If you can find a copy of the book "Death Is Lighter Than A Feather" it gives a pretty good idea of what Operation Olympic might have been like.

It was published in the early 70s if my memmory does not fail me. Sorry I don't remember the authors name.

Or just read about the battle for Okinowa, I reckon if you multiplied that be say 10 or 20 times you might be close.

Thanks . . . I'll look into it, although my "to read" book list is starting to look like a book. ;^)

Death is Lighter than a Feather by David Westheimer

I've been trying to get a hold of that book for years. It's out of print but was supposed to be re-issued. Haven't heard yet if it was or not.
