Operation Iceberg
In this historic battle, Japan's IJN and IJA are thrown against both British Naval and American Naval and Army forces as they execute Operation Iceberg. The capture of Okinawa was part of a three-point plan the Americans had for winning the war in the Far East. Okinawa was to prove a bloody battle even by the standards of the war in the Far East but it was to be one of the major battles of World War Two.
