Correcting history of iconic WWII photo of US Marines flag-raising on Iwo Jima

NEW: JOIN ME ON PATREON:   / themobreporter   The photo is immediately recognizable, a black and white image capturing the dramatic moment on Feb. 23, 1945, when U.S. Marines stuck a flagpole into the ground after heavy fighting on the island of Iwo Jima during the Second World War. As easily recognizable as the image is, the names of the soldiers in it were not. With their heads bowed or backs turned after four days of a tough battle, they were soon officially identified by the U.S. government and publicly applauded and acclaimed, whether they wanted it or not. But the military got the names wrong. A Canadian forensic video expert has now corrected that error of history, made 71 years ago, following his detailed, frame-by-frame analysis of archival footage and several photos taken on that important day. I sat down with Michael Plaxton, the video analysis for Hamilton police service, to see how he identified the soldiers in one of the world’s most famous photographs, which won the Pulitzer Prize for Photography for Associated Press photographer Joe Rosenthal. Archival video footage used in this video, including of the Flag Raising on Iwo Jima shot by Marine photographer Bill Genaust, is a public domain product of the U.S. Government Office of War Information.
