This is the Pinnacle on the Island of Ie Shema just off the coast of Okinawa. This picture is what it looked like after the battle in 1945. Th
e battle for this hill was long fought and hard with over 200 American lives lost taking this hill. The Japanese had this hill highly protected , see picture below.Below is a picture of me standing on top of this Pinnacle with what remains of one of the gun implacements taken in 1967.
