Operation Cottage: The Aleutian Islands Campaign

On August 15, 1943, more than 34,000 Allied troops stormed Kiska as part of Operation Cottage. Delayed by tides and thick fog, wary troops quickly encountered numerous abandoned and booby-trapped positions. The National WWII Museum’s new special exhibition, On American Shores: The Aleutian Islands Campaign, examines the often-overlooked 1942 Japanese invasion of the Aleutian Islands in Alaska and the subsequent efforts to reclaim the only North American soil seized during World War II.
