Hacksaw ridge is a high ground spreading to the north side of Maeda Village, and its northern slope is a cliff that tanks can't move, and even infantry units had to climb with rope ladders. In the eastern part of the cliff, there is a stone pillar-like “NEEDLE ROCK” In any of them, it was a terrain that prevented the maneuver of tanks, but the only one between the 130-meter(426foot) closed curve high ground(Hill 150 ) which located in 200m away to the east and the 135-meter(442foot) high ground(Hill 152) located in the southeast ridge was the movable slope of the tank.

When I was stationed in Korea (Camp Red Cloud) I took leave and traveled to Okinawa and toured the WWII battle sites. I see this video and think of Desmond Doss and how he was awarded the MOH

Served twice on Oki as a Marine and never knew about this. I’m kicking myself for not looking deeper into the war history of the island. Thanks for sharing

Thank you for watching. I”ll keep posting more history videos on this channel!

@dtrain1634 8 месяцев назад

Think it was an Army battle up here? I think that’s why you may not have had as much awareness maybe? I may be wrong but I think the Army tried to take this bit

@patrickmccrann991 8 месяцев назад

3 Marine Divisions on Okinawa, same as the Army.

@dtrain1634 8 месяцев назад

@@patrickmccrann991 yeah, I think the Army ended up with some ridges and the Marines took other bits. Hell for all…

@patrickmccrann991 8 месяцев назад

@dtrain1634 The Marines originally captured most of the northern part of the island while the Army moved south. However, due to the increased resistance and mounting casualties, the Marines were moved south and relieved some of the Army troops. Hacksaw Ridge was captured by the Army though. I think it was units of the 96th Infantry Division.

Interesting to see how the once horrific battlefields of Okinawa, Iwo jima (Iwo to), Pelileu, Tarawa, Normandy, Bastogne and so many countless more have been turned into sanctuaries of solitude- But it's only fair that the loud screams of those who died there, the rat-a-tat noises from the machine guns, the explosions of the countless mortars, grenades, and shells fired from ships at sea should be drowned out by the deafening sound of the silence of a gentle breeze, and footsteps gently touching the sacred ground on which they lightly touch. Thank you for sharing this video, and may the souls of all who died here Rest eternally in peace.

I was with 3/1 1st Mar Division and we spent 6 month at USMC Base Camp Hansen in 1983. Okinawa is a beautiful place, and sadly, I did not know about Hacksaw Ridge till recently. From an old FMF Marine in Texas 1980-1984.

Thank you so much for taking the time to those of us who can not travel there.

Lived in Ginoza as a civilian 2012-2016. Was on Hacksaw many times. Urasoe observation tower was a regular stop for me. My friends and I did speed runs on our motorcycles on Jagaru, then went to Lester Starbucks. After it closed we would take some of the Starbucks girls to Hacksaw/Urasoe Tower and hang out. Thanks for the video! じゃね!

Thank you for taking the time and effort to post this. Very interesting and not what I would have pictured.

@onemansopinion4461 Год назад

Really surprised that no 1 commented. Let me just say kudos to you for shooting this the way you did, I felt I was walking there with you as someone who is fascinated by the history of war. I hope to 1 day make that journey you did as well. Thx

I was there a few years ago. It’s just as I remember it. A place to remember, there is a feeling to the place. Great video!

@kingqbert6819 9 месяцев назад

Lots of souls still in those caves. Couldn’t imagine fighting in that jungle environment. Nice peaceful walk allowing to pause the vid to read signs.

@dtrain1634 8 месяцев назад

Yeah I wouldn’t go digging in the caves… prob a heck of a lot of EOD/UXO too

@shogomadBFG 8 месяцев назад

Thank you for this. My Dad was stationed there a number of times. One of those times my Mother and younger Brother got to spend the summer there. I'm saddened that I didn't to go.

@EvinMA 8 месяцев назад

Video is great. I know this was 2 years ago, but you really should tell us where you are walking an what we are looking at. You just can’t picture what went on when you are walking on cement on lovely garden greens.

@johnwilliamson2276 8 месяцев назад

I was hoping that you would of stopped at each of the signs so we could read about it. I was really hoping that you would say something or let us read about it as you walked it.

@mikewatson5281 8 месяцев назад

A little narration would be nice have no idea what I’m looking at😊

Wish I had checked this out while I was on Okinawa in 1969

@robertcurtis-cn5fw 8 месяцев назад

It would have been better if the person shooting the video would do commentary on what we are looking at each step of the way.

what town is that? was it there during the battle?

@LegioXIVGemina 8 месяцев назад

Naha

@okinawawalks4008 8 месяцев назад

Yes it was. Next to Naha city called Urasoe city.

@patrickmccrann991 8 месяцев назад

Much smaller then though, really just a large village then.

@jacobrodriguez1150 Год назад

I wonder if those imperial Japanese army caves where still intact?

@okinawawalks4008 11 месяцев назад

I don’t think it’s intact anymore. Rocks deteriorated over time due to erosion and caved in.

@jacobrodriguez1150 11 месяцев назад

@@okinawawalks4008interesting, the Japanese army build entire small cities in those caves it’s insane, that’s how they were able to survive the US naval and air bombings on that island. I read inside the caves were bases and living quarters. I wonder if it was comfortable 🤔

@okinawawalks4008 11 месяцев назад

⁠@@jacobrodriguez1150 It was actually inhospitable inside caves. But it was much better than outside raining bombs.
