McManus 2021, p. 350 estimates 2,500, Heinrichs & Gallicchio 2017, p. 95 put the estimate near 3,500.

Whether Saitō died with Nagumo or Igeta is unclear. Many sources derive their story from Major Takashi Hirakushi,^[245] a captured public relations officer.^[246] who initially claimed to be Major Kiyoshi Yoshida, an intelligence officer who actually died in combat.^[247] (cf.,Goldberg 2007, p. 173 who describes the testimony of "Kiyoshi Yoshida"). Hallas 2019, p. 514, fn44 points out that in early accounts, Saitō commits suicide alone (e.g.,see the early account in Hoffman 1950, Appendix IX:The Last Days of General Saitō, pp.283–284), and a different Japanese survivor states that Nagumo committed suicide elsewhere.^[248] Toland 2003, p. 511–512, bases his account, in which Saitō, Nagumo, and Igeta die together on a much later interview with Hirakushi.^[245] Goldberg, Harold J.

Post-war estimates range from 46^[44] square miles to 48.^[45] Hallas 2019, p. 479, fn 5 points out that most historians describing the battle state that the island is substantially larger. For example, McManus 2021, p. 339, Shaw, Nalty & Turnbladh 1989, p. 238 state that it is 72, Goldberg 2007, p. 38 says 75, and Crowl 1993, p. 29 says 85 square miles. Hallas, James H. (2019).

McManus 2021, p. 350 estimates 2,500, Heinrichs & Gallicchio 2017, p. 95 put the estimate near 3,500. In his after battle report, Major General Harry Schmidt, Commander of the 4th Marine Division, put the casualties for the first two days at 3,500, which is about 20% of the casualties suffered during the entire battle.^[117] McManus, John C.

Whether Saitō died with Nagumo or Igeta is unclear. Many sources derive their story from Major Takashi Hirakushi,^[245] a captured public relations officer.^[246] who initially claimed to be Major Kiyoshi Yoshida, an intelligence officer who actually died in combat.^[247] (cf.,Goldberg 2007, p. 173 who describes the testimony of "Kiyoshi Yoshida"). Hallas 2019, p. 514, fn44 points out that in early accounts, Saitō commits suicide alone (e.g.,see the early account in Hoffman 1950, Appendix IX:The Last Days of General Saitō, pp.283–284), and a different Japanese survivor states that Nagumo committed suicide elsewhere.^[248] Toland 2003, p. 511–512, bases his account, in which Saitō, Nagumo, and Igeta die together on a much later interview with Hirakushi.^[245] Goldberg, Harold J.

Post-war estimates range from 46^[44] square miles to 48.^[45] Hallas 2019, p. 479, fn 5 points out that most historians describing the battle state that the island is substantially larger. For example, McManus 2021, p. 339, Shaw, Nalty & Turnbladh 1989, p. 238 state that it is 72, Goldberg 2007, p. 38 says 75, and Crowl 1993, p. 29 says 85 square miles. Hallas, James H. (2019).

McManus 2021, p. 350 estimates 2,500, Heinrichs & Gallicchio 2017, p. 95 put the estimate near 3,500. In his after battle report, Major General Harry Schmidt, Commander of the 4th Marine Division, put the casualties for the first two days at 3,500, which is about 20% of the casualties suffered during the entire battle.^[117] McManus, John C.

Whether Saitō died with Nagumo or Igeta is unclear. Many sources derive their story from Major Takashi Hirakushi,^[245] a captured public relations officer.^[246] who initially claimed to be Major Kiyoshi Yoshida, an intelligence officer who actually died in combat.^[247] (cf.,Goldberg 2007, p. 173 who describes the testimony of "Kiyoshi Yoshida"). Hallas 2019, p. 514, fn44 points out that in early accounts, Saitō commits suicide alone (e.g.,see the early account in Hoffman 1950, Appendix IX:The Last Days of General Saitō, pp.283–284), and a different Japanese survivor states that Nagumo committed suicide elsewhere.^[248] Toland 2003, p. 511–512, bases his account, in which Saitō, Nagumo, and Igeta die together on a much later interview with Hirakushi.^[245] Goldberg, Harold J.
