May 1945 — On Okinawa’s Maeda Escarpment, U.S. Army troops of the 96th and 77th Infantry Divisions faced a fortress of caves, cliffs, and withering fire. Over days of savage fighting American infantry clawed upward against prepared positions, improvising under fire and paying dearly for every yard won. This is the story of grit, sacrifice, and the desperate tactics used to pry open Japan’s last defenses.
Using maps, veteran testimony, and archival footage, we reconstruct the climb: tunnel defenders, flooded approaches, close-quarters cave fighting, and the costly innovations that finally unglued the escarpment.
