Iwo Jima 1945

Travel to one of the most important moments of the Second World War – a moment that not only symbolised American heroism, but also the unwavering will to survive. On 23 February 1945, six Marines raised the US flag on the summit of Suribachi. This extraordinary scene, immortalised by photographer Joe Rosenthal, became one of the most famous images of the Second World War, a symbol of courage, sacrifice and strength of spirit.
With the COBI building block set “Flag Raises on Iwo Jima”, you can recreate this legendary shot, which has been preserved not only in photographs, but also in the hearts of all those who remember the heroic sacrifices of the soldiers fighting in the Pacific.

The Battle of Iwo Jima – Fight for Every Piece of Land
From 19 February to 26 March 1945, the merciless battles for the island of Iwo Jima raged in a storm of fire and conflict. The Battle of Suribachi Peak, which ended on 23 February, was not the end of this battle. In fact, Japanese soldiers hiding in a dense network of tunnels and bunkers resisted until the last days of March. Of the American Marines immortalised forever in the photograph, three lost their lives in this further brutal battle.

This photograph – the moment the flag appeared over the island – became a symbol not only of victory, but also of the ultimate sacrifice. The Pulitzer Prize for Joe Rosenthal was just the symbolic culmination of this moment that touched the hearts of people around the world.
