Lost Evidence: "Peleliu" 2 of 5

Allied miliatry planners in South East Asia disagreed to equipped their miltary with tank.They felt the tanks too heavy for the haevily rained tropical soils.The Japanese instead field light tanks which were more suitable.They managed to conquered Malaya/Singapore and Indonesia quickly using them

Jap tanks were junk, Our 60mm bazooka would barely dent a German tank.

maybe because they didnt have the right materials??

Heavier armor is very much logistics intensive, and the Japanese campaigns in both the Pacific Islands and China tended to be constrained in terms of logistics availability.

There was no real driving need for the Japanese to invest in heavier armor.

they were more of shipbuilders rather than tanks

My grandfather was there in the 1st Marine Division. He described it just like this-"we were cannon fadder."

im not being racist there was a unit called "Eleanor Rossevelts Niggers" they were an all black unit, and i believe they had the best results of any black unit, and most white ones
