Semper Fi: The Beginning of the End
Type: Compilation
Genre: Documentary, Military
The inner ring of Japanaese defense in the Pacific lay across five island groups. Control of these islands would open up the road to the Philippines, allow American B-29 Super fortresses to wage unrestricted bombing of Japan, and set the stage for the conquest of the last two innermost islands, Iwo Jima and Okinawa.
In this program, we follow the operations of the U.S. Marine Corp as they crack the inner ring of Japan’s defensive perimeter and prepare for the final assault on the Japanese home islands.
