Historical Background:
In Spring 1943, US command decided to retake Aleutian Islands captured by the Japanese one year before. On the 11th of May, the 7th US Infantry Division landed in several places on Attu. In the Massacre Bay, 17th and 32nd Infantry landed unopposed on Blue Beach and Yellow Beach. But when US troops begun to advance in Massacre Valley towards Jarmin Pass, the Japanese opened fire with snipers, mortars and machine-guns. So, from the 11th to 15th of May, several US attacks to take Jarmin Pass failed because of the Japanese fire. It was only on the 16th of May that US troops captured Jarmin Pass, after the withdrawal of Japanese troops.
