Historiespanarna - History Reconnaissance
The shadows and remains of our history is all around us! Our mission is to collect and compile pieces from that giant puzzle and create illuminating videos as snapshots of history. Looking back to our past helps us to understand the present and our future.
Our channel started some years ago with a few short videos from a narrow-gauge railroad. Since then, we have added several more categories: World War 1 and 2, The Korean war, The cold war era, The Vietnam war, Japan in World War 2, to mention some.
We are always trying to give our viewers something extra, not just documentary footage, but a background to the events, researching, and adding facts from archives - documents, maps, and images.
The aim with every video on the channel is a lesson in history small or big. Educational with an entertaining angle.
There is a lot in pipeline so please stay tuned and subscribe!

Failed loyalty – The US Marines at Con Thien
Failed loyalty - The US Marines at Con Thien. Images and voices from one of the fiercest and most questioned battles of the Vietnam War - The Battle of Con Thien. Con Thien was a military base that started out as a U.S. Army Special Forces camp before transitioning to a United States Marine Corps combat base. It was located near the Vietnamese Demilitarized Zone just 3 kilometres from North Vietnam. It was the site of fierce fighting and from September 1966 to October 1967, the 3rd US Marine Division casualties were 1,400 killed in action and 9,000 wounded. These numbers speak volumes of the American commanders in Vietnam that failed to recognize that loyalty should flow downward as well ...

Sea, Air and Wetlands - US Army Airmobile in the Vietnam War. The Airmobility concept was not just a product of a Vietnam expediency. It certainly had its roots in both the airborne techniques of World War II and the early doctrine for organic aviation for ground forces. However, a key decision can be said to be the US Army's move to form twelve helicopter battalions on 21 August 1952. The firs...

USS Marblehead - Pollywogs and Shellbacks
My father started his National Service in 1959, when his two years was up he signed on as a regular, unfortunately he ended up getting a medical discharge four years later.
From what I have been led to believe, the USA did not allow artillery to fire into the DMZ and North of the DMZ, don't know how accurate this info was. RVN '66-'67 1st Mar Div. 0311
Not sure of the artillery fire, but after may 8th 1967 the III MAF was allowed to conduct combat operations into the southern half of the DMZ.
@@Historiespanarna Operation Buffalo? I was south of DaNang at the time, we heard it was a massacre. One thousand casualties, the higher ups used the 9th Marines as bait.
@@boondocker7964 159 Marines killed and 345 wounded during Buffalo
@@Historiespanarna 845 wounded. Where are you getting your info from?
@@boondocker7964 well 345, in this case just a wikipedia article on Con Thien, however it does have a number of references
Nice 👍👌

My father Otis Roper I was in the Air Mobile, he was a mortar man.

How were we ever a part of this insanity? One week of every month I spent sitting SAC nuclear alert back in the 80s, almost a year of my life in total, and it never really occurred to me when I was doing it how utterly improbable it would have been for us to survive had we ever had to fly an actual nuclear strike mission against the USSR! Even the silliness of the eyepatches, worn because a nuke detonation would burn your retinas if you happened be looking in the direction of the blast. But with the patch, you’d still have one good eye if your uncovered eye got fried! And then the notion that all of our nukes launched from the CONUS and our submarines would be hitting their targets at their scheduled times! Absolute insanity! And, now, more than 30 years after the Cold War ended, the world’s the closest it’s been to nuclear war since the 1960s? Maybe even closer. Absolute insanity!
I was with the first of the 9th From 1965 to 1967
I arrived at Tan Son Nhut 0n January 4, 1968 as a USAF Sgt.. I reported to the U.S. Military Assistance Command, VIETNAM. I worked as an aide to An Air Force General . I remained in this position throughout my 1 year tour. We lived in downtown Saigon from jan.4 to may. We then relocated to TAN Son Nhut for the remainder of my time in Vietnam. I can only say that if it had not been for the US Army's Airborne on the morning of the Tet Offensive, Several very high ranking Generals and aides could have been in DEEP Trouble. I'm sure thankful for The USA Military. I Love the USA. No other country compares to the USA. Most Americans are becoming less than Grateful for OUR Military. I.m 79 years old and seeing the changes in people who now want a President that only cares about himself and his ego. He🤔🤔🧐 cannot be trusted.
I love these historic videos. Thanks!
I will keep em coming! Thank You!
Did anyone serve with my father, Bennie Dorsey Patton. He was with heavy artillery in the Marine Corps. He mentioned Da Nang a couple of times and also Ke Sahn. He came home with shell shock really bad. He served in 1968.
I served in the 101st Airborne, 1st Brigade, 1/327th Infantry Regiment. It was the biggest honor of my life. God bless all Veterans.

First half of the film is on the Santa Fe Railroad's San Francisco Chief from Chicago to Richmond. Second half is on the Southern Pacific/Union Pacific's Overland Limited over Donner Pass.
....With the Santa Fe Dining service mixed in
Some more about "First half of the film" : At 1.36 Running alongside a four-lane highway through the Central Valley with farmland in background. At 3.21 there is a sign "Gately" Gateley is in between Hercules and Pinole on the San Pablo Bay shore. At 5.22 - 5.29 railway bridge over Carquinez Strait. Clear view of bridge over Suisun marshlands and waters of the straits. Running along Carquinez strait waterfront, passing under the Carquinez bridge
The documentary was excellent (of course!), and thankfully the introduction voice over was not a constant annoyance!
The term "limited" meant limited stops to speed up the schedule.
I was stationed at Normandy brks 1982 to 1985.
WOW you were late in doing National Service Colin, you should have been given a medal for being the last one called up .

It is sad that a great railroad was run into the ground by bad management.
Awesome video! I love watching and hearing those ol’ steam locomotives.
Yea! nothing beats that sound!
I love the 'Building A Tank' newsreel footage; all those guys who get their shoes shined before coming to work in a tank factory. Different times. Obsolete or not, some lucky M3s made it all the way through the War. There's a panoramic photo of American armor parked in Paris after the German surrender, and several M3s are visible among the crowd of M4s.

They really did not want to kill each other. If it had been different and we were united against a greater threat many so called enemies would have been friends. In this universe of mine Hitler wouldn't exist of course.
Been there, done that.
Great content.
Thanks!
The first reporter, Robert St. John had a fascinating life that included getting beat up badly by Al Capone’s enforcers after St. John wrote investigative articles pointing out the truth about Capone’s brothels (the police did nothing and helped Capone in a way), escaping the “N” Germans in the late 30s while reporting on their activities, WW2 reporting, and later being fired from NBC during the 50s “Red Scare” because of false accusations of being a Commy. -- Another great video. Thanks!
Thank you, interesting! and more videos are coming up!
Back in the day, the bombers carried the B41 drop bomb. They usually has a few B-52s in the air with AGM-28 Hound Dogs, attached to a weapons pylon under each wing, these would target air defense bases ahead of the incoming B41s.
Interesting! Thank you!
fast forward to 2024 and well what do we have now.
I still believe if needed our younger generation will step up and be counted.
I sat in the stands and watched this show when I was 10 years old. What happened to Lincoln’s funeral train?
In 1911, a prairie fire near Minneapolis, Minnesota, destroyed the train car that had so famously carried Lincoln's body to its final resting place. No color photograph of the car exist. Eyewitness accounts in newspapers were unreliable; the car was variously described as chocolate brown or claret red.
Thank you.
1st of the 8th air cav air mobile infantry. Proud to serve 65- 67. Reluctant to say we were bad ass. Only trying to survive a war that meant little to most of us. So many stories, nonsense.
Did you know of John Shanks (Timmy) he was 1st cavalry 65-68 ?
I Can't See Why They Can't Bring Back A Couple Steam Lines Back. 😊
I second that!
In essence, they have. The Big Boy and the 1309 for two examples. Now if by lines you mean actual railroad companies using steam for actual revenue operations, forget about it! No remaining infrastructure and in any event they would never get past the environmental activists. That ship sailed in the 1950’s.
I just ❤ Trains 🚆
So do I!
Cool seeing the brand new USS Independence CV-62. My dad served on her for nine months in 1968. I love seeing these historic videos.
Thank you for sharing! and there is much more in store, 200 videos published, 10 of them featuring New York history. So why not check our playlists and content page.
I was about to cheese the officers "welcome to Vietnam" speeches but they were giving good advice.
my unlce got his purple heart at anzio beachhead got shot in the arm
Thanks! and it was a very hard and forgotten battle that tied down a lot of German resources.
With the world the way it is now, perhaps it is time to revisit National Service.
It won't work!
I served from '79 until '89, even back then people were talking about bringing N.S. back, the attitude of the majority of those serving was that it was a bad idea, if you had to go into combat you wanted the people backing you up to be people who had volunteered to be there knowing the risks and not someone who wasn't given a choice.
Great video. Memories of Catterick with 66 Training Regt R.A.C. as illustrated. Service with The Bays. Wonderful time. Proud to have served .
The worst assignment in nam rescuing seals and other special forces. Happened all the time. When home they learned how to write books and articles.
i guess
This war is a no-win for America because the politicians had decided to tie up their hands going into the war.
