WWII E133 Khaki Shirts and Bayonets: Marines Storm Tarawa

  • Resumen

  • We just finished the brutal slog through the Solomons, and now we’re following the Central Pacific drive straight into Tarawa. This wasn’t jungle fighting, it was open beach and shallow reefs, turning a straightforward landing into a nightmare. Marines found themselves stranded, wading through chest-deep water under relentless fire. Communication fell apart, and every yard gained came at a heavy cost. Today, we’re diving into the chaos and courage at Tarawa.
