The Battle of Okinawa started in April 1945 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 WWII. Alongside, the territorial re-conquest of land in the Far East, the Americans wished to destroy what was left of Japanâs merchant fleet and use airstrips in the region to launch bombing raids on Japanâs industrial heartland.
The land battle took place over about 81 days beginning on 1 April 1945. The first Americans ashore were soldiers of the 77th Infantry Division, who landed in the Kerama Islands, 15 mi (24 km) west of Okinawa on 26 March. Subsidiary landings followed, and the Kerama group was secured over the next five days.
