In the Japanese warrior-culture of WWII, it was not acceptable to surrender. It was a glorious honor to die in battle and join your ancestors, making this image of a surrendering Japanese soldier on Iwo Jima extremely rare. Issued by the Associated Press and stamped on the back, even the paper caption notes the rarity of the occasion!
