Iwo Jima 36 Days of Hell
|
|
Sku#: 002894
Iwo Jima was arguably the toughest battles the Marines had ever faced. The courage and sacrifice of the men who fought to secure the eight square mile of stinking sulfur rock and volcanic ash will never be forgotten.
Thought at first to be an easy target, military planners figured it would take the Marines only three of four days to secure the small island. But it was only after a month of brutal, bloody, intense fighting that
Iwo was finally taken. It would be the only battle in Marine Corps history where they suffered more casualties than the enemy. One third of all Marines killed in WWII would fall at
Iwo Jima. Of the 81 Medals of Honor awarded to Marines in WWII, 27 of them would be awarded for action on this island.
Step back in time with sailors, soldiers and airmen who were there and relieve one of the most famous battles of WWII. Told almost exclusively through color footage shot by Marines Corps cameraman and veteran interviews, this documentary tells the story of the battle for Iwo Jima through the eyes of those who lived through it. See why it is said that “on
Iwo Jima uncommon valor was a common virtue”
