The "Iwo Jima - 8 Square Miles of Hell" episode from "WWII: GI Diary"..... This old 1978 TV docu-drama was narrated by Lloyd Bridges and told the stories of real soldiers/sailors/pilots and their first-hand experiences in battle. Archival footage and good background music really made the stories come alive.....about 25 episodes were made. Video converted from really old VHS tape.......... This is the story of the invasion and capture of the island of Iwo Jima in 1945.....part 2 of 3
This video was provided to me by the courtesy of another WWII history enthusiast from Ontario, Canada--MANY THANKS!
The cameraman who filmed the second flagraising (the color sequence seen here) was killed a few days later in a cave and his body was not recovered.
