Iwo Jima: The Fierce Battle For The Island That Had To Be Captured | Boys Of H Company

On February 18th 1945 US Forces began bombing and shelling the island of Iwo Jima ahead of the soon to land Marine Corps that would aim to take the island in only a matter of days. However, despite being the most bombed place in the Pacific theatre, American troops had little idea of how well defended the island would be, with extensive tunnels under Mount Suribachi protecting the vast majority of Japanese General Tadamichi Kuribayashi's men. In this illuminating documentary we hear from both American and Japanese soldiers who were there during the fight for Iwo Jima. It's these voices that shed the light on what it was really like to be there and help us to uncover new details about the battle. War Stories is your one stop shop for all things military history.
