The Aleutian Islands stretch across the northern Pacific and are part of Alaska. One of the forgotten battles of World War II is when Japan invaded and occupied two of them. The United States, of course, responded by taking those islands back. In this episode, Hanchuk takes the listener through the planning, attack, and outcome of the campaign.
