Carl Berghofer is a great friend of the channel. Two years ago we published a 30-minute edit of Mr Berghofer's remarkable testimony. This week we decided to revisit his interview, and bring you an extended cut so that you can learn more about the realities and horrors of war, and particularly World War II in the Pacific.
Mr Berghofer joined the Marines as a teenager, and found himself shipped off to the Pacific - first to the Marshall Islands, then Guam, before being sent to the infamous island of Iwo Jima. Mr Berghofer witnessed the beach assault first-hand, taking part in a battle that saw fierce fighting in the caves and peaks of that island. From witnessing up-close the use of flamethrowers on the Japanese, to the experience of fighting with knives in caves and tunnels, Mr Berghofer's testimony is some of the most detailed and important first-person testimony of that battle.
We're thankful to Mr Berghofer for sharing his war story with us, and for his sacrifice and service in that most awful of conflicts.
