This sketch shows the floor plan of the largest and most elaborate tunnel system discovered by Marines on Peleliu. It was prepared by Japanese naval construction troops and was so elaborate the Americans thought it might be a phosphate mine.

Thanks so much for the posting of the map of the amazing tunnels. My son went to the 60th anniversary of the battle in Sept and was able to explore the many caves.
Are you familiar with the battle for Peleliu?
