On this day in 1945, US Marines storm the Japanese-controlled island of Iwo Jima. The five-week campaign that follows will see some of the most savage fighting of the Pacific War. 6,800 Americans will be killed; 18,000 Japanese. pic.twitter.com/Om5KyIskyj— Military History Now (@MilHistNow) February 18, 2020
