Aitape
Looking at the beachhead at Aitape, the sheer amount of equipment they had was amazing . All of this effort was to fight the starving cut off Japs at Wewak ... many of the soldiers involved later said it was a waste of life , the casualties , deaths . The Japs were basically starving and done for , pockets of them held out in the jungle til August 1945 . McArthur ordered these operations . Was it politically motivated ?
