The severed head of a Japanese soldier burnt with napalm by American marines - stuck below the cannon of a captured Japanese tank
Horrifying: This image of a Japanese soldier's burned head staked on a tank shocked the nation and became a symbol of the brutality of the Battle for Guadalcanal Morse's shocking photo of a burned, severed Japanese head propped up on a Japanese tank at
Guadalcanal was one of the most horrific images published during the war. A Japanese soldier's skull is propped up on a burned-out Jap tank by U.S. troops. Fire damaged the rest of the corpse
The caption is partially incorrect. This picture was taken by Life Magazine photographer Ralph Morse on Guadalcanal in late 1942 and published in Feb 1943. The first use of Napalm by US forces in the Pacific was December 15,1943 when Marines used flame throwers against
Japanese portions New Guinea. It is correct that the head was propped up on the knocked but was burned by
the fire that erupted when the tank.was knocked out.
