Скачать или смотреть When Japan Tried to Capture Alaska and Lost More Men to Cold Than to Combat 1942

In June 1942, Japan launched one of the most daring and disastrous operations of World War II — the invasion of American soil in the Aleutian Islands of Alaska. What was meant to be a bold northern strike turned into a frozen nightmare where the weather killed more soldiers than bullets.

This is the forgotten story of the Aleutian Campaign — a brutal, fifteen-month struggle fought in fog, ice, and isolation. As Japanese troops battled starvation, frostbite, and relentless storms, American forces learned to fight in the most unforgiving conditions on Earth. From the bloody Battle of Attu to the haunting “ghost invasion” of Kiska, this campaign proved that nature itself can be the most powerful enemy of war.

Discover how Japan’s failed attempt to invade Alaska became one of the greatest strategic blunders of the Pacific War — and how it shaped the course of history far beyond the Arctic Circle.
