“The Invasion of Leyte Island (1944) — Turning Point of the Pacific War”

Описание: On October 20, 1944, U.S. forces launched a massive amphibious assault on Leyte Island in the Philippines. This marked the beginning of the liberation of the Philippines and a major turning point in the Pacific War during World War II. General Douglas MacArthur famously returned, fulfilling his promise: “I have returned.” The Battle of Leyte would soon lead to one of the largest naval battles in history and the collapse of Japanese control in the region.
