In 1943, 40,000 American and Canadian soldiers invaded Kiska Island in Alaska, which the Japanese had taken earlier in the war. They suffered over 300 casualties.
How many Japanese soldiers were killed in the operation?
The first new player to comment on the website with the correct answer wins a free drink at their next iQ Trivia show.
None? I would hazard a guess that the Japanese had already evacuated and the casualties were non-combat related.
That was it.
Some of the deaths were due to friendly fire when American and Canadian units mistook each other for the Japanese, and others died due to mines and booby traps.
Yeah, I looked it up, Operation Cottage, very interesting.
Interesting is what we do.
None
Not one.
