The Landing at Aitape (code-named Operation Persecution) was a battle of the Western New Guinea campaign of World War II. American and Allied forces undertook an amphibious landing on 22 April 1944 at Aitape on northern coast of Papua New Guinea. The amphibious landing was undertaken simultaneously with the landings at Humboldt and Tanahmerah Bays to secure Hollandia to isolate the Japanese 18th Army at Wewak. Operations in the area to consolidate the landing continued until 4 May, although US and Japanese forces fought further actions in western New Guinea following a Japanese counter-offensive that lasted until early August 1944. Aitape was subsequently developed into an Allied base of operations and was used by Australian forces throughout late 1944 and into 1945 during the Aitape–Wewak

rdfs:comment	Die Operation Persecution war ein Unternehmen des South West Pacific Area Headquarters unter General Douglas MacArthur im Pazifikkrieg während des Zweiten Weltkriegs. Sie zielte auf die Einnahme des strategisch wichtigen Flugfeldes bei nahe dem japanisch besetzten Aitape im Territorium Neuguinea. (de) Le débarquement sur Aitape (Operation Persecution) désigne l'assaut amphibie mené par les États-Unis dans le secteur d'Aitape lors de la campagne de Nouvelle-Guinée durant la Guerre du Pacifique. En parallèle aux débarquements sur Hollandia (Operation Reckless) démarrés le même jour pour prendre le contrôle des infrastructures entourant la ville de Hollandia, il fut décidé par l'état-major américain d'organiser également un débarquement sur Aitape afin de prendre possession des aérodromes au sud-est de cette ville, mais également de protéger le flanc ouest des forces engagées sur Hollandia d'éventuelles contre-attaques japonaises destinées à tenter de les repousser.
