May GOD BLESS this truly “SHEROE” courageous “ RIP..🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿

It seems that the United States is the only country that follows the Geneva Convention rules of combat.

Never underestimate brilliance!!

Nice to hear a little girl who is NOT an arrogant, brainwashed feminist.

Who was the "incredibly stupid one"? The Vietnamese who believed that the American public would believe what the GIs said under intense to**re or Hegdahl? The Yanks gave it as much credence as Salem testimonies from the 1600s of witches turning into rabbits at the Witching Hour.

A horrible war in which the U.S. was the bad guy. Let's thank the incredible insightful leaders of North Vietnam to turn an enemy into a close ally

Read the book and was amazed by what he did. What a hero. Im a native of saipan

Doug was one of the instructors at SERE when I went through. Once we were "captured" and went into the resistance lab, he was the political indoctrination officer. We had no idea who he was until we were in our debrief. We were in disbelief when we were told what he endured. He outsmarted North Vietnam! He told us at the debrief that one day when he was sweeping he got locked out of the Hanoi Hilton, when the wind blew the door shut. There he was basically free, but being a tall white guy he had no where to go. So, he knocked on the door and the shocked guard let him back in.

What a good and fine sailor he was! It is sad that he was called a traitor, but not everyone takes the time to hear the whole story. Some people just like to get angry, and stay angry so that is their problem. Doug was really very clever to act so stupid! It worked and worked well! So sad that he was never awarded any medal, but true heroes never seek reward, only sweet achievements, to keep in their hearts as the success of their lives. Well done, sailor!

We grew up around an hour east of the dunes. I thought of it as “our ocean”. Several years later I flew from Detroit to Kansas City. From the air you could see the whole width of Lake Michigan and the dunes.

Sounds to me like the ones on the ship he was on are the morons.

Dick Stratton.was the POW who blinked T O R T U R E during his 'interview' in front of an antiwar TV crew...

THIS NARRATION IS TERRIBLE AND RUINS THE VIDEO. MOST WOMEN LACK THE GRAVITAS TO COMMENT ON A VIDEO LIKE THIS.

Fxxk Coventry assignment❤

Very interesting

An incredible story about how easy it is to fool Communists or any other type of brain-washed Totalitarian. From an older comment: "At 6:50 in the video a photo was shown which was said to be Col. Hervey Stockman. This is incorrect. The photo at 6:50 is 1LT James Milton Jefferson."

The Warrior not only captured but saved Generations👋😎🙏💪☝️👍🇺🇲

The photos aren't even TULSA!!! BTW, according to Gen. "Black Jack" Pershing, there were NO US NEGRO SOLDIERS in WWI or until 1925. The FRENCH had 20-odd battalions ( maybe 10,000) of American Negro soldiers, just like their Foreign Legions. Americans who served in the French Legions LOST THIER CITIZENSHIP! The Lafayette Escadrille pilots that refused to join the US Army Flying Corps, also lost their citizenship.

I am amazed that this Documentry has not recieved more views !

RIP Eugene, you were a true hero

7:16 Features Tom Hayden (who will be married to Jane Fonda) and Rennie Davis. Both Marxists and defendants in the Chicago 7 conspiracy trial three years later. That was back when insurrections were cool with "progressives".

Excellent look at a horrendous event.

❤❤❤. 2023. Evergreen by Naomi Hirahara. 1947. Japanese Americans are released from camps and sent to Chicago and return to LIttle Tokyo and find Bronzville black community. The Jewish community move out of Boyle heights , the mob, the KKK , the 100/442 Japanese American soldiers and Hammer Japanese American Zoot Suiter from Chicago. Great read of Los Angeles history. A play would be great or movie. Enjoy. 😢

He should have gotten medal of honor for all the lives he saved!

i wish I could have understood the audio. Between the pitch of the kid's voice and the "Sounds of Silence," it was insufferable. Where can I go to find out more?

I wonder if Hegdahl was honorably promoted to E5 after his release from captivity. The initial photo of him shows a PO Second Class rank on his uniform. According to the copy of the handwritten witness statement by a crew member of the USS Canberra, Hegdahl was an "SA" (Seaman Apprentice) with is an E2.

I'm late to the party by four years but I have to say what an excellent job you did on this. By now you are out if high school or nearly so. Best of luck to you, my fellow American. God bless you in all you do.

Stop calling people by their last names. Call them by their first names.

The kindness of color by Janice Munimetsu. 1942. Mexicano and Japanese farmers. These families responsible for Westminster v Mendez ❤❤❤

The narrator is a ten-year old girl?

Why couldn’t they make a trade and send them Jane Fonda

An excellent video of a real hero ruined by unnecessarily LOUD and distracting music. Please upload this again, but drop the Simon and Garfunkel noise!

Awesome story Doug! And you’re not coward at all!

Interesting. I've read a number of works by Hannah Arendt, and am now reading ORIGINS OF TOTALITARIANISM. I am glad that he saved her life.

If you read Dara Horn's incredible book, "People Love Dead Jews", you will find an incredible chapter concerning Varian Fry and his mission. The reason I gave this video a "thumbs down" is not because of a dislike for Fry whom I deeply admire. Rather it's because the video does not address the awful and disrespectful treatment of Fry by those that he rescued. Due to their shame of needing to be "rescued", they never thanked Fry or even acknowledged his work. Nor did they help to raise money for future humanitarian work, even though many of these artists and intellectuals became quite wealthy. Many of these artists and intellectuals truly were self-absorbed elitists and snobs...the exact reason why sadly, so many people hate intellectuals. In the end, Fry wondered if maybe the "ordinary" people who were not rescued, and thus perished, were the best example of Western culture; not the self-absorbed elitists who were saved.

GLORIFIED RACE MIXING!!! 😝

Wait a minute I thought the nazi's objective was to rid of non-desireables...why would they put these intellectuals on the list too? They make no sense. Plus what doesn't add up is why the US would alli with Britain to stop the Nazi regime only later to smuggle some of the most demented ones into our country ? Unless there were more than one power working simultaneously. These werent men committing all this violence Hitler was using experimental drugs on them, which is why they had no emotion and could do such things. All People should be saved of course regardless of their reputations

Always that ubiquitous crap (pathetic) music put too loud that make it hard to listen the narration which in this case it's made difficult to begin with because it is carried on by kids. The music these days is really begining to became a real damnation, since it is forced everywhere.

Unbelievable what happened to those children that is sick and that's my home state which I was taken out when I was a baby

Did the Brown eyed children commit more violent crime?

'Promo SM'
