Download or read book Victory at Peleliu written by John Peter DeCioccio and published by University of Oklahoma Press. This book was released on 2013-02-14 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When the 1st Marine Division began its invasion of Peleliu in September 1944, the operation in the South Pacific was to take but four days. In fact, capturing this small coral island in the Palaus with its strategic airstrip took two months and involved some of the bloodiest fighting of the Second World War in the Pacific. Rather than the easy conquest they were led to expect, the Marines who landed on Peleliu faced a war of attrition from the island's Japanese defenders, who had dug tunnels and fortified the island's rugged terrain. When the Marines' advance stalled after a week of heavy casualties, the "Wildcats" of the 81st Infantry Division were called in, at first as support. Eventually, the 1st Marines Division was evacuated and the 81st Infantry secured the island. Now Bobby C. Blair and John Peter DeCioccio tell the story of this campaign through the eyes of the 81st Infantry to offer a revised assessment. Previous accounts of the battle have focused on the 1st Marines, all but ignoring the 81st Infantry Division's contributions. Victory at Peleliu demonstrates that without the army's help the marines could not have succeeded on Peleliu. Blair and DeCioccio have mined the 81st Division's unit records and interviewed scores of veteran participants. The new data they offer challenge the orthodox view that the 81st Infantry merely mopped up an already broken enemy. Allowing their interviewees to tell much of the story, the authors also give a human face to a brutal battle. Although American efforts in the Palau Islands proved largely unnecessary to ultimately defeating the Japanese, the lessons learned on Peleliu were crucial in subsequent fighting on Iwo Jima and Okinawa. The 81st Infantry's contributions are now part of that larger story.

Book excerpt: Originally I included this story in my book, "Sitting on a Log" which is my autobiography and the mystery that clouded my Mother's death. All my books can be found at:www.JohnCharlesHarman.comGlen Harman70th Infantry training at Camp AdairUncle Glen was part of the 81st Infantry Division; he was a Ranger and part of an elite fighting group of men known as the "Wild Cats". They landed in Hawaii, June 11th thru - July 8th of 1944. The 81st Infantry Division was made up of the 321st, 322nd and 323rd Regimental Combat Teams (RCTs) and was to assault both Angaur (321st and 322nd RCTs) and Ulithi (323rd RCT), but only when released by the 1st Marine Division commander.My Uncle Glen was part of the first Army amphibious landing on the island of Peleliu to support the Marines that had suffered their largest percent of causalities in any American battle. I believe the account by my Uncle Glen will add to the history of the battles he participated in during WWII.

Book excerpt: Historien om den amerikanske 81. infanteri-division, The Wildcat Division, og dens indsats under 2. Verdenskrig og dens hårde kampe i Stillehavet. Divisionen angreb på Palau-øerne i de vestlige Carolinere, og blev fra da af brugt til at udrense japanske forsvarslommer i de erobrede områder. De jog fjenden væk fra småøer i Carolinerne, hvor den havde haft en del baser, og på Fillippinerne deltog en del af divisionen i angreb på japanske hær på øen Leyte i dens nordvestlige del. Den skulle tillige have deltaget i den såkaldte Operation Olympic, et planlagt angreb på den japanske ø Kyushu, som dog blev skrinlagt af strategiske årsager. Senere deltog enheden i besættelsen af selve kejserriget Japan.

Download or read book Breathes There a Soldier written by Lawrence G. Heatley and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2001 with total page 442 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: World War II, the most desperate stuggle ever endured by mankind, changed the world forever and those who fought in its battles. Sergeant Robert Heatley, a U.S. Army infantryman, put pen to paper recording history as it was made. Breathes There A Soldier, the compilation of his journals, brings to life the experiences, both humorous and horrific, of an American soldier in the Pacific Theater. From the grind of combat training, to the agony of the battlefield, Sergeant Heatley's first person account of the 81st Infantry Division in World War II is a welcome addition to the genre of the U.S. Army's contribution to American history.
