Battle Of Iwo Jima
This photograph would soon become a symbol of the American victory in the Pacific. American soldiers join together to raise the American flag atop Mount Suribachi on Iwo Jima island. The Japanese troops had dug themselves into deep forts in the mountain, making it almost impossible to penetrate them.
Celebrating In Moscow
Celebrations run wild in the Soviet capital, Moscow. Here Red Square is lit up by fireworks and lively celebrations, marking the end of a costly war. Russia lost the most civilians and soldiers out of all the countries involved in World War II.
