Gewaltiges Blutvergießen: Die Schlacht um Iwo Jima | 2. Weltkrieg Doku | XL Geschichte

On Iwo Jima in February 1945, a quarter of all US Marines killed in World War II died; in the massive battle itself, one in three men perished—a change of tactics was unavoidable. In the aftermath, 27 medals of honor were awarded, and the photograph of the Marines raising the American flag on Mount Suribachi became world-famous. But at the time the photo was taken, they still had 30 days of intense fighting ahead of them.
