The recapture of the Aleutian Islands by American and Canadian forces during WW2 forces cost over 300 causalities but no Japanese casualties as they had gone home weeks before,

Really?

Why wasn’t I told?

“…due to friendly fire, vehicle accidents, Japanese booby traps and explosives, disease and frostbite.”

I really had no idea that Japan had occupied the Aleutian Islands in WWII, although I knew the islands were part of Alaska.

Did Japan occupy any other parts of the US?
