This is Korea (Parts 1 and 2)
AVA18577VNB1, 1951
Covers the United States involvement with Korea and testing of Korean weapons. John Ford directed this film which is the only color documentary made during the Korean War.
My old neighbor was in Korea, fought with the Marines there but never said a lot about his service there except about how cold it got there in the winter and about how the enemy would due there " dirty work" at night. He was a good man who I used to drink beers with. His name was Alvin "Bud" Littleton. Miss him. R I P "Bud". 🙏
Sounds like a good man
Sounds like a great bloke😊😊 My uncle was an Australian militia volunteer who fought in Papua New Guinea. He was fighting in the extreme heat and humidity. They were very poorly trained and equipped. He hated and refused to eat butter as they had rancid butter and hard tack biscuits. It went rotten in the tropics really quickly. I don't guess the canned bully beef would have been much better. He was a lovely kind old gentleman. He had a sugar cane farm. He was fairly deaf and my aunty used to nag him incessantly. Uncle Bert was a very gentle hardworking man and very patient,calm and quietly spoken. He would quietly reach up and turn off his hearing aids. And just say yes dear. 😂😂😂 saying that I've seen him deal with a 6 foot taipan snake with a piece of polythene pipe. He was a tough old fella. I really miss him. He was going to teach my brother how to platt a stockwhip but he never got to it. He had been a country fair whip cracker and trick rider in his youth. He and his brother rode around Australia making a living entertaining people
My grandfather found WW2 only time I can recall him saying anything about the war , I was watching TV show MASH in 70s he came in & told me war is nothing like this , he was very stern about it as well

@@matthewcullen1298my grandfather was CMF in Papua before transferring into the AIF fighting in the Japanese in Atipe and Buna. He also didn’t say a lot about the war except for food.
He loathed the army’s powered eggs with a passion, but didn’t mind the bully beef and said they even figured out a way to pack extra cans of it into the frames of the 6 pound gun carriages they were hauling through the mountains.
He also spoke with awe about boarding a US naval ship once the yanks joined the battle, where the Aussies, straight out of the jungle fighting were served fresh eggs, steak and icecream “as much as you could eat”.
My uncle Eddie never returned home from Korea. My aunt had a b&w pic of him in his dress uniform on her dresser till the day she passed and never remarried. A lot of women probably experienced similar faits. We will never forget.
Awe that's love
As a Korean, I would like to show my heart-felt gratitude for your family. I honestly feel that I wouldn't have come along or have thrived as much as I have done, if it had not been the UN soldiers who shed their blood in my country. He saved millions of other Koreans like me. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
@@PurpleCat9794 such a kind and heartfelt response. Thank you.
Apart from making directing / producing about 140 movies, John Ford is one of the earliest Naval war reporters who did not just report on conflict - but made a full production out of his endeavors. Making history - whilst filming history.
Jimmy Stewart also made films as Burgess Merredith as well sorry for the bad spelling i don't think they directed shorts but they did some i think either Narration or Starred in them. i haven't seen those myself yet but they were asked to do those and so well they did.
And in color, and using no stock footage, accordingly to IMDB.
한국전쟁에 대해 부모님으로부터 많이들었지만 실제로 이 다큐를 보니 아하! 더욱더 실감이나는군요 이제 우리 세대는 전쟁이 끝나고 한참후에 태어나서 듣기는 많이들었어도 확실히 실감하지못했는데 이런 역사적 귀중한 자료를 보게 되어 참으로 감사드립니다
the war sealed the eternal friendship between the USA & S Korea - God bless your country - I've been there =-splendid!
My dad was in that war. He had some harrowing stories to tell as I was growing up. I was 6 years old when he returned from Korea. It had been 2 years since he left and I remember hiding behind my mom because it was like seeing a stranger. God bless all the men who fought and died in that war.

THANKS FOR FIGHTING FOR SOUTH KOREA!
thanks Mr.turner
Thank u
My grandfather fought in Korea he was a captain in artillery I still have all his photos from Korea he was a photographer also in never got to talk to him about anything he passed away wish I would have got to learn some stuff from him I fought in Afghanistan and Iraq wish we would have got to talk to each other about our experiences God bless him and all who fought there
Showing the human side of this war, powerful stuff. Made this grown man cry.
I know a Korean veteran, the stories he told me are pretty horrific.
I knew one too he was in Seoul , he never told me anything.
My father was a marine and fought in this war. Best man I have ever known.
My uncle was a marine who fought in Korea. He was one of the best men I have ever known. He was 1st Marine, Easy company.

My grandfather was a medic in the national guard, he joined to get college funding and was sent over when it broke out. But proud to say hes still alive pushing 94
@@ProfDino-cu1vy So happy he's still with you. My dad passed away a couple of years ago. Marines are such honorable, honest,brave people. Best wishes to your grandfather friend.
My father was there terribly wounded, but lived to have a family and a son (me) ,in the first groups of us army soldiers sent to slow the advance, motor man sole survivor of his team. Died 2005 I am still terribly sad, but also so proud and great full.
Really appreciate by representing Koreans
Glories to the army soldiers.
50 year anniversary. There is much bravery, courage, dignity and fortitude required to be a soldier. I respect your father. I wish you happy life.

My dad fought there and he died in 2003. Salute to your father for his service.
My Father was there too.on Point with a BAR.wounded 4 times,i think.survived.died in 2006.i hear ya Brother
My father was a sergeant and squad leader of 3rd squad, 3rd platoon, Easy Company, 2nd Battalion, 7th Regiment, 1st Marine Division. He was wounded 4 times received 1 Purple Heart. Received the Marine Corps medal of Merit for treating his wounded men, tho severely wounded himself and refusing evacuation until his men were evacuated. He never talked about combat, but would talk about some things. Like bumping into General MacArthur on a muddy road close to the front lines. I read a quote from a captured North Korean colonel that says it all. “ My men would tremble at the thought of facing the United States Marines.”
My uncle was 1st Marine, Easy company.
@@lindamyers1386 Had 2 who were in the Army and my friend's grandpop was Navy
My Uncle Harry Bland was in first Marines, was wounded, and received the Purple Heart, but I don't know what company he was in. I am looking for ways to figure that out. I know he was wounded on December 3rd 1950 in Hagagu-ri, at the Chosin Reservoir.
My father was with the 3rd Battalion, 11th Regiment, 1st Marine Division. It was and still is a mobile artillery unit that supported the 7th Regiment, 1st Marine Division.

Back in high school, we had a vet come in and talk to us. He was one of the machine gunners on the trucks by the Yalu river across from China, and he talked to us about his experiences in the war, he had said that originally he wasn't supposed to be the gunner, but his friend had gotten shot so he took over the machine gun, and he said it was literally like seeing waves of people as far as he could see! I can't remember exactly what else he had said, but he was an older gentleman, and this was maybe about 5-7 years ago if I recall correctly, I hope he's still around.. RIP to all of our VETS especially the forgotten ones, Korea, and Vietnam... Vietnam vets are starting to get the recognition they deserve, but Korea was overshadowed by WWII if your a vet and you read this, thank you for your service, and please know that we thank you for your sacrifices you've made for all of us. GOD BLESS OUR VETS
"seeing waves of people as far as he could see!", communists dont care about lives, someone else's lives.
thanks a lot for your uploading
My grandfather served in Korea and he told me this: you can wear another man’s hat, coat, pants, gloves and even their underwear. But you never wear another man’s shoes.
That’s literally all he told me about the Korean War
Why not shoes 🤔🤔
I can't even imagine how loud it must be with those shells dropping. These man are so brave.

@@benchang5609 So, the Soviet Union's refusal to allow reunification and fair elections over the whole peninsula after World War II has nothing to do with there being two regimes there at the beginning of the Korean War.

Very educational but heart touching too.
Our uncle lost his leg at Chosin Reservoir. He was 19 years old, a new catcher for St Louis Cardinals, got called up to the Marine Reserve..lost his leg and never got to play in the Big Leagues.. true story.
Your Dear Uncle was the man needed at the time. Blessings to him my chum.
Was wondering if he lost his leg to the cold for a wound? My uncle was there and he told me how his feet were so cold and then he was also wounded.
@@virginian3390 He lost one leg to machine gun fire and lost the toes on the other foot from frostbite when he was laying there waiting for help. They were some tough brave guys.
The Korean War is still ongoing to this day since no peace treaty was signed after the 1953 armistice

@Red Lamp communisim , capitalisim , socialisim , they are all " dangerous " as long as the people in control are greedy .
Thank you for your service and South Korean will never forget your dedication.
We call it The Forgotten War, but from the comments the Korean folks are posting here, I realize they remember and are grateful. Some good people were worth the sacrifice I think.
@Eternal President Kim il Sung most Americans consider the Korean war a forgotten war because of world war II before it and Vietnam after it. Americans lost lot more men in Vietnam and was a much longer war in a time when people were questioning things more
"The Forgotten War" was a media term. There were 36,516 men killed in Korea in 3 years, 1 month and 2 days...no one forgets that.
It is bizarre how so many have forgotten it. The Korean War was a conflict that changed the entire world, not just the two countries or the United States. It set the stage for the true Cold War, introduced jet warfare, introduced the idea of the UN as a true peacekeeping force, and affected the attitudes and minds of countless peoples around the globe toward Communism or against it (the actor Sir Michael Caine was a British soldier in it, and credits the horrors he experienced/witnessed for making him become disillusioned with the Marxist ideology). It literally was the beginning of the world we know today, in so many ways. Hands down the most influential conflict of the 20th Century apart from the two World Wars.
Never we shall forget.
Heartbreak ridge, were I was, and all the pain of Coréens I saw.

He lost many brothers from his Scottish Regiment and many brothers from the USA

As a Korean, I thank you the participants in the Korean war for your devoted service to keep liberty and peace. You made it, attacking against the communists from the North Korea and China, rebuilding Korea what it is today. Once again, I sincerely wish God bless all of you, regardless of living or dead. God bless all the killed in action in the Korean war. Never will we Koreans forget your participation when we are in need. RIP.

I bet that coffee instant type 1 was amazing from what I've heard!. God bless all these heroes! All the heavy duty work they did with no gloves or safety manuals because they knew exactly what to do! And that Angel Soldier or Marine at 22:24 giving candy that feeling for him i bet made his tour all worth to see that difference from scared to smiling happy kids! This is history im watching late at night because we never forget them, they fought through hell on earth. Never forgotten!
Hearing instant coffee type 1 reminds me of Steve1989.
That Marine was a smart fellow too. He realized that he needed to eat a piece of it himself in front of them so the kids would trust the candy to be safe (heaven knows what they had been through). Once they saw him do it, then they joyfully pounced on it together. An absolutely beautiful moment of humanity in the midst of all the great tragedy and destruction.

Very true Andrew, it was only the second war, in my opinion, that was worth fighting, WWII to stop the axis powers, and Korea to stop the enslavement of the whole nation not just those poor people of North Korea. 😔😡😢👍🇬🇧🏴
Back in those days，NK people has a much better life than SK。You are rich do not mean you are right。Lots people like to live in US means US is GOD？
My Nana was an Australian Nurses in Korea. She wouldn’t talk about the war.
A water cooled heavy mg ? Cool! Do we still use those today anywhere? Russia does in fixed fortified areas . I think alot of old tech could be usefull with modern materials and construction as well as product improvements.
More than you know when the British army withdrew the Vickers MG , The Royal armouries fired one for a week! more than 4000000 rounds (swapping barrels) and when finished they stripped it down and checked tolerances and all parts were still inside tolerance .
Those things were made to last .

At 26:44 ....Is that Lieutenant Lee? If so, a true American badass. One of a kind. He wore something similar on his back.
What a American heroes they fought for freedom of Koreans whom they never met ,never heard and they wounded and suffered and died ….all we Koreans never forget their love and dedication never and never
One can easily see by looking at the north what a nightmare South Korean's lives would be now if America hadn't defended them.
An Australian newsreel from 1950 I saw recently stated an even bigger fear: If Stalin and Mao's evil "experiment" of Communist conquest through faction warfare succeeded, they would try it endlessly everywhere possible on earth. Although they did still try it in places (like Vietnam), the Communist failure in Korea forced them to reconsider their ambitions. Plus, it shattered the Communist invincibility myth, which was CRITICAL.
that is such bullshit. Do you think North Korea's progress was completely unchanged by this attack? Of course not, this attack made them the dictatorship they are today.
The communist dictatorship was already established with Soviet help before 1950. And was well supplied militarily. Their attack on the south and subsequent defeat could have ushered in a new era for the north. But the Chinese intervened and another two and a half years of war and destruction followed. North Korea has been in the grip of a selfish hereditary clique for over 70 years. The people have been throttled and the economy looted and grossly mismanaged by this parasite clique. South Korea has not had that kind of evil on their backs.
Why us is still in their country but not going back home? Supposing Russian soilder staying in Washington for 70 years, what do you feel?
@@bentbej1873
The small number of U.S. Troops are there as a visible "Tripwire" warning that if the north attack's again the United States will defend the south. Personally I doubt the north could get very far anyway. Even in 1950 the north lost attack momentum for several days as their troops started looting the Seoul area. And Seoul was much smaller and poorer then. Imagine those backwards and hungry North Korean's emerging into the vast modern and wealthy Seoul and environs. They would be in shock at the realization of the lies they'd been told. They would also lose all discipline as they started gorging on the food and stealing things.
One thing I don't get is your reference to "how would we feel if Russian Soldier's were still in Washington after WWII". The Russians never defended the US or had troop's in America. I think you need to do some independent research and get free of a lot of falsehoods and partial truths you may have been taught.
Dad had a hell of a time there in combat as an Infantry squad leader. He said that this was a no bullshit combat zone. Dad got 3 Purple Hearts there along with 3 Bronze Stars with Valor. Bless Dad's luck. Looks like I had it fucking easy in Panama 1989-90 and my Iraq tour from 2006-08. Dad's generation had full on combat just as bad as WWII when he first experienced combat in 1944-45 in the ETO in Belgium and into Germany. The enemy is hard and they have no mercy upon you when you get into shooting range with them.

정말 정말 감사합니다.
참 행복도 하겠다. 스스로 나라를 지킬 능력이 안돼서 영원히 외국군에 나라의 국방을 의존해서.
@@misty6089 Nonono，they have army，just do not have the right to announce a war。The saddest thing is this country must follow US‘s will and be treated like a milking cow，no western comes here for charity。

Interesting thing is that the first part where the 1st Navy Division is 'advancing into the other direction', apparently seems to be North Korea, which means that this footage could be the very last record of US Military force residing in that region. Also it would be the very last time when those humble villagers in the North have enjoyed freedom and security in the last 60 years. Too sad that those villagers were destined to live under the crazy Kims.
然而如今的南边连自己的国家安全国防都要抱美国人大腿。
You seriously believe that the US were the heroes in this situation?
The culprit of Korea war : CCCP Stalin, China Mao Zedong, North Korea Kim Il-sung.
NOW!!!The Chinese government has not told the people the truth about this war .
@@jimbogringus6873 Heroes for us South Korea, just search for the nighttime satellite images of Korean peninsula, that picture is worth a thousand words. The US Army has done lots of unnecessary attrocities during the Cold War, namely Vietnam, but the Korean War was an exception. It was necessary and it was heroic. It was even sacrificial since the U.S. would have had no problem without Korea. I was born and raised in South Korea, and I'll have my self clear, I don't want to live under Kim Dynasty under no circumstances. If it were not for the U.S. Kim Il Sung would have unified Korea, and that would be as dark as hell.
"This is Korea"
BOOM!
Gotta love it

war crime！
This is SPARTA!!!!!
22:30 the children made korea developed. I respect them.
I was born in 1952, during this war!
Kesini gara2 film ayla the daughter of war 😢
My childhood friends father was a Korean war hero. I read an article they had that described how he, Sargent Smallwood, commandeered a locomotive and rescued some villagers from the communists while taking heavy machinegun fire. He described how he just pulled the throttle wide open and lay on the floor with bullets ripping through the engine.
Not many videos about the Korean war out there or even info. Great American soldiers.
Tom Jones, Not to mention all the other great soldiers from many other great nations eh???????, or was it only the USA who fought in Korea, and there was me thinking it was a United Nations effort, so technically they were all United Nations 🇺🇳 soldiers.
@Binaj's Gaming God bless th epeople of Nord Korea and South CoreoLAll the best Lutz from Germany East GDR Leipzig
Thank you for giving this country freedom.
At 18:27 , I didn't know that there were bumper stickers in 1951.
Luar biasa
What a change today in Korea after 70 years! Korea has become one of the most advanced nation in the world. It is simply a miracle to transform the war torn country to the country of technology, finance and lately leading world entertaining industry. Once both Korea reunited not in distant future the synergy effect of reunification can double or even triple the speed of advancing the nation to top five richest countries in all aspects in the world. I will continue to watch this wonderful country's ability of achieving its goals announced by the most democratically elected Korean government.
Now today the young disrespect these people that went through that for them. $200 SSA elderly homeless and forgotten.
no more war
有没有中文字幕版的，听不懂！
Sensacional
The Gloucesters at the imjin deserve a mention as do the Belgians and Aussies. It wasnt all USA. The yanks did do most I grant you but dont forget the others.
Yeah, you're right but no one said it was an all American war. Note at 1:14, this documentary is about the US 7th Fleet and the 1st Marine Division fighting the war, not a general Korean war doc.
Yeah, you are right. Actually I served around the area, so I know Seolma-ri where British Gloucestershire Regiment fought against the Chinese army very fiercely, delaying their attack for three days.If it had not been for British regiment, British troops and we couldn't help it by the Chinese continuous attack. Because I learned from many data as to Seolmari battle, the important role the British Gloucestershire Regiment played was invaluable in war history.
Even as an American, I could not agree more! Ethiopians were darn good warriors too. Each country present did their part. The North Koreans and especially Communist Chinese were insane in their aggression, took brave men everywhere to stop their attacks. Thank Heaven we managed to preserve South Korea from that evil and give those people hope for the future (and gave the monsters Kim and Mao a good hard punch).
Chiến tranh thật là khủng khiếp
Fun fact: the television show’s MASH location on the show was Korea.
Times were so different back then. There was the good and the bad just like now. The one thing that stands out was how the people back then thought and talked different. There was that patriotism that I rarely see today. Morals were so clear and defined as well. Some of it good as I said, some of it today would be considered bad.
