Guam Piti Guns
The Coastal defense guns and the mahogany trees behind Piti Guam are unique reminders of the people throughout history who have found Guam valuable. For centuries, multiple nations have taken advantage of the island's mid-pacific location, and have left behind evidence of others to discover.
GUAM, EXPLORING the WW2 American assault at ASAN BEACH ???? (1944) & the PITI GUNS
SUBSCRIBE: - Let's explore two very historic areas in Guam: Asan Beach, where on July 21, 1944 the Americans landed in Asan to recapture the island from occupying Japanese forces during the Battle of Guam, and, the PITI Guns, The Piti Guns or Piti Coastal Defense Guns, the site of three Vickers-type Model 3 140-millimetre (5.5 in) coastal defense guns in the War in the Pacific National Historical Park in Piti, Guam.
Guam is a U.S. island territory in Micronesia, in the Western Pacific. It's distinguished by tropical beaches, Chamorro villages and ancient latte-stone pillars. Guam’s WWII significance is on view at the War in the Pacific National Historical Park, whose sites include Asan Beach, a former battlefield. The island’s Spanish colonial heritage is evident in Fort Nuestra Señora de la Soledad, atop a bluff in Umatac.

GUAM, EXPLORING the WW2 JAPANESE CANNONS ???? that never fired a shot
SUBSCRIBE: - Let's go visit the Piti Guns or Piti Coastal Defense Guns which is a site of three Vickers-type Model 3 140-millimetre (5.5 in) coastal defense guns in the War in the Pacific National Historical Park in Piti, Guam. The Japanese manufactured these Model 3 coastal defense guns in 1914. During the Japanese Occupation of Guam from 1941-1944, they built up defensive positions on the island. The Chamorro population was forced to work in building up these defenses, and did so here at the Piti Guns.
The Piti guns were strategically placed in a village consisting mostly of rice paddies in 1944. This area was chosen to defend the beach at Asan from a possible invasion. These guns have a firing range of close to 10 miles (16 km) and were intended for use against ships and landing craft. When the United States Armed Forces came to retake the island on July 21, 1944 these guns were not fully operational. Consequently, not one of the three coastal defense guns was ever fired. However, these guns are representative of the type of weapons used by the Japanese on Guam for fortification efforts.

We have spent already about 70 billion dollars upon our navy and we have the authority of Congress to spend 50 billion more, if we need it. The power that we now have has taken about 4 years in the building. It has been a good investment because our material superiority has saved, and is saving the lives, of our men who are paying the real price of this war, the men who fight. There is no way of measuring the value of an American life in dollars & cents but I don’t believe any one of you would withhold the loan of the price of a new motor car, for example, if you though that it would save the life of a single American.

WWII JAPANESE ATROCITIES ON GUAM U.S. NAVY FILM 74832B
Support Our Channel :
WARNING: GRAPHIC CONTENT. This film contains images of war atrocities and may not be suitable for viewers of all ages.
This 1944 film, RETURN TO GUAM, was produced by the U.S. Navy about the taking and recapture of the island of Guam. The film also shows the history of U.S. involvement in Guam, including the participation of native Chamorros in the Navy and in defense of the island. Aside from showing the invasion and recapture of Guam, the film shows the horrific massacre of the Chamorros conducted by the Japanese -- with many of them executed by firing squad and their bodies desecrated by the occupiers.
The film begins with the rescue of George Tweed, the only survivor of the original U.S. garrison of Guam. Tweed was discovered when a convoy of American ships neared the island and saw lights flashing from the island in Morse code information. Tweed relates his harrowing story of how he survived in the bush for 31 months with the help of the natives, Chamorros.
The narrator then explains that the island of Guam means much to the people of America, none more so than the Chamorros sailors on the convoy. The film, through the voice of a Chamoro, relates how good life was on the island, how the US had opened schools and clinics for the natives, and trained them for self-government.
Then, on 11 December 1941, the island is assaulted by a huge force of Japanese planes and ships. The outnumbered garrison of about 500 men defends the island, but to little avail, and contact is lost with the mainland within hours. The American people and Chamorro diaspora don't know what happened to the friends and relatives on the island.
So the long process of industrial rearmament and island hopping begins with each element being scorned by a Japanese man with a radio speaker in silhouette behind a curtain. And then the island is taken. Surprisingly little is actually shown of the battle, but Tweed is shown talking to some of his superiors about the experience of the Chamorros on the island, the brutality and torture that the Japanese inflicted on them, and several photographs of Chamorro severed heads are shown, with the narrator explaining why each was decapitated.
The Second Battle of Guam (21 July – 10 August 1944) was the American capture of the Japanese-held island of Guam, a United States territory (in the Mariana Islands) during the Pacific campaign of World War II. After the battle, Guam was turned into a base for Allied operations. Five large airfields were built by the Seabees, and B-29 bombers flew from Northwest Field and North Field on the island to attack targets in the Western Pacific and on mainland Japan.
