American missions against Cebu 🇺🇸 April 7, 1942–June 2, 1945 Despite the confusion, the Japanese failed to cover the beaches with anything larger than small arms fire and were unable to exploit the situation. After an hour, the minefield was adequately cleared and the advance continued. On March 27, 1945 although Cebu City was liberated, American forces encountered stiff resistance in nearby hills. On April 10, 1945 General Suzuki was lost at sea bound for Mindanao. 🇯🇵 #WW2inPH #WWII80 #WW2

Poland, “liberated” by the Soviets, had to wait till 1989 to become a sovereign country. While the world was dancing, we had to dig new graves. We know the pain of war. #ReparationsForPoland Credit: Muzeum Powstania Warszawskiego | British Poles | Facebook
