Terrible Price For Victory Why The Battle of Iwo Jima Was so Deadly ( Documentary)

Support Real Time History on Patreon: The battle of Iwo Jima in 1945 was one of the most brutal battles of the WW2 Pacific Campaign. The small volcanic island of Iwo Jima had an important strategic position for the US military. But the Japanese Army had learned how to defend in previous hard fought battles on other islands like Guam, Peleliu or Guadalcanal.
