520    Behind enemy lines on the island of Saipan-where firing a 
       gun could mean instant discovery and death-the 40 Thieves 
       killed in silence during the grueling battle for Saipan, 
       the D-Day of the Pacific. Now Joseph Tachovsky-whose 
       father Frank was the commanding officer of the 40 Thieves,
       also called Tachovsky's Terrors-joins with award-winning 
       author Cynthia Kraack to transport listeners back to the 
       brutal Battle of Saipan. Built on hours of personal 
       interviews with WWII veterans, their personal papers, 
       letters, and documentation from the National Archives, 40 
       Thieves on Saipan is an astonishing portrayal of elite 
       World War II combat. It's also a rare glimpse into the 
       lives of World War II Marines. The poorest equipped branch
       of the services at that time, Marines were notorious 
       thieves. To improve their odds for victory against the 
       Japanese, they found it necessary to improve their supply 
       chains through "Marine Methods" -stealing. Being the elite
       of the Sixth Regiment, the Scout-Sniper Platoon excelled 
       at the craft-earning them the nickname of the "40 Thieves"
       from their envious peers. Upon returning from a 1943 trip 
       to the Pacific theater, Eleanor Roosevelt observed, "The 
       Marines I have met around the world have the cleanest 
       bodies, the filthiest minds, the highest morale and the 
       lowest morals of any group of animals I have ever seen. 
       Thank God for the United States Marines."
