In 1945, the Battle of Manila turned the capital of the Philippines into one of the bloodiest urban battlefields of World War II. American and Filipino forces clashed with the Japanese in brutal street-to-street combat, leaving the city in ruins and thousands of civilians caught in the crossfire.

This rare WW2 footage shows the devastation of combat in Manila 1945 — tanks rolling through shattered streets, infantry pushing building by building, and the ferocious fight that became known as the “Stalingrad of the East.” The Battle of Manila was one of the most destructive battles of the Pacific War.
