Japanese forces had seized Attu in June 1942 as a diversionary tactic during Midway, marking the only WWII occupation of U.S. soil. American troops, numbering around 15,000, launched a counteroffensive against 2,600 entrenched Japanese defenders. The "frozen hell" nickname stems from the island's brutal subarctic conditions: relentless fog, gale-force winds, freezing tempera
