The Pacific (2010) – The Battle of Okinawa: Reduction of the Shuri Bastion

When your playing call of duty world at war at 3 am

La chaire a haine !! A des mils!! De chez lui 😢 aucun intérêt !!!!

Hard to believe that this whole sequence (and the battle of Peleleiu) was filmed in a quarry only 50km from Melbourne in Australia.

Okinawa had a population of like 100.000 people..

A truly brutal war

I know the actors make it look brutal but the Japanese did horrible things before it got this far. Historical facts say we should have let them all burn

Battle of Shuri Castle (may - june 1945).

Poor Sledge. 1,000 yard stare. Too often, too close, too many. Okinawa was the reason Japan had to be nuked, otherwise this would have been the same scene repeated every day, except with old men, women, and children armed with bamboo spears being shot by Marines. What man could live with that on their memory after the war?

We were lucky it was the Japanese. Had it been the Apache, Comanche, Cheyanne, with modern technology, it would have been much worse….

I am japanese.

In the Battle of Okinawa, not only Japanese soldiers but also many civilians involved in the fighting died. Women, children and old people.

Do not be taken prisoner. There was a teaching that if you were to be taken prisoner, you should die yourself.

As a result, there were people who killed themselves with grenades, and those who did not have grenades cut their family members' throats with knives.Some mothers would choke their babies to death by covering their mouths.

Okinawa is a very nice place. The blue sea, white coral reefs, delicious food and alcohol, and kind people.


Would you like to stop hating each other?
Let's love each other!

SNAFU. yeah

Just imagine if Sledge meet Desmond Doss.

The next miniseries is called "Masters of the Air". Focuses on US Army Air Force. Sadly only available on Apple+.

In this scene, it's the eyes that do the talking. So powerful.

Bless our boys who fought in the Pacific, they truly did fight against the savage.

The usual heroes, fighting for freedom and democracy all over the world…

Little timmy has had it rough. First rampaging dinosaurs. Now this....jeez. uphill or what?

Don't misinterprete me but have you realized that the fighting in Band of Brothers is more civilised than the ones in the Pacific. The Pacific Theater was hell on earth.

Si son primeros y no la han visto déjenme decirles algo, está serie está echa con la historia que contó usa!!!!, entonces les diré que lo único que verán un montón de japoneses miles y miles corriendo por los campos como tiro al blanco y los gringos fisparandoles a todos y matando a todos los japoneses y verán como mueren 5 soldados gringos y matan a más de 300 soldados japoneses como ganado corriendo por los campos como tontos y locos mientras los gringos les disparan y los matan a todos pero ellos solo mueren 5, verán como les avientan miles de bombas y esas miles de bombas solo matan a 7 a lo mucho, una burla total cuando todo el mundo sabe que los alemanes les decían los cerdos por qué eran mocosos mal entrenados y desorganizados, los mismos alemanes dijeron si estados unidos y Alemania hubieran peleado mano a mano estados unidos no duraría ni 1 año en la guerra pues las palabras de los alemanes fueron estás.

Llegaba un pelotón o un escuadrón y los matavamos a todos después llegaba otro pelotón de igual manera los exterminaron y seguir llegando y llegando hasta que nos quedamos sin municiones y teníamos que rendirnos, puras payasadas que verán se los digo enserio que decepción y eso que me la recomendaron

Where Desmond doss

the battle of okinawa was absolutely FUBAR

You can tell that these marines are desensitized from the sheer lack of human mercy. Japanese made it harder to capture POW by faking surrender. Now these marines are having non of it. All they wanted now was to go home.

アメリカ視点の映画だと日本兵が一方的にやられてるように描かれているね

Bruh the imperial japanese Used Women as Body bombs... thats fcked up right ther.

To think that as horrible as Okinawa was, the Invasion of mainland Japan would have been so much worse.

After the war, my Dad hated the Japanese so much he refused to buy anything made in Japan till the late 90s. My Dad never forgot or forgave. I joined the Marines in 68, and my Dad knew I would be trained right and taken care of. SemperFi!

After I finished the Peleliu episodes I said okay there's no way this series gets more horrifying than this

and then they go to okinawa

WWAQQQWWQQWW

this is how it feels working night shift

I really don't like that actor... Not Sledge, but the curly hair friend. He looks like he's acting tired... idk.

My grandfather fought in the Pacific and know movie could ever come close to what they went through.

Hell on earth

Current status of mavelon creek

The US. Shit always shows them the hero
But are the biggest bastardsss

As good as this show was, they really couldn’t show the exact conditions of Okinawa because it was too graphic. Sledge wrote about it in his book and the stuff he said was literal nightmares. I’m not sure how anyone could go through that and be mentally functional afterwards with the constant death and sleep deprivation that went on for so long.

Nice subtle touch by Snafu staring at Sledge, realizing the young Sledge of Peleliu is forever gone and replaced by a hardened, thousand yard stare grizzled veteran.

WW2 was terrible and had many bad battles. After Stalingrad, which we didn’t fight in, I’d say Okinawa was the worst. Iwo was bad, but Okinawa was nasty.

Mankind recognizes the horrors, hardships, waste, and brutality of war...and yet history shows men never seem to get tired of it. Amazing.

Sledge is a cry baby

Salute to Japnese.
Massive respect to Japan ❤❤❤❤❤

Hitler fighting alone against 4 giants.
US
UK
France
Soviets

Other nations also joined them because of british colonies.

The sound design for the flame throwers in this show are fucking terrifying, they just scream at you before the flames melt your skin.

This in my opinion is the best ww2 movie

I’m not down playing the European war in WW2 but the war in the Pacific was truly hell on earth

What those guys went through .
Huge respect !!

If the atomic bomb wasn't invented yet...just imagine if they invaded the Japan homeland
