Скачать или смотреть 400 Yards of Hell: Marines Waded Into Gunfire at Tarawa (Live WWII Footage)

On November 20, 1943, U.S. Marines landed on Tarawa—and straight into a nightmare. The Navy’s bombardment had failed. The tide was too low. And the Marines were forced to wade 400 yards through waist-deep water, under constant machine-gun and artillery fire, with nowhere to hide.

This raw, unfiltered footage from the National Archives captures the brutal reality of the Battle of Tarawa—one of the bloodiest and most unforgiving amphibious assaults in Marine Corps history.

This is not Hollywood. This is war.
