Description: This original photo is from a collection of photos from a soldier named Jim who served in World War II with the 125th Radio Intelligence Co, 41st Division. They were responsible for intercepting, analyzing, and decoding enemy communications. Jim's photos span the period of 1944-1945. All photos appear to have been taken by him or his friends, and very well could be one of a kind images. Some have stamps on their backs showing they were cleared by military censors, and others appear to have been developed in the U.S. after the war. Type & Size: A 3x4.5 original photograph. Condition: Good to fair condition. Some of these images have dented edges or missing corners from age and their prior life in a 1940s scrapbook. Please see photos. The photograph depicts a bird's-eye view of a military encampment located in the Company area on Motobu Peninsula, Okinawa, taken in 1945. This image showcases a layout of tents and facilities associated with U.S. military operations during World War II. The photo captures a significant moment in history, illustrating the living conditions and infrastructure used by American troops stationed on Okinawa. Motobu Peninsula played a crucial role during the Allied campaign in the Pacific theater. Okinawa was the site of one of the war's bloodiest battles, which lasted for several months in 1945. The strategic importance of the island made it a significant base for U.S. operations, serving as a launching point for the planned invasion of Japan. The presence of camps like the one shown in this image provided essential logistical support for the ongoing military efforts in the region. Company area, Motobu peninsula Okinawa '45
