Japanese Never Expected American Flamethrowers To Turn Caves Into Death Traps

Описание: In the brutal cave battles of the Pacific War, Japanese defenders turned islands like Iwo Jima, Peleliu, and Okinawa into underground fortresses—miles of tunnels, hidden bunkers, and natural caves designed to bleed the Americans dry. But the Imperial Army never anticipated one weapon: the American flamethrower.
From backpack M2 units carried by lone Marines to massive "Zippo" Sherman tanks spitting 150-yard jets of napalm, the flame weapon turned rock-solid defenses into death traps. Oxygen vanished, temperatures soared to 1,000°F, screams echoed through passages as soldiers burned alive, suffocated, or chose suicide grenades over the agony.
This immersive WW2 Tales narration covers:
Iwo Jima: Zippo tanks roast hidden positions
Peleliu: Bloody Nose Ridge cave assaults
Okinawa: Sugar Loaf Hill and the final inferno
The psychological terror that shattered bushido
Survivors' accounts, Medal of Honor stories (like Hershel Williams), and the brutal truth of cave warfare that helped end the war—but at horrific cost.
