The terrors of World War II
On April 11, 1880, the renowned U.S. Army General William T. Sherman addressed a crowd of 10,000 graduates from the Michigan Military Academy with three powerful words: "War is Hell." These words succinctly captured the complexities of this dark subject—death, destruction, bullets, exploding shells, screams, and the silence of the dead—all epitomizing hellish horrors. In Dante Alighieri's 14th-century epic poem, "The Divine Comedy," the underworld was depicted as nine concentric rings, and as one delved deeper into this spiral of damnation, the terrors intensified. If war is truly akin to hell, and Dante's circles provide a model, then the Battle of Ramri Island belongs in the ninth and most nightmarish circle, also known as the Ramri Massacre.
