On Okinawa alone, the body count of Japanese came to 107,000 men and
11,000 prisoners of war. Another 25,000 men were apprently killed and
sealed in caves. The Japanese had lost 7,800 aircraft in the
concentrated attacks on the island and its environs or ten times as many
as the Americans, but the American casualties in the taking of Okinawa
alone had been heavy: about 75,000 officers and men.
