Using a combination of U.S. Dept. of Defense archive films, combat footage, and period newsreels of the time, each film features actual wartime footage and or first-person accounts from those that were there. The Mariana and Palau Islands campaign, also known as Campaign Plan Granite II, was an offensive launched by United States forces against Imperial Japanese forces in the Pacific Ocean between June and November 1944 during the Pacific War. This decisive Pacific battle began with the Battle of the Philippine Sea (the so-called "Great Marianas Turkey Shoot") on 19–20 June. U.S. forces executed landings on Saipan in June 1944 and Guam and Tinian in July 1944. After heavy fighting, Saipan was secured in July and Guam and Tinian in August 1944. The U.S. then constructed airfields on Saipan and Tinian where B-29s were based to conduct strategic bombing missions against the Japanese home islands. To secure the flank for U.S. forces preparing to attack the Philippines, in September 1944, U.S. Marine and Army forces landed on the islands of Peleliu and Angaur in Palau. In the excellent book, "With the Old Breed", Marine Eugene Sledge describes his experiences in the Battle for Peleliu—a must-read for those interested in this epic battle.
