For history buffs, this weekend in 1943, the Marines of 2d Marine Division, landed at Tarawa. Tarawa was the most fortified atoll America would invade during the Pacific Campaign. Japanese Admiral Keiji Shibasaki (1894-1943), confident in his command, reportedly bragged that the U.S. couldn’t take Tarawa with a million men in 100 years. This Academy Award winning documentary also has some of the only known footage of both Japanese and American forces filmed at the same time.
