Very interesting video about the battle interspersed with modern and wartime pics. First US experience with Japanese wounded soldiers trying to kill American's evacuating or treating them. Also, the Marines used 37mm anti-tank cannons with cannister rounds to inflict heavy damage to the enemy. You don't hear much about that.
