A Letter from Iwo Jima // Major Charles Williamson // World War II Primary Source

Here we have something a little different to our usual videos. To complement The Armchair Historian s recent video on Iwo Jima, here we present a letter from an American soldier who took part in that fateful day. This is part of a World War 2 collaboration, enjoy these videos for more content!
