About the scene. Probably the most famous photo of WWII showing Marines raising the flag on Mt. Surabachi during the Battle of Iwo Jima. The photo was taken on the fifth day of the battle--which lasted some five weeks. The COA on the verso describes the photo on top, taken by Associated Press photographer, Al Rosenthal, which was published in hundreds of Sunday newspapers two days after it was taken; as store well as several frames of film shot by Sgt. Joe Genaust, a U.S. Marine motion picture photographer, who was standing next to Mr. Rosenthal during the raising of the flag. He shot about eight seconds of the flag raising which was shown to movie audiences across America after the war. Sgt. Genaust was killed on Iwo Jima nine days after these photos were taken and he never got to see them published.
