Steel Storm: The Battle of Okinawa

The Battle of Okinawa (April 1 – June 23, 1945) was the largest sea-air-land battle in history and the last major battle of the preatomic era. Both sides regarded it as a dress rehearsal for an invasion of Japan proper. This talk will examine the battle, its aftermath and legacies. 

Presented by Christopher Kolakowski, Director of the Wisconsin Veterans Museum.
