Summary:	Peleliu Island is of strategic importance to the Allies in 1944 because of its airstrip that Gen. MacArthur needs to launch the liberation of the Philippines. But Japanese soldiers dig a network of tunnels and caves on the island that protect them from U.S. bombardment. This classic program incorporates authentic WWII archival film footage and accounts from soldiers on both sides of the battleline on Peleliu Island.
