Re: WWII Points To Ponder

Following a massive naval bombardment, 35,000 US and Canadian troops stormed ashore at Kiska. During the first hour of the assault 21 men were killed.

The Allies estimated casualties would have been much higher had there in fact been any enemy troops around. The Japanese abandoned the island several weeks before.

The 21 deaths were ruled as accidental and/or friendly fire.
