<p>[QUOTE=&quot;bluumz, post: 3356596, member: 649&quot;]So here are the photos that concern me as being professional shots instead of amateur shots taken by the album keeper. But again, were such grisly photos sold to soldiers? (Sorry, I know I’m going against what I said in my original post about not showing them here.)</p><p>The flag raising and Japan’s surrender onboard the USS Missouri are professional shots, of course. This does make me wonder whether the battle aftermath photos were part of a souvenir packet. I shall include six photos in this post and another six photos in the next post.</p><p>Does anyone recognize them?</p><p>(Red marks added by me.)</p><p><br /></p><p>EDIT: Found that this first one is <a href="https://www.news-leader.com/story/news/2020/02/24/joe-rosenthal-photos-battle-iwo-jima-world-war-ii-american-flag/4857889002/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.news-leader.com/story/news/2020/02/24/joe-rosenthal-photos-battle-iwo-jima-world-war-ii-american-flag/4857889002/" rel="nofollow">a Joe Rosenthal photo</a>:</p><p><img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/eek.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":eek:" unselectable="on" /> &quot;Albums of Rosenthal prints have sold for tens of thousands of dollars at major auction houses...&quot; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie66" alt=":nailbiting:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]300218[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]300219[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]300220[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]300221[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]300222[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]300223[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
