German Reacts to 'The Korean War'

[@battenburg6089]

My grandad fought in Korea, as a naval gunner. He used to routinely tell me about his first encounter with a Russian Mig-15 or similar, and the shock on their faces of the speed and maneuverability of it. He really, really badly wanted to shoot it down but they had orders to just observe. His ship rescued a downed American B-29 crew, and became pen pals with the captain. But he also had terrible stories of bodies in rivers, seamines bumping against his ship, etc. He agreed like so many others its deemed a "Forgotten" War. Nobody really talks about it. It was full of American and Communist atrocity.

[@brilobox2]

He should be proud. He helped secure the South’s survival in the face of aggression and it became an economic and cultural powerhouse with rock solid ties while the north turned into a rotting dead fish on china’s doorstep.

[@ramal5708]

Mig-15s or communist aircraft were under strict orders in not flying over the seas around Korea, since there's big risk of US aircraft reinforcement coming from the carriers off shore or UN ships gunning down Mig-15s with their AAA, it's very rare to see Mig-15s heading or flying over the sea, since they would immediately turn back, that's the most preferred tactic of the underpowered UN aircraft to just fly over the sea and keep it that way and the chasing aircraft would turn back. I know this cause my great great uncle flew F4U Corsair in Korea from USS Boxer and met prowling Mig-15s over Korea, but they were too late to pounce on the vulnerable and slower Corsairs and when the Corsairs are over the water the Migs would immediately fly back.

Later in the Video Tommy realizes its much more complicated. Truman was the president. The same president who had dropped nukes on Japan. Russia had stolen the nuclear secrets and may have had a bomb of their own. Truman was an elected representative of the American people, who were tired of war! My parents told me how they worried my dad would need to serve in Korea. He was a ww2 vet. MacArthur openly contradicted the president a number of times to the press. Truman fired him! For good reason. In America the civil government is superior to the military! Its a mechanism to ensure our freedom. Korea was the first American limited war.

[@SonOfNone]

I'm genuinely curious if the number of atomic casualties would be equal to, greater than, or less than the former and aubsequent Kim regimes. Atomic bombs [not to be confused with hydrogen/plutonium bombs] were in the kilotons range at the time, compared to the dozens of megatons range we see today. They also don't have the fallout people think they do, it's quite minimal as far as longterm impact [Japan for example has no real issues from Little Boy and Fat Man bombings].

[@regarded9702]

"At this point America has nukes and Russia doesn't right?" Yeah MacArthur had some ideas along them lines

[@walnzell9328]

I think the US had upgraded their nukes from atomic bombs to hydrogen bombs by then. If MacArthur had nuked China, the radiation would leave a large area uninhabitable for a long while. Possibly still uninhabitable to this day.

[@TrueXyrael]

General MacArthur was also singularly responsible for keeping the US military segregated. While the military was officially desegregated in 1948, MacArthur would refuse to integrate any units while he lead the military. The man that replaced him, Ridgeway, was openly pro-integration and called for integration of units, but that wouldn't start taking effect in Korea until 1953.

MacArthur never pressured president Truman to use Nukes on North Korean soil. Truman publicly stated that he MacArthur wanted to use them and was made to recant it due to it being knowingly false. He admitted to it being his opinion of what he thought MacArthur wanted. Moreover MacArthur never was “insubordinate” under military law according to the Joint Chiefs of staff at the time since MacArthur never disobeyed the orders given to him in the war. He was fired for basically speaking publicly on governmental policy as a military officer which went against a presidential order on that very thing.

[@thesaturdaytechchannelwith553]

8:30 I could be wrong but Mercenaries are treated like partisans or guerrilla fighters (irregular forces) in that they not regular army units means they are not covered by the Geneva convention thus if they're captured then they can't legally be granted any protections therefore they can legally be tortured and/or killed in addition to be being starved with no basic prison rights. So mercenaries and partisans can be used in warfare but it's not recommended as they cannot be protected by any legal protections as their existence is a violation of the Geneva convention (depending on how the Mercenaries are used of course) and of course both are not recommended as they can easily complicate and rapidly yet unnecessarily accelerate perfectly preventable horrific situations in a war/s.

Yet the US bombed chinese territory behind the Yalu river. Mao and stalin had alot of conversations about that and Mao felt that the US/UN keeps going. For them the only chance to dismiss such thoughts was to help the Koreans. All this troops were volunteers btw and Maos son literally went in aswell, i think he died even there.

If a “Second Korean War” breaks out tomorrow… the North would get smacked even before US troops start arriving. The most technologically advanced Aircraft they have is a single squadron of MiG-29’s they got in the 90’s. The rest are MiG-21’s (or the Chinesium copy), MiG-19’s and MiG-15’s. ROKAF operates F-16’s, F-15’s, F-35’s, indigenous designed light fighters in addition to the Vintage F-5’s for Light ground attack roles. The war won’t be very good for South Korea economically, and Seoul would get shelled (the damage is always overestimated, as only Rocket Assisted projectiles can reach the urban centers). The North Korean SAM networks are also exclusively old soviet crap. North Korea’s most modern tank is a stretched an Elongated T-62 with a 125mm 2A46 (or Chinese equivalent) and some bolted on Composite armor with ERA. Does have a CITV for the commander and a laser rangefinder.+Gunners thermals. These are likely to be Gen 2. They don’t have many of these either. South Korea has upwards of a thousand K1 (based off the XM1 design) K1A1 (Upgraded with a 120mm main gun and several other improvements, similar to M1A1) and now the K2 Black Panther. Which is one of the best MBT’s in the world. 120mm L/55, 3rd Gen Therms for both Gunner and Commander. Hydro pneumatic suspension and many other improvements that put it well above every North Korean tank. They also have waaaaayyyy more of them than North Korea. This isn’t even mentioning Morale, the fact that many NK soldiers are already starving and almost non-existent Officer corp and logistics on the NK side. Their only hope is China… and even China isn’t interested in dealing with another war and would likely force Kim to retreat behind the DMZ. That’s why, if North Korea manages to start fielding nukes… we should set up a Nuke sharing program with South Korea until they can manage to produce and field their own. North Korea is the last “country” you would want to see get their hands on Nukes… as they are unpredictable, extremely brainwashed and likely national-y suicidal.

The soviets actually didn’t get involved on the communist side surprisingly so I’m not sure that would count

[@dylantheelephant]

The World War 2 channel is great ,sadly tommy probably cant watch a lot of it because it shows a lot of gore and shit

[@BussyPatrol]

Its funny tommy brings up russias veto for a Ukraine intervention since the korean war only happened since the soviets were protesting the UN and the security council got it through with them absent

[@Gamesick-go9sr]

rising storm 3 should be korean war

[@blakeoverton7657]

Nukes will help us in a war untill you see your own citys getting nuked lol 😂

[@revvyishonisd5027]

Imagine storming Normandy to stop the Germans from stopping the soviets, and then a few years later storming the beaches of Korea to stop the soviets lol. Prolly should have let the Germans take care of the soviets and then just negotiated peace after that, and avoided the entire Cold War lol.

[@불루재이]

6:30 "South Korea got wrecked by underequipped Norks". Is this guy dumb? Why has this narrative spread that NORKS were underequipped? SK had no tanks, no anti tanks and were severely less equipped and had much less manpower than North Korea.

[@rarescevei8268]

They had tanks and anti tank weapons, problem was that at the initial phase of the war, South Korean response was extremeley slow. However, yes, the North Koreans were not underequipped

[@불루재이]

@@rarescevei8268 South Korea had no tanks and anti-tank weapons at the beginning of the war. May I ask where you got this information from?

[@rarescevei8268]

​@@불루재이They were not underequipped, the forces that did meet the North were. And with their retreat, the tanks they had were captured and the AT couldnt be used as they had no time to establish defensive lines.

The massive stockpile of guns, trucks, tanks, and airplanes the USA produced during WW2 was either sold, discarded, or not maintained. Cost-saving measures included huge drawdown in manpower. Veterans went back home, used the GI Bill to start a new life. The US units from Japan who initially landed in Korea were untrained, under-equipped, and not expecting war. The US wasn’t politically prepared for another mobilization. The workers unions went on strike, refusing to work longer for less pay during “peacetime.” Lack of steel greatly impacted the production of artillery shells and vehicles. The countries who supported South Korea each brought different weapons, which compounded logistical problems. The lessons of Korea led to NATO standardizing its weapons. It also created the military-industrial complex in the USA, for better or worse. Also top US generals learned not to oppose the executive branch after seeing Gen. MacArthur get sacked, which would affect how the Vietnam War and future wars were waged.

[@ATownDown32]

The reason china did so well during the war was cause the US and allies genuinely believed china would not get involved and all of a sudden they crossed the border launching an insane surprise attack outnumbering and overwhelming US and south Korean forces. South Korean lines broke , threating to encircle American and other forces so the entire allied force had to fall back. After that it basically became a stale mate of American tech versus Chinese numbers.

[@익명-q6x]

China did not do well. They just outnumbered. There was a saying "the number of chinese soldiers were more than the number of bullets UN had"

[@NeostormXLMAX]

@@익명-q6x you are wrong, the UN forces outnumbered the chinese in total, 700,000 vs only 300,000 initially

[@익명-q6x]

@@NeostormXLMAX what r u smokin bruh UN had 330,000 China had 700,000 to 800,000

[@rarescevei8268]

​​@@익명-q6xNo. The chinese forces that entered North Korea were in numbers of 300000. Reinforcements entered later. The stalemate took place when both sides were at around 700000 soilders, with the UN slightly outnumbering China. You are comparing the end of war Chinese forces with the UN forces at around the middle of the war. China was outnumbered initially

Russia have always been the bad guys. They were only against the Nazis in WW2 because they betrayed them.

[@kye4216]

@clouds I mean they’re done bad things that deserve criticism. But not to the level of the USSR and Russia
