The "Battle for Saipan" episode from "WWII: GI Diary"..... This old 1978 TV docu-drama was narrated by Lloyd Bridges and told the stories of real soldiers/sailors/pilots and their first-hand experiences in battle. Archival footage and good background music really made the stories come alive.....about 25 episodes were made. Video converted from really old VHS tape.......... This is the story of the land battle for the island of Saipan in the Marianas and the huge air/sea battle of the Philippine Sea (also known as the "Great Marianas Turkey Shoot" in slang).....part 2 of 3

This video was provided to me by the courtesy of another WWII history enthusiast from Ontario, Canada--MANY THANKS!
