Over 50 min's long in good color and very RARE. The 6th Marine Division was the only Marine division that was created in the Pacific and was later dissolved in the Pacific after WW2. Trained on Guadalcanal in Sept. 1944, they fought in The Battle of Guam and the last battle of the war; OKINAWA!!! It turned out to be the most bloodiest and last battle of the war. At the time, the troops were being told that they were going to invade Japan main island after Okinawa and all were appalled at the staggering losses on both sides. It was one of the reasons President Truman dropped the bomb because it was believed as many as 1 million casualties would be taken if it was anything like Okinawa. This is a real piece of history and we included over 40 min's of Pacific island war Newsreels with this DVD. 1st Film; "6th Marine Division on Okinawa".
