Original Note:
The 216 figure only includes the number of POWs captured during the battle. A large number of Japanese soldiers went into hiding and were captured at a later point. Over one thousand Japanese soldiers were eventually captured: https://www.ww2online.org/image/japanese-prisoners-war-being-evacuated-iwo-jima-island-japan-1945
