US Marines vs Chinese Human Waves at Chosin Reservoir (1950) 🇺🇸🇨🇳
Rare footage captures the brutal fighting as U.S. Marines of the 1st Marine Division faced massive Chinese People's Volunteer Army assaults in the freezing winter of 1950.
Chinese infantry surge across frozen ridgelines in human wave attacks, while Marines hold defensive positions with rifles, machine guns, and M26 Pershing tanks. Overhead, F4U Corsairs roar in to deliver vital close air support to Marines fighting against overwhelming odds.
One of the greatest stands in Marine Corps history.

Experimento
Es una edición patatera hecha en 1 minuto con mis escasísimos conocimientos, con el audio del video del recibimiento de la selección en Coruña, pero queria ver como quedaba una escena bélica de nuestros ejercitos al son de gaitas y tambores.

U.S. Marines are shown receiving Holy Communion on Iwo Jima on March 3, 1945.
This historic photograph, taken by Associated Press photographer Joe Rosenthal on March 3, 1945, depicts three U.S. Marines kneeling on the volcanic sands of Iwo Jima as they receive Communion from a chaplain.
The men identified in the image are Private First Class Edmond L. Fadel, Private Walter M. Sokowski, and Private Nicholas A. Zingaro, taking part in a Catholic Mass conducted during the fierce fighting near Motoyama Airfield. The image endures as a striking symbol of faith and humanity amid one of the bloodiest island battles of World War II.
“By far the most colorful and outspoken defendant… engaging manner, charm, and raw sense of humor… a very shrewd individual blessed with a keen intellect.”
Germany signed the WWI armistice in a French train carriage in 1918
22 years later, France lost to Germany in WWII
Hitler ordered that exact same train carriage to be taken out of a museum and brought back to the same spot just to make France sign there too.
Coldest revenge🔥
