British Documentary About the Korean War – Incheon Landings

» by in: Korean War

Episode 11 – Incheon Landings:

The Incheon landings of Operation Chromite effectively turns around the disaster for the UN forces. Former Japanese Naval crews (secretly) helped pilot the UN ships through Flying Fish Channel, as they were the only ones who had the technical knowledge to navigate warships through the dangerous channel and tides. Korean civillians bear the brunt: Sections of the city are totally destroyed, and South Korean soldiers shoot “anything that moved” according to Bert Hardy, a British journalist at the landings. In fact, these South Korean troops committed numerous “reprisal” killings.
