On a damp and dreary February 2nd, 1944, American invasion forces clashed with the Japanese Empire’s formidable defenses in a desperate bid to capture the heavily fortified Kwajalein Atoll in the Marshall Islands. The battle-scarred landscape of the mid-Pacific base was the scene of a mighty coordinated assault, as troops who landed on the outer front line of the Japanese Empire fought tooth and nail for control of the 30-odd islets that comprise the central and largest of the chain.
