19 Feb 1945 Jahr - Battle of Iwo Jima

Beschreibung:

This battle was sparked by the desire for a place where B-29 bombers damaged over Japan could land without returning all the way to the Marianas, and for a base for escort fighters that would assist in the bombing campaign. Iwo Jima was defended by roughly 23,000 Japanese army and navy troops.
