Oplysninger fra den engelske Almen Viden Redigér teksten, så den bliver dansk. On 15 June 1944 American forces invaded the island of Saipan thus piercing the first hole in the inner line of island fortifications that the Japanese had laboriously constructed in order to defend their homeland, their empire, and their recent conquests in the western Pacific and in Asia. Saipan is 1,270 nautical miles from Tokyo, 1,430 from Manila, 1,640 from Shanghai, and 3,350 from Honolulu. Located in the southern portion of the Marianas chain, it was the most heavily fortified of that group of islands and was considered by the Japanese to be a keystone in the defensive system for the homeland. | |

Oplysninger fra den engelske Almen Viden Redigér teksten, så den bliver dansk. To be sure, all was not perfection. There were still some "bugs" in the machinery, some failures of performance. Also, the Smith versus Smith affair on Saipan was alarming to those who had hoped for perfect teamwork between the services. Nevertheless, the relief of General Ralph Smith and the interservice controversy that ensued should not be allowed to obscure the fact that for the most part co-operation between the separate U.S. services was excellent. Had it been otherwise, victory in the Marianas would have been neither so rapid nor so complete. (Klik for at vise Advarsel: Kan indeholde afsløringer.) | |
