That battle began on April 1, 1945 and ended June 21, 1945. The atomic bomb was dropped on August 6 1945 and the second was dropped the 9th. Okinawa was needed to be secure in order to drop the atomic bombs. The American naval forces assembled there were larger than those at Normandy in June, 1944, and more than 12,000 American and 100,000 Japanese soldiers sacrificed their lives.
