The WWII Battle of Saipan was a conflict of extremes. This was all to obvious to the men of the 2nd & 4th Marine Divisions and the 27th Infantry Division when they landed in June of 1944. In this episode, we're walking the same beaches that these men stormed to explore the history of what happened here. We're also venturing out to take a look at some of the tank wrecks that still exist on the island of Saipan.
