The UN forces are withdrawn this week across the Naktong River into a new defensive zone in the Southeast corner of the Peninsula- the Pusan Perimeter, but already as the week begins they are in great danger from the right hook near the coast by the North Korean 6th Division, that threatens to upend everything, taking Chinju and aiming for Masan. There are also machinations afoot with the Chinese in Taiwan, and the fear that a larger war could erupt if things aren’t handled right concerning the Chinese; it’s a week full of tension.

Spartacus will be covering the early war atrocities of the Korean War in a special episode in the coming weeks.

Some of those refugees who fled south all the way to Busan were both my paternal grandmother and grandfather and their families. They were 8 and 10 when the war started, and are alive and well today. I was able to live with and talk with them when I went back to Korea for an exchange semester earlier this year, and was able to ask questions about the Korean War, their experiences in it, and their recollection of the war. My grandfather lost an older brother who was in the ROK army during the initial retreat south. Crazy to think that my grandparents went through this, and that they've lived through the whole history of the ROK from start to the present day, and experienced first hand the huge changes it went through from a war ravaged, extremely poor country to what South Korea is today. They are living reminders of the fact this war didn't happen that long ago, and im just struck by a really profound feeling that the history that is covered in this video is relatable, tangible, and in living memory.
My maternal great-grandmother was separated from her family at some point, who originally lived north of the 38th parallel, and apparently still had siblings and family members in the North well after the armistice, according to what my grandmother and mother told me some years ago when my great gran passed away. So this series and the parts that focus on the civilian, human tragedy of this war really hits really close to home.
And im sure every Korean still has living connections to the war, whether or not they still live in Korea or moved abroad.
Would it be too much to ask for a North Korean logistics video? Not sure if theres enough information out there for that. But this would be appreciated.
Wasnt Gen Gay Pattons ADC or something in WW2?
Excellent, Indy. Thank you.
communism will win
Interesting battle map, made of parts of maps.
I better hurry up and watch this video before YouTube censors it.
Why no credit to the Marines in this early fighting?
Hi Indy
Ankther wonderful week fill of information about korean war.
Thanks.
Masterful storytelling, as every Indy.
Macarthur: I love saying and doing things that make people freak out. If only Twitter, or X, had been around in 1950, I'd always be trending.
My grandfather was a medic on the 38th parallel in 52 and 53. The few stories i managed to get from him were all interesting. I remember one story where an artillery crew were smoking cigarettes near their ammo and blew a crater 50 feet in diameter. He said he was collecting body parts for days. After that he said it became mechanical in how you thought and operated. I miss my grandfather dearly 😢
I’m now rewatching The Great War, finishing WW2, and enjoying Korea greatly. This is the first of your series where I don’t know very much about it, and I must say it’s been a fascinating disaster so far!
"Lost" is an interesting way to spell "murdered", Mr. Appleman. 8:50
There's no way this "Chromite" plan is going to work.
indy has gotten really old since 1914
8:00 My Great Uncle was at this bridge, he said they didn't understand their warnings, they kept coming no matter what.
The blown bridge at Wa-gon was still in the water as the picture show in 1985. When I was at Camp Carroll in Wa-gon.
My uncle Seymour Greenberg served in WW2 and Korea. He used to say Korea was much worse because of the severe cold weather and mountains. He flew b17’s and b29’s as a navigator. He was proud to have bombed the shxt out of the Japs in WW2. He also said he bombed the shxt out of the commies in Korea. From Korea he suffered from frozen feet the rest of his life. RIP uncle Seymour. 🇺🇸🇺🇸
Getting everything just so so that you can turn things around is definitely tricky.
Seems like they'll be able to do it, though.
Brilliant !
We're on mission 1 of almost every Ace Combat game
Wow, has it really been ten years i've been following you? It seems surreal. My daughter was born in February 2014, five or six months before you started The Great War. She's not far off starting high school. You people are simply awesome ❤️❤️❤️
Minute 09:30 – the 25th US Army’s division is a storied one: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/25th_Infantry_Division_(United_States)
Not sure if I missed it but did you guys cover the Chinese revolution? If not, I think it would be very critical in understanding the context of the Korean War.
My grandfather joined the army using the Lodge Act to gain citizenship after fleeing the soviet union. His fathered died in a prison camp for being a White Army cavalry officer. Immediately after basic and AIT went to task force smith and to the pusan perimeter. Was a great man. Thank you for covering the forgotten war. 24th ID 11 bn, then 1st cav First in Korea To hell and back once, no more.
Asian politics is a bowl of spaghetti
Marco P….
Honestly… MacArthur is a rogue agent.
Hmm, it seems to me that MacArthur is somewhat dangerous and could make the war bigger. I guess we will have to see how this develops in the future
0:53 — a break in the timeline — the USA admits 2 more states to total 50.
Amazing episode
