Saw the other night on PBS (I believe) a documentary on Bill Genaust, one of movie photogs assigned by the Army to film the battle on Iwo Jima. He recorded like 14 reels of color footage before himself was killed flushing out the enemy from a cave. His most famous clip is the raising of the second American flag on Iwo Jima. Good stuff.

My bad, not on PBS but History Channel. Here is a link about the show, along with upcoming show times.
