Believe it was the landing at Pelileu that was held ‘secret’ till near the end or after the war before it was ‘officially’ acknowledged.
The casualty rate was enormous with the Marines losing almost 60% and the Army not faring much better...
The powers that be knew the American people would not have taken that news well.....
