About US;  Welcome to Campbellfilms. We are a small American family business, started by a father & son that collects old films. Our goal is to save old films from the trash heap and digitize them in HD for future generations. The Son went to film school and the father is passionate about history and assembles the content. The result is why folks comment positively on the "Quality and Content" of our old films transferred on our DVD's. Although we are not Hollywood, we think that you'll like these old historic films!   

Please note;  Buy 2 or more of any of our DVD's per order from our collection, and we will add a free DVD along with this order of similar topic.

What's on this DVD;  "The Battle of Iwo Jima"

The invasion of Iwo Jima began on February 19, 1945, and continued to March 26, 1945. The battle was a major initiative of the Pacific Campaign of World War II. The Marine invasion, known as Operation Detachment, was charged with the mission of capturing the airfields on the island which up until that time had harried U.S. bombing missions to Tokyo. Once the bases were secured, they could then be of use in the impending invasion of the Japanese mainland.

The battle was marked by some of the fiercest fighting of the War. The Imperial Japanese Army positions on the island were heavily fortified, with vast bunkers, hidden artillery, and 18 kilometers (11 mi) of tunnels. The battle was the first U.S. attack on the Japanese home islands and the Imperial soldiers defended their positions tenaciously. Of the 21,000 Japanese soldiers present at the beginning of the battle, over 20,000 were killed and only 1,083 taken prisoner
