My grandfather was part of the PVA send to North Korea in 1951. He was a back line medic but he still witnessed many things, things that can and will scar you for life. Before he passed away in 2014, he never told us any details of what happened. It was only before his death and he shared his war stories, and passed his medals to me. I kept them in a safe with my relatives in Harbin.

The war is not totally forgotten in Denmark, we got a song about the Danish hospital ship Jutlandia, which treated wounded soldiers off the coast of Korea.

Great video! Also, more!

South Korea: Not gonna lie, they had us in the first half there.

I know a man who was posted in Kokura, Japan at this time. He was in the 24th Infantry Division and among the first into the fighting in Korea. Getting pushed back all the way to the Pusan perimeter was a hair raising experience for those poor GI's. They were performing occupation duties in Japan and the next thing they knew was an all out fight for their lives against a much larger number of North Korean troops. He's 91 today and still has a hard time going to sleep at night.

An important thing to note with regards to Korean geography is that even though Seoul is about 10 miles from the DMZ in SK, in 1945, the North was considered far more urban, with the South being much more rural and agrarian. This was part of why NK was so much better prepared compared to SK. Interestingly to note as well is that SK remained a dictatorship into the 1980's. The video also glosses over the UN resolution in the war. Due to the recent Chinese Civil war, with the former republican government of China holed up in Taiwan, there was contention as to who would be considered the government of China in the UN. The UN had effectively chose to stay out of the conflict and maintained that Taiwan was still the government of China as the conflict was recent and it was not clear who would win. This lead the Soviet Union to boycott the UN. This meant that the Soviets' veto on the UN Security Council was not present and allowed the US to go to the UN with a resolution for UN assistance to SK. This is the leading example as to why you don't boycott the UN.

My grandfather fought with U.S. and U.N. forces in 1952. The war was at its height.The owner of the mountain was changed several times a day to the South and the North.Thank you for making this video.

Ever since K&G started videos on WW2 battles, I have been eagerly waiting for their treatment on the Korean War. Thank you Kings & Generals for shining more light on a war that doesn't get much attention, but whose consequences resonate even more strongly to this day.

[wwee-firs]

As a Korean, I've never seen such a good video for foreigners to understand the Korean War. It is the best video for foreigners to understand the Korean War. I wish the sequel would be made soon, too!

[sonyakinsey]

Such a good video. I lived in Seoul, Korea, directly south of the DMZ, through the 60th anniversary of the war. The train from the mainland to the Incheon airport was lined with the flags of all the nations who contributed troops and aid to the war with text thanking them. I heard some testimony from those who survived the war as children, including initial attacks. It was always very sobering.

영상이 전체적으로 정확하게 제작된 것 같습니다. 한국전쟁의 진행상황을 일목요연하게 이해하는 데 많은 도움이 될 것 같습니다.

[NoahWeaverRacing]

The quality of this channel is unbelievable, I remember watching the videos from a long time ago even then and thinking man this is good quality but now it’s unbelievable what y’all can do with the maps! 100% like!
