The Pinnacle, Battle of Okinawa

The Pinnacle was the name given to a 30-foot-tall (9.1 m) spire, atop a 450-foot-tall (140 m) ridge of coral approximately 1,000 yards (910 m) southwest of Arakachi, Okinawa. Heavily fortified by the 62nd Division, this outpost to Japan's main defenses at Shuri held up the U.S. 7th Infantry Division on 5–6 April 1945 with accurate and well-concealed machine gun, mortar and artillery fire.
