Question

im doing a paper on the movie and the real thing and i have to write about the similarities and differences and i was wondering if there was any differences

Answer 1

Ah! go to Wal Mart and get the DVD " IWO JIMA 36 Days of Hell" It is a documentary about IWO taken from first hand accounts by the survivors. Then compare the two side by side. i.e the movie verison versus the documentary. Also another good source is the "Victory at Sea" DVD you can also get at Wal Mart.
That should give you a pretty good picture where the movie was shall we say jazzed up for entertainment purposes virus what it was really like on IWO,

Not only was more Congressional Medal of Honors earned on IWO than any other battle in WWII but also more battle field commissions given out or earned.

Another good source of information is your Marine Corps recruiter. Talk to him. He can tell you how to access the Marine Corps' History of the battle.from the Marine Corps records of the battle.
