This page from a soldier's personal photo album captures the terrain of Okinawa as seen by the U.S. Tenth Army in 1945. The photographer's own caption - 'Paradise to the natives -- to us plain hell' - offers a candid, firsthand reflection on the brutal conditions endured during and after the Battle of Okinawa, one of the costliest campaigns of the Pacific War, fought across this same landscape of rolling hills, scrub brush, and rural roads.
