Displaced children during the Korean War
Captured in a single moment, this Korean girl and her baby brother are the portrait of terror and dislocation that haunts every war. The girl wanders, her baby brother strapped to her back, seeking refuge and family amidst the chaos and uncertainty of the Korean conflict. This poignant image serves as a powerful reminder of the devastating impact of war on innocent civilians, uprooted from their homes and forced to flee in search of safety and security.
A battered German town
A war is a collection of many battles, with this snapshot representing a mere glimpse into the kind of devastation unleashed upon a German town by American forces who, through sheer determination, eventually gained control. Entire cities were reduced to rubble: nearly 80% of Würzburg was wiped out, while other major cities such as Berlin, Dresden, and Hamburg suffered similar fates.
On average, a staggering 40% of dwellings in larger urban centers were obliterated. As a grim testament to the horrors of war, an estimated 410,000 people perished as a result of air raids, and seven million people were stripped of their homes. Consequently, in 1946, the population of several German cities was significantly lower (in absolute terms) than it had been in 1939.
German POWs Captured by Americans
In the throes of World War II, the government of the United Kingdom begged the United States to assist with the influx of prisoners of war due to a dire housing shortage in Britain, requesting that America take in 175,000 prisoners. The United States reluctantly agreed, despite its lack of preparation. The country's military had only limited experience with POW populations in the previous world war and was entirely unprepared for the most basic logistical considerations, such as the food, clothing, and housing requirements of the prisoners.
The majority of German-speaking Americans were already deployed overseas, directly engaged in combat efforts. The American government feared that the presence of Germans on U.S. soil would cause a security problem and trigger fear among civilians.
Nevertheless, nearly 400,000 German war prisoners arrived on American shores between 1942 and 1945, after their capture in Europe and North Africa. They were housed in U.S. Army barracks and hastily constructed camps across the country, with a particular focus on the South and Southwest.
Choppers providing cover
Captured here are helicopters belonging to the United States armed forces. They are giving cover to these South Vietnamese ground troops who are attempting to make it into a Viet Cong camp. The camp was situated close to the Cambodian outskirt and these choppers are trying to help them get there.
When in doubt scorch the earth to limit your enemy’s movements
In efforts to prevent Germans troops from descending on a particular town, U.S. Engineers would often have to destroy property - in this case a bridge. This “scorched earth” defensive strategy also gave them a geographic advantage. By destroying an entry point they could force them into a choke point. Pictured here is the blast, with wooden bridge particles splintering everywhere.
Camouflage is an ever evolving art form in battle
At the El Guettar Valley fight between Germany and America in 1943, these soldiers are attempting to camouflage themselves and that massive weapon of mass destruction they’re toting. Obviously, how successfully they blend into the scenery depends on where the enemy is coming from. These attempts only led to more developments of modern camouflaging techniques used today.
Operations happened on the fly during the Vietnam War
Medical tents and operating rooms just kind of happened wherever they could. As you can see from this photograph, sometimes that meant surgeries took place with medics thigh deep in water. This particular scene shows an impromptu mangrove operating room on the Ca Mau Peninsula.
Sometimes laughter is the best medicine
Americans made phantom armies to trick the Germans
During World War II, US soldiers were playing a game of deception against the Germans. The strategy was simple: make the enemy see what isn't really there. In a brilliant operation known as Fortitude, American soldiers created an army of dummy tanks, a cunning ruse that kept the enemy guessing about their real position. But it was the Ghost Army that took the art of deception to the next level, outsmarting the forces of Nazi Germany by simulating a force 30 times its size.
This top-secret unit of 1,100 American artists, designers, and sound engineers staged elaborate ruses close to the front lines. Their inflatable decoys, fake radio chatter, and sound effects made the enemy think they were facing a much larger force. The Ghost Army saved the lives of thousands of American servicemen and earned one of the country's highest civilian honors. As one U.S. Army report stated, "Rarely, if ever, has there been a group of such a few men which had so great an influence on the outcome of a major military campaign."
Evacuation in Vietnam
The Fall of Saigon was a bitter pill to swallow, a reckoning of sorts for American involvement in the Vietnam War. The images of the chaotic Operation Frequent Wind, the final phase of the evacuation of American civilians and Vietnamese at risk from Saigon, were seared into the collective consciousness.
Over 7,000 people were evacuated by helicopter, and more than 50,000 people were airlifted from Tan Son Nhut in fixed-wing operations. Marine pilots, with their signature cool under fire, flew over 1,000 hours and completed 682 sorties during the operation. The evacuation from the DAO compound took nine hours and involved over 50 Marine Corps and Air Force helicopters. While the operation itself was a success, it was a painful reminder of the futility of American involvement in Vietnam, a tragedy that President Ford later lamented as "a sad and tragic period in America's history."
Coca Cola is a priority
America's obsession with Coca-Cola was as strong as ever by the time they jumped into World War II. It was a vital organ of American life, a symbol of the people's priorities, and nobody was going to let a pesky little thing like war come between them and their drink. So, when a bottling plant was established in Saipan to help quench the troops' cravings, it was a godsend.
Coca-Cola Company President Robert W. Woodruff, a true visionary, declared that any American in uniform could get a Coke for 5¢, regardless of the listed price or cost of production. But for the men serving overseas, a soda fountain had become a foreign concept. That was, until 1943 when Gen. Dwight Eisenhower had a stroke of genius and sought to make the soda available to his soldiers as close to the battlefront as possible.
In an attempt to raise and maintain morale, Eisenhower sent an urgent telegram to the States requesting three million bottled Cokes to be shipped to North Africa. At that time, he was serving as the Supreme Commander Allied Expeditionary Force, and he knew what his men needed. He needed the equipment and supplies to wash, refill, bottle, and cap that same amount twice monthly without, of course, displacing necessary military cargo. And once Army Chief of Staff George C. Marshall gave the green light, the Coca-Cola Company was more than happy to comply with Eisenhower's orders.
Treated as a wartime necessity, the Coca-Cola bottling plants established near the front lines were allotted considerably larger sugar rations than the half-share allowed to the company for production of the beverages intended for civilian consumption in the States. The Cola Wars were in full swing, and nobody could deny the allure of that effervescent beverage, not even in the face of war.
But once the bottling plants were installed overseas, the next issue was maintaining the makeshift factories without sacrificing necessary military manpower. As a solution, the Coca-Cola Company sent 148 of its employees abroad to oversee the installation and management of the plants. These men were given US Army uniforms with the rank of Technical Observer and were treated as officers, even though they had no military duties to speak of. It was a clever move, and it helped keep the troops happy and hydrated.
The U.S. disarmed German planes
Depicted here is the aftermath of a U.S. pilot taking out German bombs. The Germans had V-1 Missiles as part of their standard issued ammunition. However, in equal parts cleverness, precision, and hilarity, U.S. pilots became highly skilled at using the tips of their plane’s wings to knock these bombs down. They’d just send them crashing straight down into German occupied territories.
WWII Photographers reporting for duty
With the shocking images war-photography provides, the person on the other side of the lens is often forgotten. Pictured here are five photographers posing in front of Pappy’s Pram before reporting for duty in the battlefields of WWII. These men, St. James Hinkle (VA), Sgt. Robert Hammerberg (IL), Sgt. Frank Udovich (WI), Sgt. Charles A. Smith (TX), and St. Wilbur DeGroff (WI), have been on a total of 50 missions since operations began during WWII. These were not just any missions, mind you, but hair-raising, death-defying, war-time escapades that would make your blood run cold. These men have seen things that would make the average Joe's head spin, and they've come out the other side, hardened and battle-scarred. These collectors of moments are just some of who we have to thank for the glimpses of history.
Go Denmark!
Denmark was one of the few countries who decided to help save and harbor Jews escaping from the Nazis during World War II, despite the associated risks. Thousands of innocent lives were saved because of the heroic efforts made to stand up against the Germans.
Pay Raise
The soldiers who were being paid to be a part of the war experienced a major salary increase between 1941 and 1942. In 1942, the salary was increased by more than 235%; it went from $21 a month to $50.
Massive Kidnapping
The Nazis killed millions of Poles, but decided to kidnap approximately 50,000 Polish babies who ‘looked’ German. Those babies and children were adopted by German parents in order to be ‘Germanized’.
Italy in ruins WWII
Behold, a photograph of American servicemen driving down the ravaged streets of an Italian town destroyed by the unrelenting brutality of WWII. This photograph, taken in May of 1944, shows the Allies at Anzio linking up with Allies from south Italy, a moment that would be forever seared into the history books.
The total ruin of Italy elicited mixed emotions on both sides, a haunting reminder of the viciousness of war. The decision to lay waste to Italy is one of the most hotly debated topics of the war itself. Yet, in the end, it proved to be a tactical mistake, a misstep that would have disastrous consequences for the Allies.
As the German forces hid in the rubble, they occupied and fortified the site, turning the once-beautiful town into a bloody battleground. Subsequent Allied assaults up the mountain achieved little, despite heavy casualties. It wasn't until Polish troops arrived on the scene that things began to turn around. On May 18, 1944, five months into the bloody campaign and four months after the monastery was leveled, they finally captured Monte Cassino, a victory hard-won but ultimately worth the sacrifice.
U.S. Marines on Red Beach at Da Nang
The United States Marines captured in this image had just hit the shores of Red Beach at Da Nang, battle-ready and eager for action. Their mission? To march three miles south and reinforce the South Vietnamese air base, which was under attack by fierce guerrilla combatants.
The air base was a strategic target, and the US knew they couldn't let it fall. So, with the arrival of the Marines and the escalation of the air campaign, America's military role in Vietnam crossed the line from advise and assist to full-blown offensive warfare. It was a bold move, but one that they felt was necessary to eliminate the threat and secure their position. These men were at the forefront of a dangerous, bloody conflict, and their bravery and sacrifice would be remembered for years to come.
Yokohama
Yokohama, a city torn apart by war, suffered multiple aerial bombings between April 1942 and August 1945. But this wasn't the first time the city had been ravaged. Back in 1923, the Great Kantō earthquake had already reduced much of Yokohama to rubble. They rebuilt, rising from the ashes, only to have the war destroy it all over again. It was a cruel twist of fate, a nightmare that nobody could have foreseen.
The photograph captures a resident among the scattered remnants of what was once his home, a poignant reminder of the human cost of war. But the people of Yokohama are nothing if not resilient, and they refused to be defeated. They pushed forward, rebuilding their shattered city despite the obstacles in their way.
But reconstruction was hampered by the U.S. occupation of Japan from 1945 to 1952. The pace of rebuilding quickened in the 1950s, but the scars of the war would never fully heal. The population, which had been reduced to a mere fraction of what it was in 1943, slowly began to grow again in the early postwar years. It was a long, hard road to recovery, but the people of Yokohama proved that nothing could break their spirit.
A glimpse of the chaos during Vietnam
The chaotic scene pictured here consists of a sergeant attempting to guide the medical evacuation plane to a sheltered spot to land in. As is evident in the photo, there are a large number of injured troops in need of medical attention. Those who can walk freely are helping their fallen friends get to the medics.
The USS Arizona
December 7th, 1941, a day that will forever live in infamy. It was the day Pearl Harbor was attacked, a day that changed the course of history. This photograph captures just a taste of the resulting destruction, a haunting reminder of the horrors of war.
The USS Arizona, a battleship that had weathered many a storm, was no match for the fury of the Japanese bombs. Four times it was struck, four times it was pummeled, until it sank beneath the waves.
For nearly two hours, over 350 Japanese aircraft rained bombs on the U.S. vessels, causing chaos and destruction in their wake. At approximately 8:10 AM, the Arizona was struck by a 1,760-pound projectile, a blow that would prove fatal. The impact caused munitions and fuels to ignite, creating a massive explosion that reportedly lifted the battleship out of the water. It was a scene straight out of hell.
As the Arizona sank, it was struck by more bombs, a relentless assault that seemed to have no end. Some claimed that the ship was also hit by torpedoes, though no evidence was found to support that assertion. In the end, only 334 crew members survived, a mere fraction of those who had served on board.
The death toll on the Arizona was staggering, with more than 1,170 crewmen losing their lives that day. But their sacrifice was not in vain. The Arizona is commemorated by a concrete memorial that spans the wreckage, a fitting tribute to those who gave their all in service to their country. It serves as a reminder of the bravery and heroism of those who fought and died for freedom.
Ammunition Dumps
Pictured here is just a peek at the weapons stash the U.S. government has in times of war. This particular image is of two servicemen handling the weapons stock during World War II. As you can see, there were hundreds of bombs (among other weapons) stockpiled in Ammunition Dumps just like this one.
Hitler's headquarters and personal sanctuary
Behold, Hitler's long-time sanctuary, Berghof, a place of unspeakable evil and darkness. For ten long years, it served as a club house for a madman, a place where he plotted and schemed his way to power. But it wasn't just a den of iniquity. It also served as one of his headquarters during the war, a place where he planned his campaigns and issued his orders.
But in April 1945, the British put an end to the madness, bombing Berghof to smithereens just five days before Hitler committed suicide. The place was left in ruins, a testament to the destruction wrought by war. And if that wasn't enough, the retreating SS Troops burned what was left to the ground, a final act of defiance against the forces of good.
But the story of Berghof doesn't end there. The ruins were leveled in 1952, and trees were planted on the site, a symbol of hope and renewal. And deep beneath the earth, an elevator cut in solid rock still connects with Hitler's private retreat on top of the mountain, the "Eagle's Nest," a place of unspeakable horror. Today, the Eagle's Nest has been transformed into a teahouse, a place where people come to remember and reflect on the atrocities of the past. It is a reminder that we must never forget the lessons of history, lest we repeat the mistakes of the past.
Viet Cong prisoner during the Battle of Cape Batangan
In 1965 United States Marines and South Vietnamese forces stormed the Batangan Peninsula in what was called Operation Piranha. Allied forces claimed the lives of 200 during this operation. Pictured here is a Viet Cong prisoner captured during the Battle of Cape Batangan. With his hands bound and blindfolded, he awaited transfer to the U.S. POW Compound.
United States Marines in Saigon
Behold, the U.S. Marines, arriving with guns blazing, rushing to secure the perimeter of the Defense Attache Office in Tan Son Nhut in Saigon. Their mission was clear: to lock down the area and evacuate every remaining American left in Saigon. The stakes were high, and the pressure was on.
By April 27, Saigon was surrounded by 100,000 North Vietnamese troops, an overwhelming force that left little room for doubt. The situation was dire, and there was little time left to spare. U.S. citizens were being evacuated, and Vietnamese were clamoring to get on the helicopters, desperate for a way out. Operation Frequent Wind did evacuate 7,000 people, but they were only a fraction of those with reason to fear the North Vietnamese. Desperate people tried to get aboard overcrowded boats on the Saigon River, hoping against hope for a chance at escape. The North Vietnamese did not stand in their way, letting them go with a cold indifference that was chilling to behold.
Wreckage in Poland during WWII
Pictured here is just a small glimpse at some of the immense damage Poland suffered during WWII. In addition to the loss of historical structures, they lost 20% of their population to the war, which made Poland the country with the highest casualty per capita. Pictured here are some dazed citizens roaming through the rubble. In 2019, on the 80th anniversary of the start of World War Two, Poland made a demand for compensation for their losses from Germany. Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki told a German paper:
We have lost six million people, many more than any other country that has received vast reparations. It is not fair. It cannot be this way. There is a lot to be analysed. The Germans razed to the ground over a thousand Polish villages. We will accurately determine the sum that we will demand.
American Air Cavalry airlifting supplies
Featured here are one of the American Air Cavalry helicopters dispatched during Operation Pegasus. It was the stuff of legends, a daring 20,000-man effort to relieve the U.S. Marines at the besieged combat base in Khe Sanh. This chopper was on a mission to airlift supplies into a Marine outpost, part of a grand strategy that would become the largest operation launched by III MAF so far in the conflict.
The 2nd Battalion, 1st Marine Regiment (2/1 Marines) and the 2/3 Marines would lead a ground assault from Ca Lu Combat Base, heading west on Route 9. At the same time, the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Brigades of the 1st Cavalry Division would air-assault key terrain features along Route 9 to establish fire support bases and cover the Marine advance. It was a plan that would require precision, coordination, and no small amount of courage.
As the Marines moved forward, they would be supported by 102 pieces of artillery, with the 11th Engineer Battalion on hand to repair the road as the advance pressed on. Later, the 1/1 Marines and 3rd ARVN Airborne Task Force (the 3rd, 6th, and 8th Airborne Battalions) would join the operation, bringing even more firepower and determination to the fight.
It was a risky gambit, but the rewards were worth it. The Marines at Khe Sanh were counting on their brothers in arms to come to their aid, to relieve them from the siege that threatened to overwhelm them.
Rebels being made an example in South Korea
In this photo, we see a motley crew of communist rebels being paraded through the community like a twisted carnival sideshow. They're led by the South Korean soldiers, a warning to anyone else even thinking of rebellion. It's a potent reminder that the forces of order will always prevail over the forces of chaos.
These men will soon face their day in court, but make no mistake - their fate is already sealed. The trial will be a mere formality, a charade meant to give the illusion of justice. But everyone knows what's coming next. There will be no mercy for these enemies of the state, no clemency for those who dared to defy the powers that be.
Rebels being arrested off the streets by South Korean soldiers
These three women, their faces etched with fear and uncertainty, are the latest casualties in a war that's raging just below the surface. They are communist detainees, marked for arrest and imprisonment by the South Korean soldiers who surround them like a pack of wolves.
The soldiers are a constant reminder of the power of the Rhee government, a warning to anyone who might dare to question their authority. These women were not the first to feel the weight of that authority, and they certainly weren't the last. For anyone foolish enough to even hint at rebellion, the consequences were clear: arrest, imprisonment, and worse.
The aftermath of the battle in Seoul
This chilling photograph captures the harrowing aftermath of a fierce battle that raged through the streets of Seoul, leaving behind a trail of destruction and devastation. The terrified onlookers huddle together, their faces a mask of fear and uncertainty, as they survey the carnage around them. In the midst of the rubble lies an injured companion, a tragic victim of the senseless violence that has ravaged their city. This haunting image serves as a stark reminder of the brutal toll that war extracts on innocent civilians caught in the crossfire.
Railroad tracks were rigged with explosives during the Korean War
Pictured here are some British Royal Marines on a railroad track in Songjin, South Korea, captured on April 13th, 1951. You can see them nonchalantly setting up some explosive charges on the tracks, no doubt anticipating the mayhem and chaos that will follow once the enemy troops arrive later that very same day.
The destruction of the city of Taejon
The camera captures a desolate scene of obliteration and chaos, a city of no return. This isn't just a few crumbling buildings here and there; this was once the bustling metropolis of Taejon, and it was razed to the ground. The cost of war, and the erasure of countless lives, heritage, and society as it once was, reduced to nothingness.
What remained of the village of Akok in 1950
Pulling even farther back, this photographer captured the aerial view of the village of Akok, which resided in the northern region of South Korea. Taken in August of 1950, this photograph shows billowing smoke from what was once a village and now the ruins of war. It speaks volumes of the damage that was done here.
People trying to escape over the damaged bridge in Pyongyang
This startling photograph is of the bridge in the capital city of Korea, Pyongyang. It had been badly damaged during the course of the war but as you can see, refugees from various corners of Korea all flocked there. They were desperately scrambling over the bridge in efforts to escape south of the Taedong River.
Chinese communists caught in disguise
Pictured here are a group of Chinese communist who went so far as to change their wardrobe to rags and American style footwear like tennis shoes, in efforts to disguise themselves. As you can see, their plan was foiled and they were still captured by U.S. marines.
Countless communists tried to disguise themselves and escape
The Yeosu-Suncheon rebellion: a tale of anti-government sentiment and armed opposition. In 1948, unrest in the South Jeolla province of South Korea boiled over, spilling into the cities of Yeosu and Suncheon and neighboring towns. Over 2,000 left-leaning soldiers raised arms against the Syngman Rhee regime, unhappy with the way the government had dealt with the Jeju Uprising, which had occurred only months before. What began in October, continued through November, and lingered on in pockets of resistance for nearly a decade.
Extreme security measures at a guerilla outpost
This is a photograph of a guerilla outpost located out on the Cambodia-Vietnam border. This particular border is not only protected by armed guards and barbed wire, but it also has poisoned bamboo stake, hardened by fire holding up that barbed wire and hidden in the ground. The poisoned stakes in the ground acted as booby traps for anyone who got beyond the fencing.
The city of Saint-Lô, France after WWII
This here is the aftermath of the Battle of Saint-Lô, the gut-wrenching centerpiece of the war's hedgerow trilogy. The Americans wanted Saint-Lô bad due to its strategic location so they went and bombed the living daylights out of it. Heavy casualties, blood-soaked streets, and a decimated cityscape made Saint-Lô the perfect poster child for destruction, earning the moniker "The Capital of Ruins". Survivors were left to fend for themselves in a wasteland of debris, as their homes, shops, and everything they knew were crushed to smithereens
Shedding old identities to escape
This unusual scene was captured near the outskirts of Saigon. The Army of the Republic of Vietnam would shed their uniforms, including their shoes in attempts to hide their identities from those who pose a threat. Drivers would be bombarded with pieces of shedded identities all along the road.
Early stages of the Vietnam War
The image captured here is a breathtaking and sinister view of the Vietnam War. The American jets dropped napalm over the Viet Cong outposts, unleashing a fiery and incendiary storm that ravaged everything in its path. The napalm, a viscous and lethal gel, clung to anything it touched, setting ablaze not only the enemy but also innocent civilians and their homes. It was a devastating tactic that burned deep into the memories of those who witnessed it.
Even young women were brought in as guerilla Viet Cong guards
The Ham Rong Bridge
This photograph was taken in 1973 and features the construction team tasked with repairing the Ham Rong Bridge in North Vietnam. The Ham Rong Bridge was badly damaged from multiple strategic bombings during the war. It was a target because it just so happens to have been the only way across the Ma River for all machinery and heavy trucks.
Women had to take on jobs usually reserved for men during times of war
In the midst of war, the traditional roles of men and women were blurred, as demonstrated in this photograph of women who took on the burdens of men. Without their husbands, who were drafted to fight in the Vietnam War, these women were left to care for their families and also perform work that was typically not within their realm. Here, these strong women are seen working together to provide food for their village, a task that was usually done by men.
Navy aircraft wreckage
The aftermath of war is captured in this photo where local militia members sift through the wreckage of an American plane that had been shot down by small-arms fire. The pilot had been flying at a dangerously low altitude to avoid radar detection. But as history has shown us, war can be unpredictable, and the unexpected is often the norm. The U.S. forces targeted Hanoi's industrial sites, hoping to cripple their economy, but alas, most industries had already moved out to the countryside.
The fall of South Vietnam
This photograph features a North Vietnamese tank rolling up through the Presidential Palace of Saigon. The rugged machinery is such a strange contrast to the fancy gates behind it. It's highly symbolic of the destruction of beauty that war brings and the photograph itself represents the fall of South Vietnam in April 1975.
North Vietnamese Army fleeing
This chaotic imagery is of members of the North Vietnamese Army in southern Laos attempting to flee during Operation Lam Son 719. This operation was the South’s failed attempt to cut off access to the Ho Chi Minh Trail in all directions.
People at the gates of the United States Embassy in South Vietnam
This photograph has captured the sense of urgency, the desperation of the people in South Vietnam during the war. This is the gate of the United States Embassy in South Vietnam. As can be seen here, hundreds of people were crowding the streets right outside, desperate to get over the gates to leave the country on the last few helicopters.
Korean communists arrested at sea
This picture was taken on May 10, 1951. In it, are three Korean communists who were attempting to escape to safer lands. Unfortunately for them they were spotted before they could get very far and captured by the USS Manchester in a fishing boat just off the coast of Korea.
North Koreans hiding in a tunnel
After word got back that North Koreans had taken cover inside a Seoul tunnel, a grenade was thrown inside to... tie up loose ends. Pictured here are soldiers armed with machine guns securing the tunnel’s entrance. Much like the idea behind smoking out a fox hole, they wait to make sure their enemies don't escape.
A flock of Paratroopers for backup in Korea
No, those little specks in the air are not a flock of birds. If an area needs additional backup, which was the case here in Korea, paratroopers would be dropped in ready to assist their comrades. This particular shot was captured near the South Korean towns of Sunchon and Sukchon.
Counting down the days until the Korean war is over
This touching photo has captured the moment these four United States marines read an official handout informing them of an armistice to end the Korean War which was going to be signed at Panmunjom. You can tell by the smiles on their faces they were counting down the days in their heads, to July 26th, 1953.
An Enemy Tank Crashes, 1950
Enemy troopers created various traps during the Korean War, and delays to stall their counterparts. Near Seoul, South Korea, an enemy tank can be seen crashing through a roadblock put in place by enemy troopers.
Soldiers Search Homes in Hwangju
During the drive to Pyongyang, North Korea, British and America soldiers stop to search through houses in Hwangju. The soldiers were constantly on the lookout for their counterparts and rebels seeking refuge.
