Wow that one really captures the downfall of Germany in a single pic!! It's true what they say.... that a picture is worth a thousand words!!

A side note--
My friend and neighbor who was an Army pilot for Patton, flew Patton
up to the Rhine the day that photo was taken.

I didn't say Iwo Jima was redone for the cameras , I have heard that an officer sent up a larger flag because he wanted the first flag , also it would be easier to see across the whole island . I just think it is sad that those involve in the first raising are forgotten , and the second raising became famous .
