		The Battle of Okinawa, fought on the Japanese island of Okinawa, was the largest amphibious assault during the Pacific campaigns of World War II.
		Buckner's death, so near the end of the battle and the war, was ironic, for it was Buckner's decision to attack the Japanese defenses head-on, although proving to be extremely costly in U.S. lives, the attack was ultimately successful.
		During the 1945 battle, during which one quarter of the civilian population was killed, the Japanese Army showed indifference to Okinawa's defense and safety, and the Japanese soldiers used civilians as human shields against the Americans.
