The tunnels of Iwo Jima were meant to be an impregnable fortress, until they started to breathe fire. Discover why the "Sherman Zippo" was the most feared weapon in the Pacific and how it shattered the Japanese defense. Iwo Jima was a hellscape of volcanic ash and hidden bunkers. For the US Marines, every yard was paid for in blood against an invisible enemy. But when the modified M4 Sherman flamethrower tanks, affectionately known as "Zippos", arrived on the beachhead, the nature of the battle changed forever.
In this episode of WW2 Theories, we explore the terrifying psychological and tactical impact of flame warfare. We dive into the accounts of Japanese survivors who were shocked by a weapon that could reach deep into the dark tunnels where bullets couldn't.
