The Battle of Okinawa, also known as Operation Iceberg, was fought on the Japanese island of Okinawa and was the largest amphibious assault in the Pacific Theater of World War II. It lasted from late March through June 1945.
The battle has been referred to as the "Typhoon of Steel" in English, and tetsu no ame ("rain of steel") or tetsu no bōfū ("violent wind of steel") in Japanese. The nicknames refer to the ferocity of the fighting, the intensity of gunfire involved, and sheer numbers of Allied ships and armored vehicles that assaulted the island. Particularly note the very high number of US Casualties listed 2/3rds into this page below that impacted future decisions on the war. Okinawa had a prewar civilian population of 435,000, of whom an estimated 75,000 to 140,000 died during the battle.
