In this video, we go inside the catastrophic decisions of Leyte Gulf 1944, the infamous "The World Wonders" message, the suicidal last stand of Taffy 3, and the impossible question the U.S. Navy had to answer: how do you hold a wartime hero accountable? ⚓ Subscribe to WW2 Footsteps for weekly deep-dives into the battles, decisions, and men who shaped World War II. 👇 What do YOU think — did Halsey deserve the five stars?
