Battle of Okinawa remembered 80 years on | NHK WORLD-JAPAN News People in Japan are marking 80 years since the end of the Battle of Okinawa, a campaign of fierce ground fighting during the closing stages of World War Two.

'Our sympathies are with the families who lost loved ones leaving emotional scars so deep that, even now, they still haven't healed. Looking at the world today, we are deeply concerned to see all the countries currently at war.'

With Yamato’s sinking, Japanese hopes continued to sink, as their enemies delivered their final and crushing blows. But their fighting spirit remained.

A long and bitter contest remained for the island of Okinawa.
