- Prabhupada: And then, now they have manufactured United Nations. But for the last twenty years or more than that, they are endeavoring to be united, but when I go New York, I see flags are increasing, no united, disunity. You see? And war is going on. Therefore, on this material platform this so-called unity is impossible. Unity is possible only on the spiritual platform.

Nobody on here can spell peleliu? That's sad.
honestly, i struggle to spell it sometimes
Palau is correct. That is the name of the archipelago that Peleliu belongs to.
I missed that day in class!
My grandpa was in the 81st wildcat division and my father and uncles said everytime he would get drunk he would go on and on about peleliu
Palau islands.
In 1985 I read “With the Old Breed, at Pelilue and Okinawa” , by Eugene Sledge. That book changed my life. I called up the University of Birmingham in Alabama, and spoke with Mr. Sledge for about an hour. He was still teaching there. I told him how much the book effected me. He said that all veterans of WWII just want to be remembered. In the 80’s , I gave about 500 copies of the book to the high schools in Orange County, California. The next year, I went to Japan and Okinawa . I felt that I was going back 40 years in time. It was a great, sobering trip. I started to go to Memorial Day services and have missed One because of rain since then. Maybe this year might miss because of coronavirius. But, Mr Sledge, you will not be forgotten.
Thanks for keeping it alive man, not too far off from OC here
I read that book, too. It is amazing. It has led me to read other books written by the veterans of the Pacific Campaign.
Great book - always wanted 2 read it & finally did.
I know eugene’s son. He’s a huge civil war buff like myself and we go to mobile once a month for the Mobile CW round table. The sledges are an awesome family.
I have had in my possession for many years a letter written by a marine pastor to my cousin's mother who was killed on Okinawa on May 9. The somber note describes how her son was killed during the battle from a sniper's bullet. Recently I discovered the book "with the old breed" written by Mr. Sledge. On page 231 in my copy he briefly describes the assault against Awacha Ridge by Company K where my cousin was killed and reading that in his book it has connected me with a better concept of the awful, life ruining event. If all those brave men only ask to be respected and remembered, I shall not forget their sacrifice.
A salute to my old friend John Thomas Burns a member of the old breed who fought on Peleliu with the 1st Marines at the age of 17. It was an honor to have known him. RIP old war horse... you were the greatest Patriot I have ever known.
My Dad fought here and Tarawa before he turned 20. None of these Marines came home without nightmares.
did he know Jim Hubbard who was at both places with Marines.
@@ozzyoswald7434 He could have, Dad passed in '87
@Tim Cantrell SO MANY DID IT'S SO SAD
My Dad is center screen at 6:53. He's the one with the molotov cocktail. What unit was your dad? I can't find a reference to a unit that fought at Tarawa and Pelieu. My Dad also fought at Tarawa.
I was in the USMC Infantry and served in Iraq in 2003 and 2004. Your dad is a badass.
My Uncle ... Labin Foster was MIA on the island and never found. God bless you Unc! God bless all of our servicemen!
Your uncle? How old are you? 80?
He ended up as sushi

Nelson Jackson why does he have to be 80? Lmao, his mom could be 10 years younger than her brother, and then didn’t have her kid until she was 30, OP would be like 50’s

These men are the real deal. We owe them and many others like them a tremendous debt of gratitude.
And we show that by wilfully throwing away are freedoms, identity and culture. You should check out why the germans started that war because they said there was an international communist conspiracy to control the world and today we call that the NWO. I am ashamed of all those that suffered in ww2 because apart from the communists all other deaths were in vain.
Lord bless you boys, living and dead, no better deed than to lay down your life for your fellow man. We thank you.
As the days of Noah Live right stupido!!
Your response needs no answer if your so ignorant to even ask a question like that. Pray you never have to be in the situation these brave men were in......on both sides.
How disrespectful to call a man stupido and you know nothing about them. Just shows you what you are by your own comment.
Yes, you have heard it said that.........and Christ showed a better deed than that. He laid His life down for His enemies. Truly brave and courageous men on both sides.
sailor soul 👈🏼 Another piece of trash.
My Dad was a 18 year old US Navy Hospital Corpsman on Tarawa and Pelilu.He was involved in all the major battles in the Pacific.
Needless to say,he had a very strong dislike for the Japanese until the very end of his days. I grew up hearing his stories and made sure that I never forgot them.
I think the Japanese were the most fanatical and brutal at the time. Even more than the Germans.
Corpsmen are gods to marines, I can say that from experience.
Impossible for him to hsve been involved in every battle. Bullshtter
Respect to the camera crew. They are in the thick of it at the front line, along with those brave marines.
The Yamato people are all Japanese, a family connected to Emperor Jimmu.
It's proof. Hakko Ichiu means that the world is like a family.
This shows the fundamental principle of the international order, and the international order to date has been a weak and strong diet.
A strong country exploits a weak country. However,
Ichiu, the order of the family, does not mean that the strongest patriarch exploits the weakest family!
A home is a system in which strong people work for weak people.
The strongest country in the world is the weak country, the system that he does working for the weak people
When it is possible, the world will be peaceful for the first time. Japan is the strongest, and
The Greater East Asia Co-prosperity Area is united with the heart that gave birth to the heaven and earth.
It was a battle to win racist excretion and fair trade
Proud Japanese who fought in the Greater East Asia War!

The indiscriminate bombing of the Hawaii attack

Peleliu ~ one of the most Important Battles in history. Peleliu taught the US Marines and Navy A LOT about Island battles. The Japanese fought very differently and showed 'new' techniques and abilities like not before. GOD Bless All who Serve, Served, and their famileis and loved ones! Be Safe out there. Peace & Health ~ Amen
It was actually a totally pointless battle. Do some reading.
@@josephaulisio9281 Had to remove the enemy forces on the way to homeland Japan. So, sad, tragic, horrid, but needed. Be Well. Thanks for reply.
May God Bless all those who served and sacrificed for freedom on that day. All our vets are our guardians of that precious right.
The U.S. Army was there also giving a tremendous support role for the Marines main body. Respect for all.
The army fought many battles in the pacific. Never get any credit for it, seems their role in Europe over shadowed what they accomplished in the pacific
Its really hard to wrap my head around how big WW2 was. There was even fighting in north Africa and the Middle East.
My grandfather was a member of the 81st, 323rd Infantry, Co. F. What these men went through and saw, can never be fully quantified.
@@romegavadquez6310 true. The Army played a massive role in the Pacific, right alongside the Marines. But the European War took precedence in the eyes of the world.
@@romegavadquez6310 yes they did, my Father was in the 1st Marine Division and fought along side many Army soldiers on Pelielu and Okinawa. He never had anything bad to say about the Army, he welcomed them as Brothers trying to attain Victory.
The planers said it was a 2 or 3 day job. Most of the press decided to stay on board the ships.
Turns out it took 73 days of extremely hard fighting. The best personal account by far is a book by Eugene Sledge, WITH THE OLD BREED. This is the best account of what it was like to be a young Marine fighting the Japanese. His story was used in the Ken Burns documentary
" THE WAR", also his book was used in making the miniseries
"THE PACIFIC". A must read for anyone who wants to know what it was really like.
I'm reading it now, 1st day, just landed.
My dad was in the 1st Marine Division he was a forward Observer mortar crew , I have pictures he took September 15th through the 19th 1944 at bloody nose Ridge lost most all his Marine buddies paulu was 125 degrees in the shade he said, there was nowhere safe .one of the pictures he took at a block house where he was evacuating wounded with a marine named red, his friend got killed after my father took the picture. My father then went back up the hill and the corsairs were dropping napalm so close to him the heat burn his eyebrows.. years after the war when he was dying from the mental torment and the shrapnel he carried in his stomach he said put me in Arlington with my buddies . I should have died with them 40 years ago.. that generation of Marines were called the breed ,I hope they will never be forgot.
✌️🇺🇸 Yes ...I do hope and pray that all of the Brave men... That fought for Our Freedom....Will Never Be Forgotten. My Father is also 1st Marine Division....First wave to land at Guadalcanal and then at Okinawa. 1942-46. He passed away in 1996. I am now 73 and I miss him everyday. 💞 Love and Peace to All Our Brave Veterans...Never to Be Forgotten.💞🇺🇸💙✌️
My Father was also there.
I don't think he ever really left that island.
He took his own life in 2005.
That island was one of the reasons.

These guys were from the generation that grew up tough, because they had to. As kids, they seen the effects of the depression on society, and either became strong or died. I thank every one of these brave men for their
commitment to their Country, and they didn't whine as most do today.

Peleliu was an especially vicious battle. One of my uncles was killed on Peleliu ,15 September, 1944. He was in A Company, 1st Battalion, 5th Marines. Family never received any details on how he was killed.
That must be brutal
His NCO and 1st LT probably died as well, so no one left to explain what happened. Brutal fighting.
My grandfather fought there as well, with the Army's 81st Wildcats.
I am grateful for the sacrifice of your uncle. The hell he must have fought in. A huge chunk of our great nation died with those young men who so heroically fought in the Pacific Islands
You all prolly dont give a shit but does someone know a method to get back into an Instagram account..?
I was dumb forgot my account password. I would appreciate any help you can offer me.
A salute to my late friend Joe Boterf who landed on Peleliu in the first wave with 1/5. Which company I don’t know but he was one of five able to walk off the island 24 hrs later. I will not forget.
My uncle was in A/1/5. Lost his life, 15 Sept. 1944. Your friend had an angel in his pocket.
His company commander wrote a little known and out of print book called Coral Comes High. You can get most anything printed now
Shigeru Mizuki is a Japanese ww2 veteran who sadly passed away. He was a famous comic author and there is a comic that shows his experiences during ww2. He fought somewhere in the New Great Britain campaign
yes New Britain was very deadly. RIP to your friend Shigeru Mizuki
If u think you've got ball's..... these guys had ball's of steel
I've watched a lot of documentaries about beach landings in WW II in the Pacific and in Europe, and they always seem to tell the sme basic story - the allies use air craft with bombs and machine guns, they shell for days before the landings with ships and / or artillery, and then the landings get off to a bad start because all of the preparatory shelling and bombing was mainly ineffective.
Different reasons entirely for these two theaters though. In Europe, pre-landing bombardments were obscured by typical western European weather patterns, and bombers who missed open targets. In the Pacific, they relied MUCH more on the Navy and Marine pilots. Their bombardments were executed excellently, but the Japanese hid underground, so anything thrown at them would not be able to break through.
My grandfather was aboard a hospital ship, the Samaritan, which came into Pelau to collect injured.
My Dad was in the 1st Marine Division, 1st Tank Battalion. He was not in a tank at Peleliu but carried a backpack radio. I'm pretty sure he landed at White Beach. There is a quick scene at 3:33 which shows a radio operator, but I'm not sure if it's Dad, maybe someone else. My Mom says he had many nightmares after he returned from the war.

Always look for Harry pelecioni he stepped on a Japanese grenade to save his friends lost half his foot and that's what got him sent home finally. But not on this day he had a few more islands he had to visit first.
Mcaurther should have been court martialed for insisting for this, we had complete air superiority and could have by-passed this like other islands!
MacArthur had nothing to do with the invasion of Peleliu. Operation Stalemate was devised exclusively by the Navy and was insisted by Nimitz. MacArthur only gets the blame because it became part of the joint Army/Navy plan to liberate the Philippines, but the Palau Islands were going to be invaded regardless of the US strategy in 1944.
It’s sad how we don’t hear about this in school history. This was the bloodiest battle.
Pelelui and Okinawa
Hay defile
Schools don't have the time to discuss every WWII battle. There were so many battles going on it would take an entire school year just to discuss the war and all the battles in the Pacific. The war in Europe would take another entire school year to cover. World War Two is something people have to learn on their own. Information is out there.....more and more old military footage is being released and it can be purchased. The library is a great source of war information...One should never rely solely on the internet. There have been a great number of books written by marines, soldiers and survivors of WWII and their stories are priceless. You have to take the initiative to find out things for yourself. School is only going to cover a fraction of the war....usually D-Day.
The bravery and sacrifice on both sides is immeasurable. The only good war is NO war.
Sooooo, how would you have defeated Nazis or slavery. Negotiate.? Treaty? League of Nations? U.N.
Well this country wouldn’t exist if it wasn’t for a war.

I don't think there was one battle was worse than another in the Pacific theater. Peleliu, Okinawa, Guadalcanal, Iwo Jima...If you made it off any of the islands alive you were one of the lucky ones!
To be fair, there were "easy" battles in the Pacific. You just don't hear about them because the bigger battles will always produce more casualties.
You should read more.

@AGENT 47 Peleliu is is the Palau Island chain
My great great uncle Claude served here!
@sailor soul 😂
This Battle was in '44--PELELIU is one of several Islands in the Palau Island Group. Adm Halsey tried to talk Nimitz & McArthur into Bypassing this Island. They Said NO.
Actually, Nimitz wanted to give it a miss.
MacArthur had no say one way or the other. It was the Navy's operation and Nimitz's call. In fact, MacArthur, for his part, heeded Halsey's advice and advanced the invasion date of the Philippines. Nimitz, however, insisted that Operation Stalemate II move forward because he claimed it was too late to call it off; no doubt encouraged by intelligence that Peleliu and Angaur were not heavily defended.
The men at the airfield aren't engineers but U.S. Navy Seabees. This unit was only formed up in Dec of 1942, but they are the one's whom paved the seven road's to Victory. Best kept secret of WW II.
To make matters even worse for the Marines, adequate water rations were not made available. Lots of guys dropped from heat exhaustion and worse- heat stroke. Somebody high ranking in the quartermaster corps should have been court-marshaled.
hans granheim your too right , supply is vital, and water in this part of the world should have been #1 priority, this whole battle kicked off with that most important aspect falling by the way side. This factor also falls on enlisted to push for the resource to be put in place as a main stay through out the operation. We know what is said about the best laid plans, from experience. SALUTE TO THESE MARINES .
No whoever was to blame should've been shot.
Agreed. Fuck up on the food. Fuck up on the first aid. He'll, even fuck up on the ammo.
Never fuck up on the water.
Ever.
Marines said their water came in old petrol drums and was toxic. Behind the lines heroes always take revenge on the brave ones.
@@eglin32 Japanese commanders did this to their troops on Iwo Jima. Japanese defenders ran out of water,food and ammo on that Island.
In my opinion the Marines did not win the island of Iwo Jima, the Japanese lost it.

Respect to these brave young American Marines. Truly a battle that should never been fought. The generals responsible should have been court martialed.
While the world focused on McArthur returning to the Philippines, the marines were engaged in some of the bloodiest and most intense fighting in the war. For a riveting no holds barred description of the fighting here and the final islands toward the end of the war, listen to the podcast Dan Carlin's Hardcore History- Supernova in the East IV
i remember this guys commentators voice when i was a child iam 48 now deja vu
Most people don’t know it but these same Marines that fight on Peleliu we’re also those sent to fight on Okinawa.. One blood bath after another..!!!
My great grandfather was a Marine who fought in this, and also spent time in the occupation of China.
I like how both sides fought tough and determined. The US General said it would take three days and the Japanese General said invasion will be stopped by end of day. Three weeks later they are still fighting!!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

My Dad was 321st RCT 81st Inf Div Wildcats. What hell they went through.
Have you read Victory at Peleliu? It's about the Wildcats.
Makes you wonder if the Allies ever tried building a underground Transport? I know it sounds crazy and nonplausable but I am sure the TANK came off as odd at first to but during that era of War Time most of the issues had to do with being pinned down and having to wait for Air Strikes that some times were way to close to friendly positiones but I have always wondered with all the ideas that were placed in a Architects hands during WWI, WWII that came out decades later after the Wars ended their were no prototypes of drill machine Vehicles or any transport vehicle that had to do with drilling under enemy lines, surely they had to have shopped the idea around somewhere and some point. Now dont get me wrong if there was one designed and built it wouldnt of lasted long but I like seeing the crazy vehicle ideas that came out of War Plans, not G.I.JOE/COBRA crazy vehicle designs but designs that mite have worked. I will keep looking but somewhere out there has to have been a Krang transport Drill vehicle somewhere.
This has some great footage forsure. Crazy to think these kids were storming a beach through hellfire, meanwhile kids today get upset over a mean word on social media. Every single pathetic pos taking a knee for the National Anthem should be required to view stuff like this.
I spent a year on Angaur in the early 1970s. Landed on that airstrip. It was still in good shape 30 years after it was built. In this video you saw bombs being dropped by F4U Corsairs. I have pictures of one of them on Angaur that had crashed on the northern shore. Still there after all those years. It came in with its prop turning because you can see how the blades are bent back. But even 30 years later on that plane the painted insignia was still legible.
Just curious, but where did you get this video? I have seen many, but this one is indeed rare.

It is rare to hear anything about Angaur…much less to know anyone who’s been there. I lived in Palau for a while (early 90s) and never made it to Angaur so that must have been quite the experience. Your story also reminds me of a Japanese Zero that use to be on a reef on the east side of the archipelago and we use to visit it there on our boat. It is something to see, touch and contemplate on history when you visit these locations. Cheers.
@@user-ed8wc1yr8s Are you saying the Japanese race is superior to all other races?
@@losttribe3001 Would you like it in Japanese?
@@losttribe3001 Although its been 45 years since I was there, I think I could tell you where every artifact was, because I spent a whole year exploring the island and its burned into my memory. However, one section of the island went unexplored by me because it is a swamp. I didn't go there. Plus, there is an inland lake that I only saw from afar because it has such steep sides to it. I think it is a crater lake that is filled in by seawater that has seeped in through the porous limestone, plus rainwater. We were told it also has saltwater crocodiles in it. I wasn't going to prove that point! ;)
Did a tour of the battle sites on Peleliu, how they ever got off those landing beaches amazes me.

Amazing what young men are required to do for presidents, emperors, and fuhrers. The recruiters never told us about this.
A lot of non-Peleliu footage mixed in. Some of the beach clips were genuine. I've been there and you can recognize the southern and northern points that bounded the landing beaches. At the time most of the vegetation had been stripped off by naval gunfire. Today the big Japanese three strip landing field has been reduced to one narrow landing strip by the jungle having swallowed up everything once again. Pre landing pictures taken from submarine did not reveal the interior ridges of the Umbrogol Mountains where the Japanese had most of their defenses. The Marines as usual bulled straight ahead suffering huge casualties. Col Chesty Puller butchered his First Marine Regiment until his men were spent and nearly combat ineffective. He refused to allow an Army regiment afloat as the landing reserve to take over for his unit due to his pride. A lot of men died needlessly because of it. The Amphibious force commander finally had to step in and order the First Marines be relieved. Puller then got kicked stateside and did not have another combat command again until Korea.
The whole landing was unnecessary. It was planned to secure the eastern flank of the Philippine Invasion. Which was launched earlier than expected. MacArthur and his commanders recommended that the landing be canceled as no longer necessary. Adm Nimitz and the Marine commanders refused and went ahead anyway resulting in the wrecking of the 1st Marine division. It took months of rebuilding before it was used again in 1945 in the Okinawa landing.
In defense of the Navy, an amphibious landing is planned months in advance and convoys and troop deployments are a delicate orchestrated dance. Scrapping the landing would have left ships loaded that were due to be used in other places and troops were embarked with no where to go or return to. So it would have played havoc with other up coming operations. Sad, but a lot of men lost there lives and were maimed and crippled for nothing. The Palau Islands immediately after capture were essentially a backwater. The war moved 700 miles west and was already over 1000 miles north when Saipan was captured three months earlier.
RVA: I think they are throwing WP (white phos grenades.) Molotovs have no explosive content unless they hit a hard surface; and only then no real explosive, just smoke and flame.
Flames pull the oxygen out of Bunkers and suffocate the occupants.Ask the Germans.
I'm from Peleliu, Palau 🇵🇼🙏
God bless the Marines. Toughest soldiers in the world
I’m making a documentary about a man who fought in the Philippines. Been looking all over for footage like this? Where did you find it? Is it public domain? Thanks!!
Energa bomb fired of the top of the m rifle right on the Lased scene. Grenade
Interesting shot of a Black soldier on the front lines ...a rare but documented occurence in the Pacific and European theatre....which on Tarawa and Peleliu happened when the stretcher bearers became targets and fought back .
they made them front.a japanese surviver said.his name is Hirosi Funasaka.
always wondered why that they didn’t keep shelling from the ships until the soldiers landed
they tried that in WW1 it does not work
They tried but the Japanese hid underground
They did, they actually shelled further inland as the Marines moved forward. The Japanese had in limestone caves, and tunnels, rendering the shelling useless.
We didn't have bunker busters back then.
"Danger Close" with a 16" shell is about a mile.
This was worse than Vietnam , I thought it was bad but war is war people killing each other and we haven't learned a single thing...........
The Japanese fired artillery from the opposite side of the hills and mountains and measured everything so they wouldn't have to do it during battle.
Poor brave bastards and the worst thing was there was no need to invade it had no strategic significance after MacArthur invaded the Philippines. Semper fi you American warriors respect from the uk 🇺🇸🇬🇧
7:22 "Move that way"!!.
At 00:58 you can clearly see that Marine yelling "Get up and move that way!"
Cool
Years ago I watched a color video of this battle that ran over 30 miniutes and showed the pocket in color from the air . Have not seen it since
Does anybody have that video ??
There may never be a war like this again. Hopefully.
The Marine Corps is currently preparing for a war just like this as we speak. The Marine Corps is restructuring more than any time since WWI from what I've learned.
No war will ever be fought like this again...not with today's weaponry. A few buttons to press...and, it's game over.
Imagine all the story’s we never get to here because they died on the island 🏝️!
Where did the color footage of the Japanese defenders come from? Is it just stock footage of other places used to fill in for example? Did Sony Pictures have a presence there?
I have DVD Box set on pasific tv series🙂⚔🇫🇮
*Lest we forget.*

Los japoneses lucharon 10@1... mostraron valor y profesionalismo, sólo con la bomba atómica lograron una rendición condicional. Saludos desde Argentina.
I know no one cares about things like this now a days, but I was showing how to hunt and trap, because of one of these man.
I am 13 years old and from Egypt, even though I am not American I still love learning about what those brave men did that day. Over the past 2 years, I have been putting time and effort into learning about the great sacrifice all these men made.
In this video on Palau and one on Peleliu I saw the same black soldier. Obviously it was cut from a video and not specific to a particular battle. It would have been nice in those days if we would have recognized blacks for their contribution to the war. I wonder if he was there as a medic , stretcher bearer or supply? There were black medics on DDay in France.
FROM A 75 YEAR OLD 0311 MARINE THAT SERVED IN VIETNAM TWICE. THE CORPS IS THE CORPS AND THE CORPS WILL ALWAYS BE THE CORPS! SEMPER FI TO ALL MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS THAT CAME BEFORE ME AND THE MARINES THAT HAVE CAME SINCE!
Semper Fi Devildog!
🇺🇸💙✌️ Semper FI ....Love and Peace To All Of Our Brave Veteran's.💞 Never to Be Forgotten. Thank you for your Service to Our Country.🇺🇸✌️
Not sure if you're still on here but my grandfather served in Vietnam from 67-72 air cav. He passed due to cancer from the chemical's he got exposed to in the war back in '11. Respect to you as well it was a nasty war from what he told me and you guys never got the respect you deserved when you came home
Nelson Jackson I’m sorry for your loss 🙏🏻❤️
CORPS WILL KEEP BRINGING "DEMOCRACY"
Minor technical point: this is not a "rare" color film. This footage was all shot in B&W and was digitally colorized in the early 1990's.
Thats a different kind of horror than d day
Colorized film.Nothing but old black and white.
How did the camera survive?
I’ve watched some of the identical scenes from the invasion of Saipan.
6:50: Where the Marines throwing molotov coctails?
Probably from the petrol drums that should have had water!
Yes. Cocktails, flamethrowers, and napalm were the mainstay in this hell hole
1:13 the man was shot at the back. Rare footage of ww2 seeing a man being actually shot.
El Arab Y. Mirati lol no
not very rare i have seen better just keep watching documentaries
This is not color this is colorized.
Dude at 58-59 seconds yells “Get up and move that way!”
5:00; 77th inf.division.
The 81st were the ones that fought on Anguar and Peleliu.
@@stanstenson8168
I know that the 81st known as the Wildcats fought on both islands.Watch in minute 5, the helmets of the soldiers:The Liberty statue is drawn.
@@anibalcesarnishizk2205 You're right. So that shot isn't at Palau at all. Looking at the island in the background, it doesn't even look like it. Good catch.
Much of that footage is NOT Peleliu. Mainly Saipan, Guam and other areas.
Why couldn’t the air power remove the beach threat before marines landed?
Fortifications were too strong.
Beach defenses were either way too strong in some areas or generally impossible to say in others. Along several points, most notably on the northern most beach and southern most beach were promontories with several thick-walled concrete bunkers, impossible to see from above and barely visible on the ground level. Other defenses were no more than several machine gunners in ditches, screened by foliage.
Damn
