Pacific Island Battles: Saipan, Iwo Jima & Okinawa | Rare WWII Footage Documentary

Saipan, Iwo Jima, Okinawa — three small islands in the Pacific, yet they became the bloodiest battlefields America would ever face in World War II.

The rare footage in this video — drawn from original U.S. Marine Corps and Navy archives, restored in color and sound — takes you back to places where every inch of ground, every stretch of sand, was paid for in blood.

Every frame is raw truth: Marines struggling across the black sands of Iwo Jima under relentless fire, desperate “banzai charges” at Saipan, and the inferno of Okinawa, where waves of kamikaze planes crashed into the fleet. No cover. No escape. Only life and death, a heartbeat apart.

In these three campaigns, over 300,000 soldiers from both sides were lost. And from their sacrifice, the road to Japan’s home islands was carved.

❓ Why did Saipan become the strategic turning point?
💀 Why was Iwo Jima called “36 days of hell”?
🩸 And Okinawa — the final battle — how many lives did it claim before the war came to an end?

📽️ Watch until the end to uncover the truth buried in these islands — and understand why Saipan, Iwo Jima, and Okinawa were not just battles, but symbols of the ultimate brutality of the Pacific War.
