This was during the final months of World War Two. On this day, in Okinawa, the US 6th Marine Division, part of US 3rd Amphibious Corps, captured most of the Sugar Loaf Hill after several days of bitter fighting. The US 1st Marine Division continued to battle for the Wana river valley and Wana Ridge but failed to eliminate Japanese resistance. Meanwhile, the US 77th and 96th Divisions attack Japanese positions on Flat Peak without success.

In the Philippines... On Luzon, American units made some progress toward Woodpecker Ridge.

In Occupied Germany... In Flensburg, Admiral Donitz, nominally the Fuhrer of the Third Reich, issued an order of the day to the Wehrmacht in which he expressed Horror at revelations about the Nazi concentration camps and distanced the military from the atrocities.

In Dublin... The Irish Prime Minister, De Velera, announces a $12 million food and clothing aid program for Europe.
