My father fought on Okinawa. 96th infantry, Dead Eye Division. He never spoke of it until a few years before he died. It was a terrible battle. He carried a BAR which made him first target. He saw many of his friends and people around him killed horribly. After the battle, on a ship for home, the next orders they had was opened, it was for landings on main land of Japan. He said that if the bomb was not dropped, he most likely would not have survived that attack directly on Japan.
