The fact Japanese never surrendered and fough till the last man is insane

[@adnan_honest_jihadist5775]

not insane rather shows how much of a cowards all other nations are

Lieutenant General Kuribayashi often fought by building an 18km underground tunnel instead of using special suicide bombs, out of respect for his subordinates.

those were not all deaths, mostly injury.

[@gregutdmglaucos3757]

American losses are mainly wounded, on the Japanese side 95% of soldiers died. 7,200 American soldiers dead, 21,000 Japanese soldiers dead (out of 22,000 Japanese soldiers engaged in the battle).

[@markusdee6136]

American non-lethal casualties can be treated because US have good medical facilities. Whereas in the Japanese side, even a small injury can lead to death because proper medical facilities are almost non existent. In almost every battle, 60% - 80% of Japanese casualties are not from firefights but from starvation and diseases.

[@ram_sankar]

The point was to make Americans pay. And it was done. It'd be even larger if some of the officers under the Japanese commander decide to not do a suicide charge against the Commander's orders, reducing the defending side's numbers.

[@dobridjordje]

God himself knows how many marines would have been killed if everyone would have listened to Kuribayashi instead of ordering senseless gyoksai.

I love how we hear about this battle so much in school and in movies, but not about the Battle of Kursk which left 1M dead.

[@empireoffrandymapping1397]

Because the Russians don’t make a lot of movies. Adding to that there’s huge amount of stuff we do not know from the eastern from.

[@ennui9745]

Since I'm not historically ignorant, I know about both battles. You could do something so that Kursk is better known. Instead of crying about it. You're most likely a Russian nationalist who's butthurt that your country's battles don't get as much attention as you'd like, anyway.
