Скачать или смотреть The Fatal Mistake Japan Made at Henderson Field | Battle of Guadalcanal

In October 1942, the Battle for Guadalcanal reached its breaking point at a single muddy airstrip: Henderson Field.
This video explores the fatal mistake Japan made while trying to recapture Henderson Field, and how that failure permanently shifted the balance of power in the Pacific War.

Japan believed one final, massive assault would crush the U.S. Marines defending Guadalcanal. Instead, arrogance, poor coordination, brutal jungle terrain, and the relentless power of the Cactus Air Force turned the offensive into a catastrophe. Over just three days, thousands of Japanese soldiers were lost in a failed attempt to break the American perimeter.

Using historical photographs, battlefield analysis, and detailed narration, this documentary breaks down:

Why Henderson Field was the most important target in the South Pacific

How Japan’s complex plan collapsed in the Guadalcanal jungle

The role of U.S. Marines, Army units, and air power in stopping the attack

Why this battle marked the true turning point of the Pacific War

The Battle for Henderson Field was more than a tactical defeat — it shattered Japan’s offensive capability on Guadalcanal and forced a desperate retreat that would change the course of World War II.
