Due to popular request, we are re-releasing our entire Iwo Jima series as one complete animated documentary! US Marines storm the beaches of Iwo Jima after a short naval barrage, predicting a simple victory. The black volcanic island is a territory of Japan itself and so, unbeknownst to the Americans, has been heavily fortified, and will be defended to the last man. https://www.patreon.com/TheOperationsRoom Subscribe to our brand new channel The Intel Report now at: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC7Ay_bxnYWSS9ZDPpqAE1RQ https://twitter.com/The_Ops_Room Music: https://www.purple-planet.com/ Top down figures courtesy of Grantovich, check him out here: https://www.patreon.com/Grantovich
