| Chief Engineer | The Japanese strategy before the battle began was that of "no Japanese survivors." They almost carried the strategy out fully - of the 22,000 Japanese soldiers in the Iwo Jima garrison, only 200 were taken as prisoners - the other 21,800 were killed in defense of the island. source: http://www.iwebtrain.com/iwojoe.htm |
