Hacksaw ridge is a high ground spreading to the north side of Maeda Village, and its northern slope is a cliff that tanks can’t move, and even infantry units had to climb with rope ladders. In the eastern part of the cliff, there is a stone pillar-like “NEEDLE ROCK” In any of them, it was a terrain that prevented the maneuver of tanks, but the only one between the 130-meter(426foot) closed curve high ground(Hill 150 ) which located in 200m away to the east and the 135-meter(442foot) high ground(Hill 152) located in the southeast ridge was the movable slope of the tank.

Really surprised that no 1 commented. Let me just say kudos to you for shooting this the way you did, I felt I was walking there with you as someone who is fascinated by the history of war. I hope to 1 day make that journey you did as well. Thx
I wonder if those imperial Japanese army caves where still intact?
That place is so small and is like a jungle. I couldn’t imagine what it was like having to fight there.
Interesting to see how the once horrific battlefields of Okinawa, Iwo jima (Iwo to), Pelileu, Tarawa, Normandy, Bastogne and so many countless more have been turned into sanctuaries of solitude-
But it's only fair that the loud screams of those who died there, the rat-a-tat noises from the machine guns, the explosions of the countless mortars, grenades, and shells fired from ships at sea should be drowned out by the deafening sound of the silence of a gentle breeze, and footsteps gently touching the sacred ground on which they lightly touch.
Thank you for sharing this video, and may the souls of all who died here Rest eternally in peace.
