Product Description
It was one of the last major battles of WWII fought on a tiny Pacific island only eight miles square. And when it was over nearly 30000 American and Japanese men were dead. Thousands more were wounded. This is the story of Iwo Jima told entirely through the voices of American servicemen who survived the hell that was "Operation Detachment." Interviewed 50 years after the last shot on Iwo was fired many of these brave men had never before spoken to anyone about their experiences on "Sulpher Island" -- a silence that haunted them for decades. Originally broadcast on PBS Iwo Jima: 50 Years of Memories has been digitally remastered with added footage and photographs including additional maps and archival film not previously available to the public. Iwo Jima: 50 Years of Memories remains a moving tribute to all of the men who suffered through this horrific campaign -- and the thousands who didn't come home.System Requirements:Running Time: 49 Mins.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: TELEVISION/SERIES & SEQUELS Rating: NR UPC: 014381401820 Manufacturer No: ID4018IJDVD

I am absolutely in awe of the stories and real live footage straight from the veterans at Iwo Jima. WWII has affected each and every one of us in some way, whether we know it or not. And this DVD tells the stories straight from the Veterans themselves. Iwo Jima: 50 Years of Memories is a priceless historical video that should be watched by all ages for preservation of history. This DVD will increase anyone's perception of history and appreciation for the sacrifices these veterans have made for us.
Oral history is an integral part of passing on history. Through the Veteran's own words I have gained a greater appreciation and understanding of the events that took place on Iwo Jima. Many historians spend their whole life's work interviewing numerous veterans to gain a better understanding of different battles and wars. However, through this DVD I now own a piece of history! This DVD captures and preserves history. The result is a fuller appreciation and understanding of the events and experiences that constitute the history and heritage of our great nation. I absolutely recommend that each and every person buy this DVD.

An excellent history of the battle featuring first-person interviews with some of the survivors of the battle. An excellent companion for Eastwood's Epic.
