In one of the streets of Manila,
its name lost to history, a scene is repeated showing the
vicious fighting that occurred throughout the city. A flamethrower
squad, amidst large numbers of shell casings littering the street,
clears a high-rise building of Japanese troops. Kneeling
down, the operator is covered by two other team members as he
targets the front entrance of a high-rise building. The flamethrower
is of the M2-2 backpack type.
