Battle of Peleliu 1944 / Part 1 – To the Gates of Hell

In September 1944, US Navy's Pacific Fleet moved on to the next objective of their island-hopping campaign, the Palaus islands. According to the plan designated as Operation Stalemate II, the American troops were to take the archipelago's two southernmost islands, Peleliu and Angaur. On September 15th, the landing of marines from the US 1st Marine Division on the island's beaches marked the beginning of the battle of Peleliu, which would prove to be one of the hardest and most brutal battle ever to be fought in the Pacific theatre.
