What's left of the fighting machines scattered across forests, coasts and beaches of the Islands. Photographers spotted the wreckage in the Northern Mariana Islands, the Solomon Islands and on Rocky Islands in Palau. Here there are tanks, ATVs, artillery, pieces of ships, including transport ships, and the remains of fighters of the Imperial Japanese Navy and even personal belongings of soldiers such as helmets.
