MT. SURIBACHI FLAG RAISING COMBAT CAMERA SGT. WILLIAM GENAUST IWO JIMA WORLD WAR II 81364
This raw, silent footage from Iwo Jima includes some of the most famous motion picture film shot in WWII: the second U.S. flag raising on top of Mount Suribachi. It was filmed by William Homer Bill Genaust of Effingham IL (October 12, 1906 – March 4, 1945) a United States Marine Corps combat cameraman. Genaust was later killed in action on Iwo Jima. He filmed the flag raising on February 23, 1945, using a 16 millimeter motion picture camera which used 50-foot color film cassettes. The Marine Corps War Memorial in Arlington, Virginia, depicts the second flag-raising on Mount Suribachi by six Marines.
Genaust and possibly another Marine were killed on March 4 (Genaust was listed as MIA on March 3), 1945 by Japanese small arms fire after they entered a large cave at or around Hill 362-A, located on the northern part of Iwo Jima. Genaust volunteered to go in the cave and most likely used his flashlight instead of his camera light inside it. After he was killed, the cave entrance was covered over by bulldozing equipment, and despite renewed search efforts in 2007, his and the other Marine's body have never been recovered. Genaust is among 250 listed missing on Iwo Jima, although most of those Americans were lost at sea. Genaust received a posthumous Certificate of Appreciation from the Commandant of the Marine Corps, General Paul X. Kelley on 26 April 1984. The Sergeant William Genaust Award is presented each year by the Marine Corps Heritage Foundation, one of a series of awards to both Marines and civilian community members recognizing their work in advancing and preserving Marine Corps history. It is given for a documentary and short subject (15 minutes or less) dealing creatively with U.S. Marine Corps heritage or Marine Corps life.
The film begins with a slate identifying Genaust as the cameraman and indicating Roll No. 11. At :18, Marines survey the heights of Suribachi with large field glasses. At :19, wounded arrive at an aid station in a litter. At :30 a tank is seen. At :44, soldiers examine Japanese boots. At :56 a wrecked Sherman tank is shown. At 1;03 a cave entrance is shown, a wrecked artillery piece protruding out. At 1:08 a view of Iwo from the heights. At 1:48, the famous flag raising occurs. At 2:16 Marines pose next to Old Glory. At 2:45, a new slate is shown, Iwo Jima D-Day +4, roll 13. At 3:00 the fleet offshore is visible. At 3:10 a landing craft is visible, stacked with bodies. At 3:23 a Marine takes a break with his loyal dog, and another is shown with a cat. At 4:17 a wounded Marine is assisted by a friend. At 5:40 a huge column of smoke is visible in the distance. At 6;11, more Japanese cave emplacements are seen.

Iwo Jima - Quick Stop
Iwo Jima - Quick Stop Warning...sound and production skill is not that great. So my apologies.
First time metal detecting on Iwo To (Jima) in Apr '17. Also, my first edited video. Keep in mind that I was not on Iwo Jima to specifically metal detect. It was done on my off time.
First and foremost I want to say that I received permission to detect and what I found I gave to the museum on Iwo To (Jima). Nothing left the island. Treasure means different things to different people. To me, just having the opportunity to detect here was the treasure.
I also would like to express my extreme gratitude for allowing me this amazing opportunity. Nothing that was found left the island and was given to the island museum.

Iwo Jima, Mt Suribachi Fly Over | Views of the Beach and Summit | 74 Years After WWII Invasion
Iwo Jima, Japan, the location of one of the bloodiest battles in the Pacific Theater during WWII. I received the opportunity to travel to Iwo Jima with the Young Marine Program.
As soon as we stepped off the plane I was greeted by the Commandant of the Marine Corps, General Neller, and Sergeant Major of the Marine Corps Green.
We bussed one mile from the airstrip to the ceremony location. We practiced very quickly before stepping out toward the mountain. We hiked as a group at a very brisk base up the mountain (3 miles). As soon as we got near the top we slowed our pace and tried to take in the experience we were getting. As we summited the top, I was overwhelmed with emotion. It’s actually quite hard to explain what I felt. It was a mixture of joy, sadness, and honor.
Our time at the top was limited because several of us had to return to the ceremony to present wreaths. We had approximately 15 minutes on the top. I spent my time recording and taking pictures. I flew an American flag and tried to absorb the view.
When our time was up a small group embarked down the mountain at an even faster pace than before. The sun was beaming down on us as we rucked toward the ceremony. We made the 3 mile return to the ceremony location with only minutes to spare. Then we presented the wreaths.
After the ceremony, we proceeded to green beach. This is the location I collected from and videoed. I tried to imagine the beach filled with Marines and landing craft struggling to walk.
After our time on the beach we proceeded back to the hangar and to the airplane from there. It was during our flight off Iwo I captured the fly over footage.
I would really appreciate if you shared my video so people can see the island where so many service members sacrificed their lives for our nation.
I hope you enjoyed and please consider subscribing.

10. SOUNDBITE (English) Takashi Matsuda, Broadcasting Division, Public Affairs Office, US Army Garrison in Japan:
Today we walked around only six hours but maybe as you know my heart and my body (are) too tired, but he and, in those days, Japanese young generation survived six months, five months in a small cave, no drinks and no food, that is kind of amazing.
11. Akikusa looking at cannon left by Japanese Imperial Army

STORYLINE:
The tunnels of Iwo Jima lie deep beneath the volcanic rock and soil, their entrances camouflaged by a dense tangle of vines and tall grasses.
In their stifling heat, Tsuruji Akikusa suffered months of hunger and thirst. The bodies of dead comrades lay around him. His closest friend, Yasuo Kumakura, blew himself up with a grenade rather than surrender. Akikusa was the only one left alive in his cave.
In May 1945, he says, US troops found him wounded, unconscious and dehydrated. Out of 21-thousand Japanese defenders of Iwo Jima, only about one thousand had survived.
Akikusa, now 81, relived those horrors this month when he stepped foot for the first time since the war on Iwo's black volcanic beaches, flown to the
island for a US Army-produced documentary on his life.
He had often dreamed of returning to Iwo Jima to pay his respects and his book paved the way.
His writings caught the attention of the US military, which flew him to Iwo Jima on an Army jet for a day of filming.
Akikusa approached his confrontation in the calm, studied manner of a tourist. He napped during the flight, then filmed through the window as the
plane landed.
Once on the tarmac, he held forth on the changes in vegetation - more lush now than in 1945 - and the weather, less hot than what he remembered as a 17-year-old.
Outside the cave, he pressed his hands together and murmured a prayer for his lost friend then he pushed his fit and nimble body through the foliage and crouched in the hole, disappearing for a few seconds in the darkness where he and Kumakura endured hell.
I was there for three months and I was the last one to have survived there, Akikusa said.
Later, as the plane flew him back to Tokyo, he mused about having greeted Kumakura's spirit.
As old age catches up with the last survivors, only about 20 Iwo Jima veterans are still alive in Japan.
Presumed dead by his family, Akikusa came home to find his own funeral in progress. Then he plunged into the hard work and growing prosperity of
post-war Japan, became an electrician, married, had a child.
But he never forgot Iwo Jima, and he never forgot his friend Kumakura.
In those days, Japanese young generation survived six months, five months in a small cave, no drinks and no food, that is kind of amazing, said, Takashi Matsuda, from the broadcasting division of the US Army in Japan.
When Akikusa finally returned 63 years later, he found an island where the terror of the past remains frozen in time.
Iwo Jima holds an honoured place in the history of World War II in the Pacific, alongside the other titanic clashes of men, machine and weaponry at
Guadalcanal and Leyte, Midway and Okinawa.

WW II : RARE COLOR FILM : IWO JIMA : US FLAG ON MT SURIBACHI
Conversations
Prabhupada: Yes. Because in the material world, for the maintenance of equilibrium of the society, sometimes killing is necessary. Just like fight, war. When the enemy has come to your country, you cannot sit idly; you must fight. But that does not mean that you are allowed to kill everyone as you like. That is a special circumstances when fighting must be there. Therefore the ksatriyas are required to give protection. Like the government is keeping military, police, soldiers, that does not mean government is after killing only. That department will be utilized when there is necessity, not that government is meant for killing. Government has other departments also. But this is also maintained. If there is necessity, it should be utilized. So Krsna, when He is on the battlefield, that was a necessity. He has got two business. Paritranaya sadhunam vinasaya ca duskrtam. Those who are demons, those who are disturbing elements, they should be killed. And those who are honest and peaceful, they should be maintained. But because it is material world, the world of duality, there are good and evil, so you have to curb down the evil. Sometimes force is required. So that killing is not bad. When the enemy is aggressive and you are killing, that killing and poor animal who is supplying milk... You are drinking milk, your mother, and you are killing. This killing and that killing is not the same thing. According to Vedic civilization the cow is to be given special protection. Why it is recommended for the cow? It does not say of other animal. When animal killing is required according to Vedic civilization, those who are meat-eaters, they are allowed to kill some insignificant animal like deer, goat, pigs. It is for the animal eaters, not for all. But if one is bent upon... And there are persons, they want meat-eating. So for them these unimportant animals are recommended. But cow is very important animal. You get from its milk so many nutritious food. So apart from religious sentiment, from economic point of view, cow-killing is not good. And from moral point of view it is not good because you drink cow's milk, so cow is your mother. According to Vedic civilization, there are seven mothers.
adau-mata guroh patni
brahmani raja-patnika
dhenur dhatri tatha prthvi
sapta eta matarah smrtah
Adau-mata, real mother, and guru-patni, the wife of guru or teacher, she is also mother 'cause teacher is father. Adau-mata guroh patni brahmani, the wife of a brahmana. She is mother. Adau-mata guroh patni brahm..., raja-patnika, the queen, the wife of the king. She is mother. And then cow is mother because you are drinking her milk. Adau-mata guroh patni brahmani raja-patnika, dhenur dhatri, nurse. Nurse is also mother because you suck the breast of the nurse. Therefore according to Vedic civilization, there are seven mothers. So you cannot kill your mother. That is not very good philosophy. And who can deny, The cow is not mother? Who has got this audacity? You are drinking milk in the very morning. Christ says, Thou shall not kill?--wholesale killing stop. And the Vedic literature is little liberal. It does not say, Thou shall not kill, but, You shall not kill at least cow. But the wholesale stop is not possible. The Vedic wisdom knows that. But you shall not kill at least cow. That is civilization. And the Christians are maintaining thousands of slaughterhouse. Is that very good proposal?

✚ Watch my WW2 in the Pacific PLAYLIST:
This short film – originally titled as ‘To the Shores of Iwo Jima’ – is a 1945 color documentary produced by the United States Navy and United States Marine Corps. It documents the American amphibious assault on the heavily-fortified, well-defended, Japanese-held island of Iwo Jima and the massive battle that raged on that key island in the Allied advance on Japan during World War 2.
The film follows the marines through the battle in rough chronological order, from the bombardment of the island by warships and carrier-based airplanes to the final breakdown of resistance. Although it shows the taking of Mount Suribachi, it then switches to the footage of the second flag raising.
The film ends by acknowledging the 4,000 who lost their lives in the month-long battle, and tells the audience that their sacrifice was not in vain, showing a bomber aircraft taking off from the island for a mission over Japan.
Four cameramen were killed and ten were wounded while filming this documentary. One of the dead was William H. (Bill) Genaust who shot moving footage of the famous flag-raising ceremony on Mt. Suribachi.
To the Shores of Iwo Jima is a production of the U.S. Office of War Information, assisted by an editing team from Warner Brothers. It was nominated as Best Documentary, Short Subject, for the 1945 Academy Awards.
HISTORICAL BACKGROUND / CONTEXT
The Battle of Iwo Jima (19 February – 26 March 1945) was a major battle in which the United States Marine Corps landed on and eventually captured the island of Iwo Jima from the Japanese Imperial Army during World War 2. The American invasion, designated Operation Detachment, had the goal of capturing the entire island, including the three Japanese-controlled airfields, to provide a staging area for attacks on the Japanese main islands.
Iwo Jima was defended by roughly 23,000 Japanese army and navy troops, and it was attacked by three marine divisions after elaborate preparatory air and naval bombardment. (The American ground forces were supported by extensive naval artillery, and had complete air supremacy provided by U.S. Navy and Marine Corps aviators throughout the entire battle.)
The battle was marked by changes in Japanese defense tactics – troops no longer defended at the beach line but rather concentrated inland; consequently, the marines experienced initial success but then got bogged down in costly attritional warfare. Iwo Jima was heavily fortified. The Japanese fought from an elaborate network of bunkers, hidden artillery positions, and 18 km (11 mi) of underground tunnels that were difficult to find and destroy. Except for 1,083 prisoners (two of whom did not surrender until 1951) the entire garrison was wiped out.
Despite the fierce fighting, the Japanese defeat was assured from the start. Overwhelming American superiority in arms and numbers as well as almost complete control of air power – coupled with the impossibility of Japanese retreat or reinforcement, along with sparse food and supplies – permitted no plausible circumstance in which the Americans could have lost the battle.
After the heavy losses incurred in the battle, the strategic value of the island became controversial. It was useless to the U.S. Army as a staging base and useless to the U.S. Navy as a fleet base. However, Navy Seabees rebuilt the landing strips, which were used as emergency landing strips for USAAF B-29s.
Joe Rosenthal's Associated Press photograph of the raising of the U.S. flag on top of the 169 m (554 ft) Mount Suribachi by six U.S. Marines became an iconic image of the battle and the American war effort in the Pacific.
