too bad all the japs were in their tunnels feeling no effect from these barrages...... a lot of marines were lost because we chose the braun over brains approach

My father was on LCI 471. It means a lot to see videos like this one. Thank you.

Hi again - Was this video filmed by a crew member or a War Department combat photographer? Great clarity in photography and color.
