This, I just got through reading “With the Old Breed”. The needless sacrifice of those Marines on Peleliu was brutal. Folks should read up on the Pacific. The European Theater is romanticized in my opinion due to D-Day.
The Pacific battles were relatively short battles, but they were all in battles. The units engaged fought for 30-90 days. Most suffered over 70 percent casualties. Some with replacements were over 100 percent.
The psychological impact of going in with a Company of 235 and that Company coming out with 10 or 12 of its original members must have been devastating.
