Nauru: Top world war 2 sights (Travel to Nauru / war in the Pacific)

Japanese troops occupied Nauru in August 1942 during World War Two. The Japanese built the airfield which is still usel as the only airport in Nauru. They fortified the island with cannons and bunkers. The allies bombed the airfield for the first time on 25 March 1943 but then bypassed Nauru on its way to defeat Japan in the Pacific. Therefore Nauru was liberated as late as September 1945, when commander Hisayaki Soeda surrendered the island.
