Week 304 - Okinawa Ends - WW2 - June 22, 1945 - S7.E28

Mitsuru Ushijima's forces are defeated and the Battle of Okinawa is officially over. However, since most of the Japanese fought to the death, victory comes at a bloody cost- over 50,000 US casualties and over 100,000 Japanese and also possibly that many Okinawan deaths. The fight on North Borneo continues, there's a raid on Wake Island, and the Japanese powers that be meet to actually discuss making some sort of peace with the Allies.
