How hot was it inside these tanks?

The aptly named "Greatest Generation;" We, the People owe them our very freedom.

Surreal.

Excellent footage!!❤ Did the japs have tunnels for cover from the arty? You'd think a couple of barrages would soften that island up considerably but it sounds like it didn't have enough effect?

My late grand uncle fought at Peleliu, Biak, the Philipines and later in the Korean War in an army Sherman. Can't help but wonder if any of these tanks might have him in it. Thanks for posting.

Just excellent

ANOTHER IN THE NIGHT IN THE DARK...EXCERSIZE! BY THE VERY SAME INBRED SEED!

This was a fierce battle that many people were not aware of it happening. Semper Fi from an old Marine Sergeant who served 1973-1977

Excellent videos thank you

What happened to the sound?

I'm pretty sure that's the Indianapolis sporting her dazzle scheme @1:08 and she shows up in a few wide shots later on.

Thought Japs were beaten for once and for all at Midway? That's what they said!

Is this what Pelelu looks like? Okinawa or N. Luzon?

Dear RUclips: Nobody gives one sh*t about your adds. Your shameful attempts to make us watch them are reprehensible at best.

AMAZING

Incredible films. Way better with no sound.

Impressive down range filming.

i see the white things flying and for a moment i think 'drones'.

this is amazing. Ive been there twice, and watched hundreds of video, but this is so well done

very well done. I have been there twice and only in july. its soo much nicer all green like that

I know I'm late to the party. However, my great uncle served on the USS Honolulu at Peleliu, and I believe she provided shore bombardment with her 15 - 6" "machine gun" main batteries. I think I can make her out in a couple of the scenes. The Honolulu also bombarded Leyte in preparation of General MacArthurs' return to the Philippines. That's where my great uncle and 63 of his fellow sailors lost their lives as the Honolulu was struck by a Japanese torpedo plane. Due to the shallow waters, she did not sink, and the ship survived to be repaired, and serve once again. Thanks for posting the footage!

My Uncle Jim landed on the Canal Aug 7, 1942, with the 1st Marine Combat Engineers. Was there until relieved in late December, early January. Besides a little shrapnel and a good bout of malaria, plus being shell shocked he came out no worse for the ware and tare.

My dad who was a navy radioman on a sbd. He was put in s marine uniform and sent on on the 11th wave. He was to set up communications to land navy air craft. That never happened and he ended up spending the night in a pile of dead marines. Also there is a little island they burn all the bodies. They called it fly island. He said he will never forget the smell.

The Birdcage is a very haunted place. Very active.

If they're going to reenact the Gold Dollar/Margarita clash, at least do it with more believable actresses.

I'm sorry but I completely disagree with Henderson Field being renamed. They should have left that name in place.

Great research wonderful narrating thank you. Las Vegas Nevada

I guess my question is, why didn’t folks hear anything about this on the radio? Like you would think that a natural reaction after seeing all the NG that someone would go to see if anything was being broadcasted on the radio. What about TV coverage?

Very cool. I have a friend whos' cousin (I think) was in the 321st. I've been to Angaur twice, beautiful place.

My wife's uncle is a marine who was in this battle, he is celebrating his 100th birthday, big party for him in September!

I ever check out the battlefields on Guam?

Axis smashers

Outstanding storytelling 👍🏼

Beautiful sound of the bell ringing.

Thankyou America, Thankyou.

I grew up right around the block from Lt. Bonnyman’s house in Santa Fe New Mexico. I remember visiting his grave with MOH citation at the national cemetery there. His body had not been recovered. The grave was empty just had the tombstone. When they found him on Tarawa and repatriated him back to Tennessee they removed his grave marker from the Santa Fe national cemetery.

Thanx for this. Really freaking out watching what I have always imagined or viewed in b/w pics. You have a big follower here in Spain🙋‍♂

This footage is incredible. So personal

Unimaginable the horrors these boys had to go through in the pacific campaign. So miss understood by Americans just how fanatical the Japanese were. Cpl months before these boys were on farms in school in loving homes getting yelled at by ma. Next thing there on some god for saken island 🏝️ in unbearable heat just trying to survive second to second. Fighting an enemy had zero regard for life .Ya think it effected them mentally and emotionally the ones fortunate enough to survive. God Bless ❤🙏🏼🇺🇸 All Vets

Horrific war away of the civilozation. No rules, just brutality. Excellent film.

I went to high school with a friend who’s father was in the first wave of Marines landing on Tarawa.

'Ohio' by Neil Young is a great song about this.

That poor Sherman 😢

My dad also was there. 18 years old, BAR assistant, White Beach. All he ever mentioned was the heat, the thirst, the cries for water, and that the coral was like a reflective oven, and you couldn't dig very far enough to get cover because it just filled the hole back in.

Overall good, but the clip at 4:46 is the landing at Iwo Jima not Pelilu
