amazing footage, however im slightly skeptical that they have managed to procure such quality video depicting so much detail from just one battle.

Can you you expand on who you think "they" are please. Most major US engagments had film crews attached to as a matter of fact, just not allways colour.

Wow... That didn't sound stupid at all...

That was truly great footage. Especially since it showed the Japanese side. 5/5

@R1mz
a lot of color footage was kept away from the public. It's just now being released today.

Come on now...watch PBS. They've got a whole series on it lol

man i wish we had more of these movies, but what is most disturbing is the part where the man at the front of the line gets shot and the rest keep going. shows just how brave these people were. Fight for your country, die for your country, better to die fighting then to die of old age

This is a composite of images, not a timeline or footage of a particular battle (obviously).

my next door neighbor was there on Iwo, and he always says "old age is only for the courageous", but now he is approaching 90 and says maybe the guys that died on that hell hole were better off.
