Rose Post #215 American Legion, 110 • I I • AMERICAN RED CROSS The American Red Cross as in all emergencies of the past came to the front and organized their forces for their part in the work ahead, The women responded to their every call for knitted comforts for the duration of the war. If any man or woman of the many branches of the service, went without these comforts, even in the remotest corner of the globe, it was because they had no means of knowing it. They placed in the hands of millions of soldiers, remembrances of a loyal and patriotic people. These remembrances went not only to the camps in our own country, but to the troops in the remote parts of the theatres of operations, and to the Allied countries. Surgical dressings and hospital garments were furnished by the Red Cross, the hours were long, the pay was small, but they worked diligently and with the purpose of filling their quotas in the required time. Red Cross courses were conducted for those who desired to acquire knowledge of first aid practices and home nursing, this knowledge was most imperative, because of the shortage of Doctors and nurses, caused by their entry into the services of their country. The danger of air raids stimulated a great interest in first aid treatment, and in co-operation with civilian defense authorities, gave instructions to hundreds on this subject within our country. In the field of medicine the Red Cross gave valuable service, and through its many agencies, blood of millions of American donors was acquired and stored for use on the battle fields. Thousands of nurses aids were trained to take over the duties of trained nurses in order that they could be released for duty with the armed services. A woman's motor corps was also organized and trained, equipment to fit them for work behind or near the lines of battle. To all of the men and women who took part in all the work done by the American Red Cross, we owe them a deep debt of gratitude . 111 There are still signs left here and ther e of trenches whic h were used in World War I, 1914 to 19 18 a s this phot o shows, in the f or e s t s a bout Busendorf, in the Al sa c e - L orr a ine country of G e rlllAny. REMNANT TRENCHES LEFT FROM WORLD WAR I With the crowning of the King of Prussia as the Emperor of Germany, William II came to the throne in 1888, and became involved in a series of Imperial rivalries which finally culminated in the first world war, an armed conflict in which 29 nations (the allies) were pitted against Germany, Austria, Hungary, Turkey, and Bulgaria, (the Central Powers). It began on July 28, 1914 with a declaration of War upon Serbia by Austria, Hungary because of the assassination of an Austrian Prince by a Serbian, and ended with a general armistice on November 11, 1918. It has been said that the Allied Powers won the war but lost the peace because they failed to establish in 1919 and thereafter, a world free from injustices and aggressions. At the termination of World War I, Emperor William II fled to Holland in e x ile. Under the terms of the Versailles treaty General Von Hindenburg was placed at the head of the German people, intended to be a democratic a nd peaceable Weimac Republic of Germ any. But the Allied Powers including the United States, failed to give any real support to the head of the German peoples Government in its international dealings throughout the 1920's furnished the excuse for many of the communist and Na zi groups in the Reich and finally in January 1933 the Nazis seized power of the Berlin Government.

Adolph Hitler born at Braunau, Upper Austria in 1889, and because of his hostility to the Austro-Hungarian regime, moved to Munich and enlisted in the Bavarian Army during World War I and came out of this conflict with the rank of Corporal. After the close of the war he formed the nucleous of the National Socialist Party in Germany which found a ready reception by the then bewildered people. Thinking his party and storm Troopers strong enough for a march, ordered the ill-fated "beer hall putsch" on November 8, 1923 . Hitler with Rudolph Hess was jailed as a result, and served nine months in prison, during this time the much publicised "Mein Kemph" was written. After their release, backed by powerful industrialists, reorganized his illegal party. On January 30, 1933 Von Hindenburg was forced to appoint Hitler, Chancellor of Germany. Two months later the Nazi controlled Reichstag granted Hitler dictatorial powers, thus becoming '"Reichsfuhrer". His regime was marked by drastic anti-simitic measures, brutal liquidation of political opponents and an aggressive international policy. Important events included, the Nazi blood purge in June 1934. Conscription 1935 and contrary to the Versailles Treaty, Remilitarization of the Rhineland 1936. Military support of the Spanish Rebels and seizure of Austria March 1938, of the Sudetenl a nd September 1938, of Czechoslovakia March 1939, and the invasion of Poland September 1939, which forced Great Britain and France into a war against Germany on September 3, 1939. In 1940 Hitler personally directed the Campaign by the opening of a western front with 40 Nazi divisions and 1000 planes, marched into Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxemburg. The Nazis had complete superiority on the ground and in the air and in four days Rotterdam had fallen and Dutch resistance ceased. Queen Wilhelmina and her royal family had fled to England. Quickly the Nazis had control of the Ardennes and the Belgium fortifications at Liege and Namur were surrounded. The French Army under General Andre Corap was annihilated in the vicinity of Sedan and left a great gap through which the Nazi Armored columns sped toward the channel ports. On May 17, 1940 the Na z is entered Brussels and three days later was at the Cambrai-Peronne Road. King Leopold of Belgium ordered unconditional surrender. The position of the Allies in the north was then intenable, and they withdrew toward Dunkirk. Three hundred thirty-five thousand troops had been evacuated from Dunkirk to England 114 by June 4, 1940. The F rench Armies after many unsuccessful a tt e mp t s to stem the tide of the Na z is we re forced to ab a ndon any further efforts to prevent the Na z is from reaching Paris , in order to preserve its magnificent be a uty a nd historical structures , the Government of Fr a nce moving to Borde a u x on June 10 , 1940. Italy entered the war on the side of Germany thus c a using another front to be ope ned for the French to defend. On June 17 , 1940 France signed an A rmistice a gr e ement with Germany, and two days later with Italy. A bomb ed ra il r oa d tr a ck .

Hitler after h i s victor i es on the continent and after g iv i ng his troo p s some rest sought to end the war quickly by att a cking the Br i tish Isles. Thus the British abandoned by every a lly, but inspired under the leadership of W i nston Churchill, bega n its program of blood, sweat and te a rs. Then came the a lmost con ti nued bombing of London and other industrial centers in their efforts to reduce the English resis ta nce. But British production increased and the people were more determined than ever to fight to the bitter end. The British fleet was put to service a round the clock and i n a s hort tim e had destroyed the Italian N a vy and h a d com p lete control of th e Mediterr a ne a n by their Navy , the British success was a ssured. They captured about 40,000 Italians when B a rdi a fell to them a nd the fall of that city a dded another 30, 00 0. The British fighting in Western Europe was almost entirely by ai r, however in September 1940 the British Comm a ndoes raided Sp i tzbergen, struck a t German held Lofoten Isl a nds off Norway, caus ing severe damage and returning with prisoners. The Germ a n pre-occupation of North Africa , the B a lk a ns, Crete and then Russi a caused a decline on the Nazi air raids over Brit a in, and with more and better Brit i sh defense a gainst night bombing, r a ids bec a me much more costly to the Nazis. The first three months of 1940 public opinion in the United St a tes was strongly on the s i de of the All i es but America seemed far removed from the conflict. Germany tried by every means at her comm a nd to cut the supply lines to Britain from C a nad a a nd the United St a tes, and the attacks on U. S. ships caused President Roosevelt to order the N a vy to patrol the Western A tl a ntic and announce the location of any subm a r i nes or ax is r a iders s i ghted, then the Nazis retaliated w i th further att a cks on U . S. sh i pping. The U. S. Navy wa s ordered to shoot on sight any A x is vess e ls of war seen in w a ters important to American safety . And the U. S. began to arm for its own defense and for the first time in its history conscription w·as adopted in peacetime. 115 • The British by successful campaigns in Liby a in r a J')id succ e ssion took Tobruk, Derna, Beng az i a.nd by February 1941 the ltrllian outpost at El Agheila. Germ a n mechanized units under General Rommel were disp a tched to Afric a to as sist the Italians and late in March took offensive from the British and drove them b u ck to Solum a cross the border into Egypt and by American made tanks and nl a nes in November the British once a g rlin went on the march under General Montgomery r a pidly advancing · to Capu zz o and Gambut and pushed on B c1rdia. On November 7th U . S . troops assisted by the British Navy and Air forces m a de l a ndings on Vichy French territory at Algiers, Oran and the coast of Morocco A ir droznes in its vicinity soon capitulated. Spurning the protests of Vichy Fr c1nce, the Allies affected agreements with General Giraud, later to broaden to include the free French followers of General DeG a ulle for a de facto Government in the French colonies, with French participation in the drive against the Na z is . From the e a st the British Army under General Montgomery continued its a ctive pursuit of General Rommel's troops and on January 23, 1943 moved into Tripoli, completing a 120(, mile drive from El A lamein in e x actly three months. The fleeing Afric a Corps entered Tunisia , where the eastward pressure of the Allied troops under General Eisenhower combined to pen the Nazis between centr a l Tunisia and the sea. A x is resistance crumpled in May. The Allies mopped up the area, .t a king 175,000 prisoners. The western front war until 1944 was e x clusively a n air war, with e x ce p tion, the only ground action was the large scale commando R a ids of August 19 , 1942 on Dieppe, France by British, United States, C a nadian a nd fighting French units. Troops participating in this reconnaissance in force retired after m a king observations and destroying German military installations and equi p ment in prep a r a tion for an eventual invasion of Western Europe. A llied losses were severe, but many valuable lessons were learned in landing and Aeri a l tactics. In mid-May the Allies attained supremacy in the air with 600 and 1,000 plane att a cks on Cologne a nd Essen. These big plane raids continued and were augmented in August by the U. S . Flying Fortresses and by March 1943 Allied raids were credited with the distruction of 2 ,000 Germ a n factories, reducing German steel production and also gre a tly reduced the output of coal.

A switch type of railroad engine taken in yards at Rosenheim, Germany. 117 Berlin experienced its first air raid by British Bombers on December 7, 1941 while J a panese were attacking Pearl Harbor. The Royal Air Force caught the Berlin Capital by surprise on January 16, 1943 and dropped its bombs without a single loss, a raid the following night however cost the British 22 planes. By January 20, 1943 night and day bombing of Berlin by British Bombers and U. S. Fortresses became routine. Daylight bombing was developed to such a degree that the bombers could fly un-escorted to their targets, and beat off the enemy fighters going and returning. By Ap ril 1943 every important industrial center in the Ruhr region had been visited by at least one major a ir attack. The bomb tonnage rose steadily from 8,000 tons dropped in March to 15,000 tons in June . On May 16, 1943 the British with 19 Lancasters flying at tree top levels blasted the Mohne and Eder Dams, which provided a l a rg e portion of the p ower to the Ruhr. On June 5, 1940 a n air attack of unprecedented intensity and distructive power w as launched , thon sa nds of p ara troops were dropped inside France to di s rupt communications a few hours before the m a in blow fell. Thousands of heavy and medium bombers of June 6, 1944, thousands upon thous a nds of troops, supported by terrific nav a l and air forces swept forward on the Cherbourg peninsular below the port of Cherbourg. Four thous a nd ships and several thousand smaller cr a ft took part in the landing, and except for German E boat attacks, were virtually unmolested, the first 24 hours of the invasion, between 15,000 and 20,000 tons of bombs were dropped by more than 11,000 planes, the greatest aerial invasion in the air, less than 100 German planes appeared over the beachhead. The invasion forces under the command of General Eisenhower and General Montgomery, ground commander, quickly secured the beaches a nd on June 7 cleared of all enemy forces. Massive air attacks continued with the British and American pilots flying 27,000 missions in a little over 48 hours with a loss of 289 planes. The American Army struck toward Cherbourg and the British toward Caen, by June 11 the Allies held a 60 mile beachhead. Cherbourg was occupied by A merican troops on June 26. The British broke into Caen on July 8 . Troops under General Bradley broke out across the Cherbourg peninsular behind a heavy aerial assault and captured St. Lo and broke out of Normandy with the capture of Avranches, the thousands of Germans thus by passed by the Americans were trapped, and 60,000 prisoners were captured. United States losses in the first 10 days of the invasion numbered 3,283 killed and 12,000 wounded. On August 7, following an intensive saturation bombing assault by 1,000 Lancasters and Halifa x es , the Canadians first Army, together with British troops, launched air offensive below Caen, driving down the Caen-Falaise road. American forces meanwhile moved into Brittany, capturing Rennes on August 4 and Nantes on August 10 and virtually clearing the Germans out of the Breton peninsular. Suicidal resistance at the ports of Lorient and Brest proved to be a long range German strategy to deprive the Allies of harbor facilities, and Germans fought on in these ports long after the war had been carried far to the east. The Americans sent a column eastward to capture the road center of Le Mans, as part of a great circling movement, other Americans drove northward toward Falaise. British and C a nadians drove southward to close a trap on the Germans. The 7th German Army began a retreat through the gap between the Americans and the British and Canadians. By mid August the American and British-Canadian forces had made contact, and although the Germans had succeeded in saving most of the 7th Army's armor from the Falaise trap, they lost 14,000 Germans as prisoners between August 8th and 20th and an estimated 100,000 were accounted for in the battle. Meantime on August 15, British, American and French troops with strong air and Naval support, landed at numerous points on the Southern 118 coast of France between Toulon and Nice, they met with little resistance until French troops reached Toulon. A merican troops took M a rseille, and struck rapidly northward to join the m a in army in the North. The advance up the Rhone Valley was cleared by French Forces of the interior. In the north the Americans crossed the Seine River on A ugust 21 above Paris while inside the Capital French Forces of the interior rose, for 4 8 hours the fa te of the Capital was a mystery. French Partisans announced the liberation of Paris on August 23rd, but on August 24 they announced that the Germans a fter requesting an armistice had returned with reinforceinents, threatening to destroy the city, an appeal was sent to the Allies for help, and American and French forces irmnediately launched a drive on the approaches to the city, and the French capital was liberated in August by American and French troops. The Allies pushed spearheads into Belgium in early September 3 advancing with remarkable speed, the 3rd American Army under General P a tton pushed through the Argonne and crossed the Moselle River, on September 7th after advancing more than 750 miles in 35 days, the Germans concentrated their forces on the Albert Canal. The British .forced; a crossing of the canal on September 8th and three days later British forces crossed into Holland. A llied troops, driving up from the south, captured Lyons in late August. A few days l a ter a junction was established with Allied Armies from the north and south and all of France to the west was liberated, with the e x ception of some of the seaports where the German garrisons held out. The Canadian A rmy cleared the Channel coast including Dieppe by early September. An estimated 400,000 Germans had been killed, captured or wounded. Late September an airborne a rmy was dropped behind the German lines at Eindhove, Nijmegen and A rnheim but failed to outflank the Seigfried Line. Early in October, American troops were successful in crossing into Germany near Aachen, situated on the road to Cologne. After a three weeks battle, the British beleagured garrison surrendered on October 21st. German resistance all along the front was stiffening, the Allied drive was stalled by bad weather and supply difficulties. In mid November the American 3rd Army launched a drive on Metz, quickly forced a crossing of the Moselle River a nd surrounded Metz itself. In the south the American 7th Army broke through the Belfort Gap and drove a wedge to Strasbourg, threatening the Germans Rhine defenses while the American 3rd Army swept beyond Metz and threatened to engulf the Saar industrial region. The American 9th Army pushed to the Roer River on the road to Cologne, but by early December the offensive had ground to halt. Two weeks later the Germans launched a large scale surprise counter offensive, with relatively strong air support, against the American First Army in the Ardennes, hitting the thinnest section of the Allied line, they drove a deep wedge, threatening Sedan and Liege, after three weeks the German counter offensive was checked and attacks were launched to wipe out the bulge forced into the Allied line. Later in December the tide again turned to the Allies. The Allies moved steadily toward the German Capital. On January 29, 1945 the U . S. 3rd Army moved into Germany from the A rdennes Bulge near Sberhausen. By February 7th the 3rd Army had entered Germany at ten different points. On March 8th the U. S. 3rd Army established a firm bridgehead on the east bank of the Rhine, near Remagen, indicating the first definite crack in German resistance. The 7th Army crossed the Rhine March 26th and the 15th Army on March 31st. The vital Ruhr Valley was encircled April 1st. By May 1st, virtu a lly all N az i resistance ceased, the Nazis surrendered on May 7, 1945 at Rheims. 119 FALORlA, ITALY , CORTINA, ITALY. VENICE, ITALY, THE ITALIAN CAMPAIGN OF 1943-1945: After occupying the Islands of Pantelleria and Lampedusa in May, 1943 the Allies invaded Sicily on July 9th. Conquest of the Islands was completed in a month. Invasion of Italy was begun by the British 8th Army which landed September 3rd between Reggio Calabria and Catona. The new Italian government under Marshall Badoglio accepted terms of unconditional surrender on September 8th. On September 9th the U. S. 5th Army stormed ashore at Salerno. Italy joined the Allies against the Nazis on September 16th . Naples was captured in October but a stalemate developed late in 1943 along a mountain line from Cassino to Ortona on the Adriatic. January 22, 1944 British and American troops landed at Anzio behind the German positions 30 miles west of Rome. American troops attacked Cassino to break through to the Anzio beachhead but failed. Troops landed at Anzio were sealed off and suffered heavy casualties in the ensueing four months. Polish troops captured Cassino while American, British and French forces pushed toward Rome. They joined the Allied A rmy at Anzio, the combined forces taking Rome on June 4th. The Germans fell back on a line from Pisa to Rimini September 22. The knockout blow was dealt in April, 1945 when the Allies broke into the Po Valley, Northern Italian cities fell in r api d succession. By April 29th, the U. S. 5th Army was in Milan. Fighting in Italy ended on May 2nd when the German High Command accepted Allied terms of unconditional surrender. THE F A R EAST AND THE PA CIFIC: During the summer and fall of 1941 tension in the far east steadily mounted. Japan first intervened in the struggle between Thai and French forces in Inda-China, in so doing she a cquired the privilege of basing an army in the Vichy French Colony. 120 On July 25th the U, S. froze all Japanese credits in the country and with Great Britain, promised to oppose Japan with arms if Thailand were invaded. There were other indications that the war which had been confined to Europe and Africa would I develop into a world conflict, Germany threatened to take control of the African bases and the fleet of Vichy France. When the U. S. and Britain failed to divorce Finland from the A.xis, Britain finally declared war on Finland, Hungary and Rwnania on December 7, however, this formality failed to bring on any military action, Of far greater consequence was the fact that Japan in further pursuing negotiations with the U. S. demanded that aid to China cease, embargos on exports of vital raw materials be lifted and that her right to control Oceania and the f1u east be respected The U. S. refused to meet these demands and while Japanese envoys were conducting further negotiations in Washington, several hundred carrier based Japanese planes struck a surprise blow against the U. S. Naval Base at Pearl Harbor, Honolulu on Sunday morning, December 7, 1941. The raiders neutralized U. S. air power on Oahu and succeeded in crippling the U. S. Pacific Fleet, sinking six warships and damaging several others with a total casualty list of 2,897 dead, 879 wounded and 26 missing. Following the attack on Pearl Harbor, Japan declared war on the U, S, and Britain, within three days Germany and Italy had declared war on the U. S. Almost simultaneous with the attack on Pearl Harbor, the Japanese launched an air attack on Luzon, the most important island of the Philippine group, After seizing control of the air, they quickly made landings at widely separated points on Luzon, isolating the U. S. and Philippino garrisons from outside support, American forces fell back to Manila then executed a planned retreat to Bataan Peninsular. The 40,000 American troops (mostly Philippinos) were outnumbered hr five to one, but staged a brilliant and costly resistance against the Japanese forces, which lasted for 100 days. The Bataan garrison ravaged by disease, its food and ammunition almost exhausted, surrendered on April 19, 1942, Some remnants of the garrison, however, managed to reach Corregidor, the islands fortress at the entrance to Manila Bay and held out there until May 7, 1942. General Douglas McArthur had been recalled from the Philippine command in March to become Supreme Commander of U.S. Forces in the Southwest Pacific. He was succeeded by General Jonathan Wainwright, who surrendered with his forces on B a taan. Japanese forces on the Asiatic mainland invaded Thailand also landing troops along the coast. A desperate attempt to thwart the invasion met with disaster when the battleship Prince of Wales and the Cruiser Repulse with an escort of two destroyers, sailed forth to attack a Japanese convoy off the coast and Japanese planes operating from newly acquired bases, pounded the warships as they attempted to escape, In less than an hour of violent air assualt, the battleship and cruiser were sunk, the first capital ships to be sunk by air power alone. The sinking of these ships facilitated the Japanese invasion of Malaya, both by land and by sea and by January 30, 1942 the Japanese had swept all the way to the strait of Jahore, which separates Singapore from the mainland. Singapore whose defenses had been constructed to meet attacks from the sea, fell in mid-February. The British base at Hong Kong had fallen to the Japanese on Christmas day, 1941. The loss of these two bases by the British left the Japs with undisputed naval supremacy in the western Pacific.. British, anticipating the impending disaster, rushed reinforcements to Burma in preparation for a counter-offensive to cut off the Jap forces fighting in the Malaya Peninsula. Aware of this danger, the Japs had cut across 1and captured the town of Tovoyand had occupied Moulmein by January 31st. The British threatened with encirclement, withdrew early in March and succeeded in escaping to the North while another British garrison attacked the Japanese flank. The Japs steadily drove the British up the Irrawaddy River Valley, while the British destroyed everything in their wake. The overpowering Jap offensive far to the north of the British-Chinese positions in Burma doomed the country to Japanese conquest, The British and Chinese 121 forces fought a classic retreat to India while the Japs quickly cut the Burma road, the last overland supply route to China and occupied Mandalay on May 1, 1942. The Jap victories had isolated China except for an air route over the Himalaya mountains. The British pushed down the coast toward the port of Akyab in an effort to eliminate a Jap base threatening India but failed, they fought within 25 miles of Akyab but being greatly outnumbered and threatened with encirclement, were forced to withdraw across the Indian frontier. In November, 1943, American trained Chinese forces launched a push from India into northern Burma to force a right of way for the Ledo of Brig. General Frank Merrill early in 1944 and a few weeks later the British troops, known as Wingates R a iders, were dropped by parachute behind the Jap lines in the vicinity of Myitkyina. The Jap supply lines - severed in several places, thus forcing them to retire and the threat to the United Nations supply lines were relieved. While a picked army of 20,000 Chinese troops crossed the Salween River from China, a group of Americans slipped through the Jap lines and after an epic 23 day march over torturous jungle trails, captured a Jap air field two miles from Myitkyina . Within a few days, gliders and transport planes landed Chinese reinforcements which cut off the retreat of the main Japanese force in their fiercest struggle during the war, thus far, the Japs suffered their worst defeat, five divisions of Jap forces were virtually destroyed, Throughout 1944 Northwest Burma witnessed bitter fighting completion of the Ledo-Burma supply route from India to China in January, 1945 and Chinese capture of Wanting in the same month opened the road to traffic. On May 3rd the British took Rangoon, this, virtually ending the Burma campaign. In less than six months after the outbreak of the war between Japan and the U. S. and Britain, China had been isolated from outside support with the blocking of the Burma Road. In the first phase of their offensive, the Japs occupied the railroad from Haugehow to Nanchang while other forces drove northward from Canton, the captured Chekiang Kiangsi province air bases after the famous Doolittle Raid on four Japanese cities April 18 in which American bombers took off from a carrier, bombed Japan, and landed on Chinese air fields. However, Chinese offensives regained two of the air fields and cleared the Japs out of 100 miles of railroad. The Japs in 1942 launched attacks along the upper Yangtze against Changsha and into Yunman province but none of these offensives achieved any notable success. Chinese air support was increased with the arrival of several American Liberators at Chinese airfields, which turned the tide in the next Jap campaign launched early in May, 1943 . Five Jap divisions drove into Hunan province, presumably to destroy the rice crop, and seize Changsha, but were turned back. American bombers opened a strong attack on Jap bases and communications along with a strong Chinese counter-offensive which by mid June drove the Japs back in disorder. It was rather quiet in China until in the spring of 1944, when the Japs launched a concerted attack to cut China in half by seizing the railroad from Peiping to Canton. They did seize the railroad from Peiping to Hankow while another strong force pushed westward toward Loyang and after three weeks had captured Changsha, capital of Hunan province and immediately drove along the Canton railroad. By December they had been successful in seizing the entire railroad and cutting China in half. They had captured all of the U. S. airfields in southwest China except one. The bases were destroyed by the Americans before being abandoned. At the height of the crisis, General Joseph W. Stillwell, U. S. Commander of the China- Burma-India Theatre was called to Washington, This theatre was then divided into two smaller theatres. Major General Albert Wedemeyer was made U. S. Chief in China and Lt. General Daniel Sultan was placed in charge of Burma-India. Late in 1944, Major General Patrick Hurley took over the duties of Ambassador to China, replacing Clarence Goss. The Chinese with allied assistance in 1944 launched a number of counter-offensives and had crossed into lndo-China. By summer of 1945 vir- 122 tually all U. S. airfields had been liberated and Jap coastal installations were being raided heavily by U. S. Army planes. A considerable portion of the coastal area in the Hong Kong, Shanghai and Foochow regions had been liberated by the time the Japanese surrendered.

Pacific Fleet at Pearl Harbor, to sever communications between Hawaii and the Philippines and thus isolate the latter. They struck at Guam and Wake Islands. Guam was virtually unfortified, and had a garrison of only 400 naval men and 155 U. S. Marines. Guam was subjected to a dive bombing attack on December 8th 1941. Jap troops landed two days later and overcame the garrison within 48 hours. Wake Island which was a little better fortified, held out for twelve days against Jap attack. The Japanese next invaded the southernmost Philippine Island of Mindanao, and occupied the port of Davao on December 20th securing a jump off base for the conquest of the East Indies. The Japs landed in Sarawak on the northwestern coast of Borneo on December 17th and invaded Tarakan Island off the east coast of Bomeo and Celibes Islands on January 23, 1942. New Guinea and the Bismarck Archipelago were invaded on January 23rd . Rabaul, New Britain and Kavieng, New Irland were occupied, threatening the United Nations supply lines to Java and placing the Japanese within striking distance of Australia. The Jap conquest was stopped momentarily when a 100 ship convoy, moving through Macassar Strait, was badly mauled by Dutch and American planes and warships late in January, 1942. The Japs strengthened their hold on Macassar Strait by more landings on Borneo and Celebes, and at the same time occupied the island of Amboina to secure control over Moluccas Strait, gateway to northern New Guinea. They also landed 700 Paratroops at Palembang on Sumatra and captured the rich oil center before it was destroyed. The air invaders were annihilated, but the following day, February 15th, the Japs invaded southern Sumatra, closing in on Java from all directions, they occupied Timar, cutting the supply route to Java and invaded Bali. All available Dutch, American, British and Australian naval forces were concentrated in the Java Sea to challenge the impending invasion of Java. The Jap invasion fleet was sighted on February 27 and in the ensuing battle ,.of n.ival forces, the Allied Fleet was trapped and virtually annihilated . The Japs began their invasion on February 28th and over ran the island in a bitter ten days fight. This gave Japan undisputed control of the entire Malenisian area. They landed large forces on the northeast coast of New Guinea on March 8, 1942 and at Finschafen March 10th. Seeking to impede the menacing Jap advance, an American Naval task force raided Japanese bases in the Gilbert and Marshall Islands, causing substantial losses and damage. This was followed by similar raids on Wake February 24th and on Marcus Island March 4th . E a rly in March the Japs began massing transport and combat ships 125 at Lae and Solamaua, New Guinea, in preparation for a new strike to the south. The concentration was raided by U. S. land based and carrier based planes which sunk or damaged more than 20 Jap ships and delayed Jap preparations for further advances. But early in May, the Japs having assembled a huge invasion fleet, set out for an invasion of New Caledonia or the northeast coast of Australia. The fleet was sighted May 4th and the Naval engagement of the Coral Sea ensued. From May 4th to May 9th, United Nations planes pounded the invasion fleet relentlessly and when finally the Japs fled, they had suffered their worst naval defeat of the war, 17 Jap ships were sunk, and 20 damaged, including two carriers and seven cruisers, American losses were comparatively minor, one air craft carrier (Lexington) sunk, one destroyer and one tanker. The battle was unprecedented in that the entire action was waged by planes, the opposing warships never sighting each other. Undeterred by their defeat in the Coral Sea, the Japs early in June 1942 attempted an ambitious campaign aimed ultimately at the occupation of Pearl Harbor, {which could very easily have been accomplished on December 7, 1941, had they known the extent of the damage wrought on that day). They aimed to knock the U. S. fleet out of the central Pacific. A fleet of 80 Jap ships, including troop transports struck at Midway Islands, while a diversionary thrust was aimed at the Aleutian Islands. The Midway bound force was sighted May 3rd and for three days it was attacked by Fortresses, Dive Bombers, and Torpedo Planes based on Midway and pursued by carrier based planes as it fled northward, of this invasion fleet, 4 aircraft carriers, two heavy cruisers and three destroyers were known to have been sunk and ,damase i was inflicted to three battleships, one light cruiser, and several destroyers and transports. The U. S. Aircraft Carrier Yorktown and the Destroyer Hammann were sunk. The Jap diversionary fleet which staged an attack on the Aleutian Islands achieved better success. After bombing Dutch Harbor and Fort Mears, Unalaska Island June 3rd and 4th the Japs on June 7th occupied Kiska Island, 650 miles from Dutch Harbor . . In the spring of 1943, American troops landed on Attu and later on Agattu which subsequently was abandoned. The U. S. troops occupied the Andreanof Islands in September 1942. Repeated U. S. Air attacks through almost impenetrable fog, hampered Jap construction on Kiska and Attu, and in the spring of 1943, American troops landed on Attu, occupying it on May 29th. The Japs withdrew in July and August. Disturbed by the threat of Japanese attacks on Australia, New Hebrides and New Caledonia from their bases in the Solomon Islands, the Allies undertook their first major offensive of the war, on August 7, 1942. American Marines supported by American and Australian warships landed on Tulage, Gavutu and Guadalcanal Islands. The Japs on Tulage and Gavutu retreated to caves and resisted to the end, the fighting lasting one day and the following day the Marines occupied the neighboring islands of Makambo and Tanambogo. The landing on Guadalcanal was made near an air field, which was under control the second day, but the operation was menaced by a Japanese naval force of heavy cruisers and destroyers which attempted to attack the American invasion fleet the night of August 8th. The Japs were driven off but in the course of the battle the Australian warship Canberra was sunk along with the American heavy cruisers Quincy, Astoria and Vincennes. The Japs constantly reinforced their troops on Guadalcanal at night and hung tenaciously to their positions. The turning point for the control of Guadalcanal came in November when the Japs sent a relatively strong naval force toward the islands, the fleet was intercepted, and in the ensuing battle off Savo Island, 28 Japanese ships were sunk, it was in February 1943 that all Jap resistance on Guadalcanal ceased. The American Marines made simultaneous landings on New Georgia and Northern New Guinea. The vital airport at Munda, New Georgia was seized. Early in November Marines invaded Bougainville Island in the Solomons in an aim for the powerhouse at Rabaul, New Britain. The offensive aimed ultimately at the Philippines, and to drive 126 the Japanese out of the Central Pacific, began in earnest in late Noverrilier, 1943. With the invasion of Makin and Tarawa in the Gilbert Islands which were conquered after a costly and bloody battle. The island hopping technique was resumed in January, 1944 with the invasion of Kwajalein in the Marshall Islands. A month later American M a rines and army troops invaded Eniwetok, while a naval task force neutralized the Japanese naval base at Truk. Early in March 1944, American troops invaded the Admiralty Islands, isolating remnants of Jap troops still holding out on New Britain and in the Solomons. On March 29th the U. S. Navy, then supreme in the Pacific staged one of its greatest air and surface attacks in its history against the Jap bases in Pal a u Islands the Jap navy refused to challenge the attack and every Jap base was virtually blanketed as a result, in the central Pacific. In June, Marines and Army troops invaded Saipan in the Marianas Islands, after a two day bombardment and a titanic air battle in which more than 300 Jap planes were destroyed, Guam and Tinian were conquered a month later, the island hopping to the Philippines was completed in September with the invasion of Palau and Morotai. October 20th , American troops under the command of General Douglas McArthur landed on the east coast of Leyte Island in central Philippines. The landing followed a seven day aerial assualt on Formosa , A great naval battle ensued when the Japs, risking their fleet for the first time in two years, sent three naval forces to challenge the invasion of Leyte. In the engagem e nts fought in the narrow waters around Leyte and off the north coast of Luzon, units of the American 3rd and 7th Fleets sank two Jap battleships, four carriers, nine cruisers, three Flotilla leaders, and six destroyers and probably sank a battleship, five cruisers and ten destroyers. Organized resistance ended on Leyte in December. On January 10, 1945, American troops invaded Luzon and rapidly pushed inward . In July, General McArthur announced the entire liberation of the Philippines The real vampire on Japan's Jugular vein proved to be the submarine, day in and day out it chewed its w a y with relentless regularity, the effects of these attacks, together with those of the Superfortresses were manifold, they led to a general weakening of the Jap effort, restricted delivery of raw material to Japan , and increased the number of J a panese plants into idleness, and instrumental in the softening up process before eventual inv as ion of Japan proper. On August 5, 1945, the Un i ted States dropped their first Ptomic Bomb on Hiroshima, this the most deadly weapon ever invented by m a n, almost completely obliter a ted the entire city of appro x imately 18 0,000 inh a bitants, this bomb was set to explode above the surface of the ground, and not only caused havoc from the force of the e x plosion, but the intense heat set up from the explosion of the atom, caused everything to burn that was inflamable, even the clothes were burned from the backs of many of its people. The second Atomic Bomb which was dropped on Nagasak a was set to e x plode on concussion and while it was dev a statingly destructive, it did not accomplish the widespread damage and destrution of Hiroshima. On August 10, Japan a nnounced the a cceptance of the Potsdam Declaration, with the provision that the Emporer be allowed to retain his prerogatives. The Allies a greed to the provisio, stipulating, however, that the Emporer act in obedience to a Supreme Allied Commander. To this post General Douglas Mc- Arthur w a s appointed on Pugust 14, the day ending the hostilities of World War II. Official surrender terms were signed between the Allies and J a pan aboard the U. S. Battleship Missouri on September 2, 1945. U. S. Occupational forces had already landed on J apa n on August 28th. Let it finally be said that the Japs failed, because Germ a ny failed. Japan predicted the assumption of victory on a Germany victory and planned her grand strategy on that a ssumption. Japan and Germ a ny failed secondly because they could not keep pace with Allied production. They started the war with numerical superiority in practically every field of Army, Navy and Aerial equipment, and vastly increased that superiority in the early months of _ the war. 127 GUADALCANAL 128 GUADALCANAL _.. ., . J ~! 129 JAP A N OFF TIP OF HONSHU. 130 The Japs failed thirdly, because they did not possess the know how to com~ete ~ualitatively. Jap equipment rapidly became inferior to our own . The J a ps failed finally, because their high comm a nd failed. Japanese strategy was based on the assumption that the United States could be surprised and beaten before we could arm ourselves to fight b a ck effectively, they together with Germany mad.e th_e mistak~ of believing their own propaganda, that there was internal dissentlon _in the Umted C::tates and that Americans were peace loving and decad e nt, and that it would take ;ears ~o switch from lu x ury production to war output. The ~a~a_nese st~ategists ~nd technicians did not understand until it was too late the potentialities of a ir war. Like the Germans, they thought of air power in terms of an attack weapon, t_o be _used a s support for naval and ground armies. Little did they think of the machine hke precision with which the United States was capable in a war emergency a nd th e speed and co-operation of the nation with its ar med forces. 1AP ANESE SURRENDER CEREMONY .
