Well before he made the Westerns for which he would primarily be remembered, director Budd Boetticher put together this documentary of World War IIs Battle of Okinawa from footage shot by Navy cameramen in the thick of the fighting.

War correspondent Ernie Pyle makes a brief appearance, only weeks before he was killed on an island near Okinawa. - Marilyn Ferdinand
