Victory at Sea
S01E20 RETURN OF THE ALLIES: Liberation of the Philippines
Following the United States' entry into World War II, the Japanese forces took control of the Commonwealth of the Philippines, plunging its citizens into despair. Despite this, hope remained alive, and by January 1945, much of the Philippines was freed, prompting joyous celebrations among the people as they welcomed the Americans. The battle for Manila, however, was fierce and bloody, yet the people's spirits remained high. This episode serves as a poignant tribute to the resilience of the Filipino people as they endured hardship in anticipation of their liberation and eventual independence just a year later.
