Some the best pacific film I've seen. This is what they called "the raggedy-ass Marines". I have heard that chocolate bars formulated for the Pacific theater tasted aweful. Did these men enjoy these?

My 2X great aunts husband was there. He was shot immediately upon landing and had to lay on the beach waiting for rescue for hours. He was more upset about dropping his weapon, than he was getting shot.

Fascinating documentary, the Greatest Generation. Col. Shoup was a very wise man. Narration cuts out during the last 3-4 minutes.

If doron stopped 45 ACP I suppose it is perfectly adequate for long range engagements. Probably felt a lot better here too

Theres a reason why all the krauts ran west rather than stay to face to soviets. We believe in justice, not vegance.

I thought the M48A3 entered service nearer the mid 60s? Correct me if I am wrong

@lunabobles4526 4 күн бұрын

the m48a3 entered service in 1963 though i think they were testing it before they entered service, though the m48a2 which is practically the same tank entered service in 1955 so it could be a mistake in the training film

@@lunabobles4526 These are certainly not M68A2s, they have the A3 running gear and the added visivility ports under the commanders turret. The engine deck looks similar but thats the only similarity

Love the WIDE-MED-CU shots! As a camera guy I appreciate what they did filming these scenes. Drill scene, sailor and Marine sharing a smoke.

I thought is was interesting the the camera team noted the dual wheeled truck. Maybe they had not seen a deuce and a half yet. Great video.

If the people whining about the title had been there they wouldn’t be complaining. I wouldn’t think of using that term to describe a Japanese person today. The Japanese people those Marines fought were very different people. Amazing footage. Thanks for posting.

Mines, etc., were much better hidden than shown in this video. And the markings, 3 sticks, changed constantly. Also there were many fake markings. You never walked on their trails or roads but stayed in the jungle. VC and NVA scavenged unexploded bombs and shells. Scooped out the explosive and made German type hand grenades. Because they scavenged, AK magazines were left on dead VC with one round with explosives that would fire with such force it would break the bolt lugs and force the bolt out the back of the rifle and (hopefully) thru the head of the VC. Also doctored motor rounds were left to be found that would explode when dropped into the tube, killing the crew. Called Eldest Son or Elder Son, it was so wide spread, the enemy thought they had an ammo problem. Captured documents sometimes commented on the ammo problem. US and allied personnel got routine notices warning not to shoot captured ammo as part of the ruse. Generally if you shook the round and didn't hear gun powder, don't use it.

One of the most controversial and criticiced pacific american operation of wwll, after this terrible battle Peleliu was not use for the US air in the invasión of philiphines so it was clear that sadly was an unnecesary lost of many lives in both sides

I'm reading a story about PV-1 squadron stationed there right now. Miserable, stinky, hot place with not a twig standing to get any relief from the sun. Those dark guys were natives recruited from neighboring islands. The commander also had the female natives who worked there wear Navy t-shirts to cover up since they wore no tops normally.

These people are most likely Koreans conscripted into the Japanese military. Japanese almost never surrendered. Also that one guy who waves and smiles into the camera is absolutely not Japanese. No Japanese at that time ever would have done that, just way, way outside of their shame culture or "haji bunka".
