Iraq’s ‘Triangle of Death’ is still famously dangerous real estate...

The road leading south out of Baghdad never looked like a typical killing field you’d imagine; it looked like farmland. Canals threaded between palm groves, wheat and date plots worked by the families who owned them, the Euphrates bending along the southwestern edge of all of it. If you ever rode those canal roads between 2004 and 2007, you learned fast not to trust any of it.

That culvert up ahead might simply be a culvert, or it might be a 155mm artillery shell wired to a cordless phone, buried by a man who farmed the field beside it.

A wedge of ground anchored by the towns of Mahmudiyah, Yusufiyah, and Iskandariyah formed a rough triangle riding just below the capital. American troops eventually would call the place the Triangle of Death.

It became one of the deadliest pieces of real estate in the entire war. It earned the title the way most things in Iraq earned their titles through the repetition of men and women who drove out and did not drive back.

When USS Nautilus Sent Yamakaze to the Deep: On June 25, 1942, the USS Nautilus (SS-168) found the J*panese destroyer Yamakaze operating in open water roughly 110 kilometers southeast of Yokosuka — practically in J*pan's own backyard. Two torpedoes were fired. The Nautilus' crew watched through the periscope as the destroyer went under. The whole thing was over in minutes.

The photo reveals what the periscope actually captured: Yamakaze's back had snapped just aft of the bridge, the bow section rolling to port as the stern went down separately. Two figures in white are barely visible scrambling across the conning tower. There was nowhere to run. The ocean was already coming up to meet them.

Yamakaze carried a crew of 226 men. She was no stranger to war. She had fought at the Battle of the Java Sea, covered amphibious landings at Balikpapan and Makassar, and earlier that year had sunk the American submarine USS Shark in the Makassar Strait. She was a warship with a combat record — and the Pacific War had a way of closing those circles.

Now an American submarine had found her just miles from her home port, stalked her beneath the surface, and put two torpedoes into her hull without warning. There was no time for evasive maneuvers. No time for a distress call. Yamakaze went down on June 25, 1942. Five minutes was all it took.

This image was later published as one of the year's outstanding photographs in the December 1942 issue of U.S. Camera, under the title "Doom of J*p Warship." It remains one of the most striking combat images of the entire war — a warship's final seconds, framed in an enemy's gun sight, taken by the very submarine that fired the killing shot.

Some photographs document history. This one was history.

The Hundred Days Offensive, August 1918
Soldiers of the 6th Battalion, Seaforth Highlanders advance near Roeux, France, during the Battle of the Scarpe on 29 August 1918. As they pushed forward to capture Greenland Hill, troops fired into a dugout in a deserted German trench to ensure no enemy soldiers remained hidden.
