killed the jews, that was a part of the Nazi dictatorship. Patriotism does not saving lives my friend.
what negative comments on here ...these men fought and died on these islands ..what a waste of young american lives..yet it had to be done...the horror..the death..we who have never seen this must be aware of there sacrifice...such a shame they gave it all for the fuck wits on here who belittle the u.s marines...be ashamed of yourselves...YOU WERE NOT THERE...YOU KNOW NOTHING...bless the U.S MARINES
You guys really think the USA gave a flying fuck about Europe? The only reason they 'saved' us is because they thought they could benefit from it!!!!!!
We join a war and you people call us war mongers. We stay out of a war and you people call us cowards. Unreal, we just can't fucking win with you people.
Im a scot thank you america for your sacrafice my dad was in burma ww2 and i was in our army for 12 years ,it was hell for them no one has the right to say anything bad about what they went though.
=~+~=HI! okay so im in NJROTC at my high school. and my commander gave the NS3's(3rd year of naval science)a project to do a huge research paper on anything military (i.e. battels, wars, important people, commisoned ships, etc) and i decided to to the Battle of Tarawa since my grandpa served in it as a Marine. what i want to do with my project is to interview someone who served in it. but he passed 9 yrs ago. so if you know any one who has served in it email me at
@SmrtJugoslaviji pffffthhh...little illiterate dumb squeaking lamer. WHO is the reason for WHAT? I suppose you are not just a pathetic internet nerd but a jugoslovenian ottoman bastard too...LOL.
@RodrigoBorgia you are obviously the illiterate person here. 1) its not jugoslovenian but jugoslav you diaspora bastard. 2) something like a jugoslav never existed... it existed in communists minds but thank god they are dead or at least out of power.
i said the US are the reason why he is now here talking things because if hitler won he wouldnt be. so spare your pathetic language for your parents who tought you behave like a caveman.
@helcio1960 i didnt say that the US were the only people fighting but the US gave also their sons for the liberty of the world. you cant deny all that just because of iraq. iraq was a wrong place to go but not afghanistan i wished all people who lame around because of afghanistan lived just 1 month among the taliban they would change their minds in 100% of all cases.
@helcio1960 Leave Korea out of it. Korean war wasn't a failure nor it was a victory. It was a ceasefire between the north and South Korea/United Nations. The war is still going on just under a ceasefire. The US wasn't there to win the war in korea. It was a police action to help the South Korean from being taking over by communist North. Without the UN involvement the whole Korea would have been communist. South Korea is the most prosperous country in the world while north is not.
@XpresloX We most definitely had a choice. Either lose a million American soldiers and countless millions of Japanese soldiers and civilians, or vaporize 150,000 Japanese with atomic bombs. Fortunately, we made the right choice.
@XpresloX Never said it WASN'T justified, but the notion that we had no choice is just not true. Ever hear of Operation Downfall? THAT was the alternative. It wasn't a good alternative, but it was an alternative nonetheless. Fat Man and Little Boy were the best choice.
For make end the war with Jap quickly, we had NO CHOICE to use Atomic bombs, and i believe its a good choice, because our Allied prisoners were now dying in Japanese prisons. Jap want continous to fight and continous to kill the civilian of pacific countries
By simple definition of what a "choice" is, yes, we had a choice. Operation Downfall was the other choice. It wasn't as good a choice as the nuclear weapons, so we didn't take it. But we had a choice.
I believe that was a best choice, take another choice we should pay with a died with our soldiers lifes. Whatever if Jap had Atomic bombs, it was sure they had been used that without all regret and all remorse
@justsomedude777 I agree, and deserved allot worse than they got. We were way to lenient with accepting their surrender, we should have burned all of Japan to the ground.
I'm getting sick if I read this "culture bullsh*t" and "defender of crap"! There is no such thing as "German culture" as you sick people believe. Take some time to check your nonsense in the history books(not like gorfaf88, he obviously studies the wrong history). Get a life and try to understand life instead of spamming with nationalistic feces.

Japanese were as evil as Nazi.
They abducted 200,000 Asians & also Caucasians, raped them up to 50 times a day & buried them alive to save bullets.
Japanese govt won't apologize to the surviving sex slaves.
In 2007, Japanese govt org's bought 1 pg. of Wall Street Journal & filled it with OUTRAGEOUS LIES: (1) the females were whores who volunteered to serve Japanese soldiers. (2) Japanese govt paid them more than Japanese army generals.

I honestly believe that if the Japanese soldiers knew that the US would not hurt them once they surrendered, the whole Pacific theater wouldn't have taken so long. I'm calling them a bunch of pussies, but their emperor, officers and such told them horrible thing Americans would do to them if they surrendered.
Blavits 8 months ago
@Blavits You have a pretty good point, but after years and years of studying this specific matter in world war two, the Japanese would not have surrendered anymore than they already did. They knew that the Americans wouldn't kill them, for the most part, but it was their commanders and NCO's who threatened them that if they surrender THEY will kill them before they run off, not the Americans. And scared them into believing it was more honorable to die at the hand of your enemy than to surrender.

Could it have been possible to shell, with the 16 inch guns, or to bomb the reefs to allow the landing craft to make in to the beach? Were we talking about 2 maybe 3 feet of reef or more? How wide were they?
karuza82 1 year ago
@karuza82, Some areas of the reef were 1/4 to perhaps 1 mile wide. Betio was but 1 island of the Tarawa atoll.
christof139 1 year ago
@christof139 Yes after thinking about this for a few days I can see that there were several items of concern regarding blowing pathways thru the reefs. 1. It would have been a major change to an already complicated battle plan involving multiple units. 2. Even if everyone did what they were assigned to do, provided it was possible in the first place, you were left with channels in the reef that would make ideal choke points for the enemy gunners to hit landing craft both coming and going.
karuza82 1 year ago
@karuza82, Hi, yeah, problem is well described in books & reports. The reef was a shelf or table (forget correct term) reef & was quite broad in parts. Same at Peleliu. + when the tide is low it makes it more difficult for the amphips. to move over the reef. If the reef is a narrow barrier reef with deeper water offhore & inshore of it then it is easy to just blow a hole in the reef & the amphibs. can swim through deeper reef reef water to shore. Amphibs. got stuck on the broad shelf reefs.
christof139 1 year ago
@christof139 Come on Christof, you must have miss typed. You know the amphibs didn't get stuck on the reef, it was the Higgins boats that got stuck. The amphibs were able to crawl over the reef and continue. You always know your stuff so I hope this was a miss type.
Toddinfantry 1 year ago
@Toddinfantry, Surprise, a good number of amphibs did get stuck & also fell into large shell holes made by 14-inch guns in the shelf reef. The shelf reef was not a level pool table either! You're wrong.
christof139 1 year ago
@christof139 Please clarify amphibs then. The LVTs (amphtracs back then) floated unless damaged, so they floated over the natural and man made holes in the reef of which there were many. The "amphib" Shermans lost some to the holes. Some of the LVTs were hung up in wire and on the seawall. I know full well that the reef shelf is not flat, so don't play me the fool. How does a floatable LVT fall into a hole? And the LVTs were the only true amphib vehicle at Betio.
Toddinfantry 1 year ago
@Toddinfantry, Amphibs = LVTs. A good number got stuck crossing the shelf reef's uneven surface, & so did DUKWs. LVT or tank when it falls into a large shell hole with or without water in the shell hole can't get out if the shell hole has nearly vertical or too steep sides, that's how. It's all well documented in many books including official Marine Corps & Army histories of these ops. Reefs were hard obstacles to get across.
christof139 1 year ago
@christof139 OK now I call BS. There were NO DUKWs at Tarawa. The first unit of DUKWs in the Corps were assigned to the 1st and 2nd MarDiv and were activated 12/15/1943. So how did DUKWs get stuck on the reef at Betio when they weren't even active yet. Hmmm... a quick review of about 300 photos of the first and second day show no DUKWs. I have read many accounts of the battle, never read about LVTs stuck in holes, doesn't mean it didn't happen, but DUKWs?
Toddinfantry 1 year ago
@christof139 One last point, as a former Marine infantryman, I will tell you shell holes don't have vertical or very steep sides. Period. The shells from the bombardment group were flat trajectory, thus they gouged out holes, or skipped over the island. Some aerial bombing would create round holes but again they won't have vert sides. Look at all the aerial photos from the island and do you see any steep sided holes / craters? Nope.
Toddinfantry 1 year ago
@Toddinfantry, Some shell holes do indeed have very steep sides & it depends on the type of material the shell is making a hole in. Sand & soft earth you don't get steep sides, harder soil & coral & rock you can indeed get steep sided shell holes. I was in the infantry too, whoopty-do. Takes more knowledge than that to analyze & determine many things.

@Toddinfantry, You know not much. Try using some scientific etc. analyses, common sense, etc. Yeah, coral reefs could & did hang-up DUKWs, CRABs, LCI's, LCVPs, tanks, & LVTs. Well documented for the reasons I explained.
Anything else genius?

@christof139 Ahhh... the broad brush defense. Of course they did, you spoke of a specific and I disputed your specific. Now you just brush over the detail, so what documentation do you have? Show me more than I know.
Toddinfantry 1 year ago
@Toddinfantry, You don't know as much as you think & I proved it by what I stated. Another point you disregard or don't know is that any vehicle, whether tracked or wjeeled or a combination of both can only climb a slope of a certain gradient, & that gradient is not usually very steep. BTW, I've known a lot of engineers, scientists (my degree is in a science), USMC, Army, etc. personnel, have driven APCs, trucks, jeeps, whatever & seen some very steep sided shell holes so ... you are being silly
christof139 1 year ago
@christof139 Ya you proved it and I'm just silly as a little girl.
1. Most tracked vehicles can negotiate a grade of 60%. try walking 60% and tell me how steep it is.
2. Lots of photos of LVT stuck with their ass in the air where they fell into holes, if the hole was big enough for the LVT to settle into it can crawl back out. No evidence of this at all.
3. Still calling BS on DUKWs at Tarawa...need some evidence?
Come on I would think you could do better.
Toddinfantry 1 year ago
@Toddinfantry, Many WWII tracked vehicles couln't negotiate such steep grades, especially if the hole is in broken coral, which coral can also help throw a track. 8-in. shells make large & deep craters, just think what a 14-in. shell would do, or a 500-lb. -1,000-lb.+ aerial bomb. There are also natural holes & gullies on a shelf reef. There are indeed pics of stuck LVTs on reefs & on land. Same for tanks. I never said DUWKs were at Tarawa, so you simply want to argue. DUWKs were at Peleliu

@Toddinfantry, Your quote "Ya you proved it and I'm just silly as a little girl."
I never said that. i just said you were silly. Most LVTs did make it across the reefs without getting stuck or throwing a track, but a few did get stuck and/or throw a track. Always happens to some degree or other with every type of vehicle or wepon something always goes wrong due to various reasons. It's not a big deal.
BTW, I do believe DUKWs were used at Tarawa.
christof139 1 year ago
@Toddinfantry, The points are: 1) ANY amphibious assualt is difficult. 2) An amphibious assault across a bariier reef is more difficult. 3) An amphibious assault across a fringe/fringing/shelf reef is very difficult. 4) At Tarawa the time periods of low & high tides were misinterpreted or whatever, & the Marines went in at low tide which caused huge problems for all the various types of landing craft.
I have the official USMC history of Peleliu by Hough, & more on Peleliu, ~$12 on Ebay.
christof139 1 year ago
@christof139 So this post is very correct and our debate had peaked my curiosity to find more info. So a quick email to a friend at the Museum of the Marines and I get back these numbers that actually supports your premise and he is doing some more looking for me. Of the 125 LVTs that were available at Betio only 38 were operational at the end of the battle. 19 were immediately recoverable and had been abandoned due to fuel, motor or track problems.
Toddinfantry 1 year ago
@Toddinfantry, Yeah, some of the LVTs got stuck etc. The fringing/shelf reef is not smooth & level like a pool table & has gullied & holes etc. in it caused by the ocean currents, + the landing took place at low tide & that caused problems for all the vehicles crossing the fringing reef. Can you grasp that fact? Mechanical problems also = broken tracks etc. caused by the coral rock & LVT tracks were not as durable as tank tracks.
christof139 11 months ago
@christof139 Chill pill guy, I was backing up your point and you are still fighting. Relax. I was just able to get to some info that showed your point to be correct for the most part.
Toddinfantry 11 months ago
@Toddinfantry, Oh, it sounded the other way around! Modern M1's etc. can get stuck in shell holes & mud. Tracks can just spin like buring rubber on a street & the tank will just dig itself in deeper.
Omaha Beach; landing was also made at low tide due to the presence of a seawall located at the highwater mark, but no reef, just rows of sandbars with deep runnels between them, in which runnels many troops drowned.
christof139 11 months ago
@christof139 No worries, you and I work toward the same end...keeping the facts correct. Yeah, I know about tanks getting stuck, I watched an M-60 go deep in a field in Beirut. It took 2 wrecker trucks and 2 amtraks as anchors to get it out.
You are correct also about Omaha. There was a docu yrs ago that had divers swim the beach out to about 1,000 m and they filmed the bottom. I have no idea what it was called but the images showed a very uneven bottom.
Toddinfantry 11 months ago
@christof139 I trained in amphib landings with both amtracks and the old Higgins (what we called Mike boats). You never know what you will encounter once you step off the ramp. I've seen boats bottomed out and you take a few steps away from the ramp and all of a sudden you are chin deep. Glad that ended about half way through my time in, I am way to short for that crap.
Toddinfantry 11 months ago
@Toddinfantry, You all still had WWII era Higgins? That must have been in the late 1980's/early 1990's or so since you are ~40? Amphibious ops, whether onto a beach or across a river or lake are all dangerous without the enemy, especially if someone doesn't turn on the bilge pump(s) in an APC etc. Someone I knew did that & we almost sunk in an M-113. No reef crossings though for me. I'm almost 60 now & am kaput due to lung cancer that moved to my brain - only months left if lucky ...
christof139 11 months ago
@christof139 Late 70's and into the 80's actually. Higgins were pretty much phased out by then but we still did the training (all John Wayne stuff) with them just in case. I rode in an LVTP-7 that forgot to latch one side of the top hatches and when we dove off the back of the LST, man what a surprise. The bilge pumps were on thankfully.
Sorry to hear of your illness. Stay strong, you are still needed here keeping the truth straight.

Toddinfantry 11 months ago
@Toddinfantry, Thanx. That's interesting what you say. The bilge pump incident was funny. We kept getting slightly lower in the water & I thought I heard yelling from shore so I turned around & everyone was hollering & waving so I too the TC helmet off (radio didn't work I think) & heard 'bilge pumps!' etc.
I think fishing poles should be issued to some of the infantry passengers for amphibious ops. to keep their mind off somethings.
christof139 11 months ago
@Toddinfantry, Another odd but funny fact: The Army at one time - & I think now - has more ships & boats than the navy due to the Corps of Engineers & their work on inland & coastal waters. I save that for use every now & then with my dad, a WWII navy type, LCI's at Okinawa etc. Whn I was a kid, our neighbor Earl was with the Corps at Iwo etc. I knew a lot of Marines from WWII through Vietnam Era etc.
We crossed the Rhine 2x on assault pontoon barges in ~1972, & almost sunk in a deep pond.

@karuza82 The actual reef on the north side of Betio started about 500 m from shore and it differed in places. Some were very shallow and at low tide the reef showed, some areas were deeper and the bottom was very uneven once on the reef. The only real way to open the reef would be divers and explosives and it was way to far to do this without the Japanese countering. You already know about the "choke points"

@SOLIDOUS917 You might want to look into that a little more. How about 4,000 Japanese special landing forces. Basically Japanese Marines.

i laugh so much when japanese "find their way to marine landing craft and use the machine gun to shoot back at the marines". Probably the marines got shot "hey mate, its us, what the hell are you doing", then later he found out, "ooh shit, its jap in our boat".
I have no idea what jap thinking when they do that. But thats kind of creepy fun.

Not trying to act like I know everything, But the Nazis did Kill,Torture,Starve,Slave Inocent jewish civillians because as everyone knows Hitler hated them for some reason that I don't know, But you also can't blame this on all the german war fighters and civillians because once they found out what Hitler was up to, There was no escape, They were commited to fight for his sick,sick thought of somehow taking over the world...

@nomadnametab That would have really screwed their day up. Too bad the "daisy cutters" mission was not executed, even these would have turned a lot of Japanese into jelly.

Even if it's right what you're saying madgnome, you could also say all the Americans killed people in the Iraq. It were not all the germans who killed the jews, that was a part of the Nazi dictatorship. Patriotism does not saving lives my friend.

@SmrtJugoslaviji What arrogance! The U.S. Marines were heroes in WW II to rid Europe of the Nazi regime, fought like lions in the Pacific..
They should have stopped there. After that was only failures. Korea, Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan were and are resounding failures.
Times have changed and the armed forces of the United States think they are in the last century.
Less arrogance and more understanding.

@helcio1960 i didnt say that the US were the only people fighting but the US gave also their sons for the liberty of the world. you cant deny all that just because of iraq. iraq was a wrong place to go but not afghanistan i wished all people who lame around because of afghanistan lived just 1 month among the taliban they would change their minds in 100% of all cases.

@helcio1960 Leave Korea out of it. Korean war wasn't a failure nor it was a victory. It was a ceasefire between the north and South Korea/United Nations. The war is still going on just under a ceasefire. The US wasn't there to win the war in korea. It was a police action to help the South Korean from being taking over by communist North. Without the UN involvement the whole Korea would have been communist. South Korea is the most prosperous country in the world while north is not.

@Hperman09 That North Korea is a poor country that is a fact.
South Korea is a country much richer than its northern neighbor.
But do not think it's a happy society.
Their ancient traditions are gone.
Civil rights are very restricted.
Democracy is not pester and unrestricted.
The education system is patterned after the military.
And freedom of expression and restricted.
Despite being a democratic country.

@XpresloX We most definitely had a choice. Either lose a million American soldiers and countless millions of Japanese soldiers and civilians, or vaporize 150,000 Japanese with atomic bombs. Fortunately, we made the right choice.

Jap didn't want serrunder even after first Atomb bomb, we had no choise to use a second Bomb then Jap was serrunder. Its 100% justify !
XpresloX 1 year ago
@XpresloX Never said it WASN'T justified, but the notion that we had no choice is just not true. Ever hear of Operation Downfall? THAT was the alternative. It wasn't a good alternative, but it was an alternative nonetheless. Fat Man and Little Boy were the best choice.

@mattorama
For make end the war with Jap quickly, we had NO CHOICE to use Atomic bombs, and i believe its a good choice, because our Allied prisoners were now dying in Japanese prisons. Jap want continous to fight and continous to kill the civilian of pacific countries
XpresloX 1 year ago
@XpresloX
By simple definition of what a "choice" is, yes, we had a choice. Operation Downfall was the other choice. It wasn't as good a choice as the nuclear weapons, so we didn't take it. But we had a choice.
mattorama 1 year ago
@mattorama
I believe that was a best choice, take another choice we should pay with a died with our soldiers lifes. Whatever if Jap had Atomic bombs, it was sure they had been used that without all regret and all remorse

I'm getting sick if I read this "culture bullsh*t" and "defender of crap"! There is no such thing as "German culture" as you sick people believe. Take some time to check your nonsense in the history books(not like gorfaf88, he obviously studies the wrong history). Get a life and try to understand life instead of spamming with nationalistic feces.
