Summary

[edit]
Description
English: “STORM IWO--- Loaded with battle-wise Marines of the Fifth Amphibious Corps, LSMs, (Landing Ship Medium), dash for the beach at Iwo Jima shortly after H-hour in the invasion of that enemy bastion, 660 miles from the Japanese homeland. Shrouded by by the smoke of the naval bombardment, Mount Suribachi, a miniature volcano at the southern tip of the island, appears in the background.”

"Mount Suribachi again. All the ships going in. I can't tell you much about this because I was still anchored offshore."
