What Iwo-Jima Looks Like Today

these are sounds and words of the bloodiest battle in history for this is the conquest of Iwo Jima listen to these sounds and these words they're still black with planes hovering back and forth over that Ridge so we've seen other thing going down on Australian run up near the western side of the ridge a little bit too far away for you to hear it these planes are giving the kind they deserve however as we said you can't get them for the Japanese out of these pill boxes with air power alone there goes another pair of rockets all right [Music] hey this is difficult to describe as we go to a small black man it's very different the speed people so we were able to go right in and drop the ramp on the handle of just uh off the power of our ship as they'll rample down for these marines stretched out the cover behind those chairs we told you about earlier and also we'll defend lying on stretcher to some not on stretches waiting for hey to be given them and waiting to be evacuated of the hospitals are lying that's our acceleration and mortar fire without one but hundreds of men brought China behind those Terraces and not won the hundreds of wrecked machines a couple of wrecked tanks amtraks all sorts of equipment got to roll around Helen Keller uh excited it's difficult to describe typical of what's going on there this morning and that is a fairy of five difficult tough fights the Japanese just a while ago just before he started on the air the Japanese foreign in such a northern latitude while the temperature probably isn't much below 65. it still is very chilly but you're not used to that kind of weather it makes you particularly nasty at night trying to catch a little bit of sleep in between quarter bursts many of our men slept despite mortar fire many slept forever because of it but the conquest of evil was completed after 26 days of the toughest fighting in history when the Marines took ewo the anime knew the end was near the end was near and Iwo was out
