Where History and Heroes Meet
"Okinawa: The Last Battle Part 1"
by John Shivley
Now on You Tube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9TtgZ2jF1vU. This is his first of a planned three part lecture series on the battle of Okinawa.
John Shively, Lafayette, IN, August 23, 2021: "I am working on part 2, which will be about the actual ground battles. Part 3 will be about the Kikusui Operation (Floating Chrysanthemum), the use of the Kamikaze as a weapon against the ships of Task Force 58, and the last mission of the IJN Yamato, among other suicide weapons.
For those who will be going to Okinawa with me next year, this should prepare you well for visiting the battlefields of our Valor Tours tour. Also, sometime yet this year, I plan to put tougher a virtual tour of Okinawa as I did for Guadalcanal.
As always, any and all critical comments welcome. I want to get the history right and improve the cosmetic appearance."
