Through the thick jungle canopy, Larry managed to locate the downed airman, who had climbed up into the trees. He lowered his Loach as far as possible, allowing the captain to wrap his arms around the skids and be lifted to safety.
With the co-pilot secured, Larry quickly located the pilot of the downed aircraft, Captain Joe Garzik. Within minutes, both airmen were en route to Camp Eagle—rescued from almost certain death in the jungles of Vietnam.
This wasn’t the only daring rescue this young pilot made during his two tours in Vietnam. He faced countless similar situations, saving the lives of many men. What’s more, despite his age, Larry survived more near-death experiences than most helicopter pilots in the war. And the most fascinating part? He came out of all of them without a scratch.
This is the story of the indestructible pilot, Larry Earles…

One of these American soldiers, Private First Class Dirk Vlug of the Red Arrow Division, a battle-hardened veteran of the New Guinea campaign, grabbed a bazooka and six rockets to pick a fight against the enemy tanks. With bullets zipping overhead from the Japanese machine guns, Vlug smirked to his comrades and said “the odds are even”...He dashed off to take on the enemy armor head to head…

Then, with the first glimpses of the morning sun, the eerie silence was broken by a deafening barrage of the Red Army artillery. For more than an hour, thousands of shells shook the ground, announcing the start of a fierce confrontation to come. Once the thunder stopped, Soviet tanks appeared through the smoke covered fields with Red Army infantry riding on top. Hundreds of them rolled toward German trenches, determined to crush everything in their path. What the Soviet’s didn’t know was that they were hurling straight into a death trap set by German Heavy Tank Battalions equipped with the Tiger tanks that were laying in wait, across the perfect open killing fields with their 88 main gun…

Colonel Merritt A. “Red Mike” Edson, commanding officer of the 1st Marine Raider Battalion, agreed. But from what direction? Pointing to a prominent ridge line on an aerial photograph, “Red Mike” softly whispered: “This looks like a good approach.”
Edson ran his finger along a ridge that was dominated by three hills. Protruding like a large fishhook, the slender hill mass provided the much-needed cover for the Japanese to attack and seize Henderson Field, the airstrip whose construction had been begun by the Japanese and finished by the Marines after they had landed on August 7, 1942.
Now, on September 9, a month after the all-important airdrome had been established, the Japanese realized its strategic value and were preparing to destroy it, and intended to kill every Marine in their way...

By early February the Soviet 6th Army became exhausted after capturing the city of Kharkov and it seemed the Germans were reeling. However, German Field Marshal Erich von Manstein unleashed his elite panzer units in a devastating counterattack against the depleted Soviet forces.
This Panzer fury would also unleash the feared Tiger I tanks in a concentrated heavy tank battalion as the breakthrough tank they were designed for, with devastating results…

The United States Army raced to respond with this looming threat as political relations deteriorated and the road to war become evident. A new doctrine was needed, and fast. In early 1941, the war department inaugurated a unique military concept, the Tank Destroyer. It would emphasize rapid response in concentrated numbers, firepower and mobility over heavy armor. This doctrine would be a specialized force to quickly engage enemy armor and eliminate their threat to any U.S. forces.
The U.S. was confident in their new doctrine, and would put it to the test in the European theater against Hitler’s most feared Panzer Divisons…

As the column advanced, they took fire from their left flank and one of the Sherman’s went up in flames. Tank platoon leader Staff Sergeant Lafayette Pool ordered his own tank to turn and deal with the threat. Despite Pool’s rank as a non-commissioned officer, he was trusted, and his leadership had earned him the nickname “War-Daddy.”
The M-4 roared ahead as Pool spotted the enemy tank and gave his gunner a distance to target of 1,500 yards. The gunner quickly adjusted his sight range and took careful aim. One shot is all they would have time for before the Panther spotted them…”FIRE!” crackled on the tank’s radio, and with a supersonic crack, a 76mm armor piercing round soared through the air…

It was the symbol of the Vietnam War, a lifeline for thousands of wounded soldiers, savior of those surrounded in the highlands, an incoming menace to the enemy, a harbinger of the fighting concept that revolutionized warfare.
It was named after a Native American tribe, it was called the “Jeep of the Vietnam War”, yet all those who heard its sound knew it as “Huey.”

One marauding enemy column particularly worried General Hodges. The spearhead of the elite German 1st SS Panzer Division, called Kampfgruppe Peiper. Named for its commander, SS Lt. Col. Jochen Peiper, this powerful force was headed for the crossroads city of Liege, key junction toward its ultimate objective of Antwerp and the Belgian coast.
Hodges pushed his reinforcements, the 30th Infantry and 82nd Airborne Divisions, into blocking positions along the Ambleve Valley. However, to stop Peiper’s tanks Hodges needed armor of his own. His staff could find only one available unit in the area, the 740th Tank Battalion, nicknamed “Daredevils.” Its mission was simple: “Peiper must be stopped!”

The G.I.s soon find themselves surrounded by swarms of German forces. Caught off guard, the soldiers of the 110th Regiment are thrown into the battle that will become the fight of their lives. Opposite them is a fierce adversary - the battle-hardened XLVII Panzer Corps, five times more numerous and backed by feared Panther tanks. The stakes are incredibly high. The men of the 110th are not just fighting for their positions; they are defending the entire front. If they give way, the German’s have an unobstructed path towards key objectives to turn the tide of the war.

Citizens of Carrol County, Maryland, for example, lived next to a hero without knowing so. To them, he was just another guy who fought in World War Two. They knew him only by his name - Joe Farinholt. But what they didn’t know was that back in the day everyone called him Lightning Joe and he was more than just an ordinary soldier. He was one of the bravest Americans to fight the war. One of few to win no less than four Silver Star medals for gallantry in action.

Following Cahill were 166 Marines of Charlie Company, of the First Marine Division. Little did they know, they were walking straight into a deadly trap that would cost many their life. As Cahill proceeded along the trail on top of a small knoll, a blast of machine gun fire poured into Charlie Company’s column. A devastating ambush of small-arms, grenade, and rocket fire from the NVA had found the Marines.
The Marines search and destroy mission quickly turned into a desperate fight for survival as over 2,000 NVA soldiers surrounded them. Charlie Company was now on the brink of annihilation…

However, World War Two includes countless stories of the courage and sacrifice from free men who resisted evil and tyranny. Many of them went even beyond the call of duty, for which the United States repaid them with the highest honor of all - the Medal of Honor.
Among 473 recipients, you’ll find people from all regions of America and all social classes. But what you may find interesting is that among dozens of Johns, Williams, Roberts, and James, you will find names such as Frank Ono, Joe and Shizuya Hayashi, Yukio Okutsu, or Kazuo Otani.
These are the names of Japanese Americans. They not only fought alongside other Americans in the war but belonged to the most decorated unit of the war. They fought bravely for the pride of their country and their community. This is the story of the deadly Nisei warriors…

As the first helicopters neared their objectives, the enemy let loose automatic weapons fire. The remaining choppers began to land in various locations to avoid being hit. With the G.I.'s scattered, fire intensified. Firmly entrenched in earthworks, the NVA had the Americans in a murderous crossfire. The unit was so fragmented that soldiers had a difficult time finding each other. Driving rain made air and artillery support impossible. Captain John Fesmire screamed into the radio to battalion HQ quote "We're in a hornet's nest.”
The troopers were cut off in the fight of their lives, as darkness approached. The poor visibility was ideal for the enemy, who tried to infiltrate the perimeter throughout the night and make this the graveyard of the famous 1st Cavalry Division…

"Colonel, sir, I don’t care if you break me for it. That little patch of woods we’re fighting for ain’t any good to anybody. No good to the Germans. No good for us. It’s the bloodiest damn ground in all Europe and you make me keep fighting for it. That ain’t right."
However, the orders remained the same. An hour later, the captain announced his men, that they were attacking yet again. Many of his men would not survive another day in the darkness of the Hürtgen Forest.

Hunter-killer tactics in the Vietnam War was a revolutionary approach to aerial reconnaissance and ground attack operations. The role of the hunter-killer helicopter pilots in this strategy was to combine the efforts of two types of helicopters: one to spot and identify the enemy (the “hunter”) and the other to launch the attack (the “killer”).

Wasting no time, men drop to the ground as bullets start to whiz over their heads. The platoon leader shouts orders, trying to calm his men. Amid the chaos, they return fire, shooting at shadowy figures moving between the trees.
As the battle intensifies, the soldiers fight with more and more determination. They cover each other, firing in turns and moving from tree to tree. Fear spreads through their bones, but they know one thing: they must fight until their last breath and fight with everything they have. It is the only way to survive the Highlands of Vietnam

High quality, intense, and raw combat footage from the Vietnam War.
Direct U.S. Military involvement in the Vietnam War lasted from 1965-1973. Two out of every three men who served in Vietnam were volunteers. The average U.S. infantryman in Vietnam saw 240 days of combat each year. The average infantryman in the South Pacific during World War II saw about 40 days of combat. This increase was largely the result of technological advances, including the helicopter, which made troops more mobile.
The U.S. fought a well-trained and well-funded military force in the Viet Cong (VC), contrary to popular belief that the VC were a small guerilla force. It’s estimated from 1954 to 1968 North Vietnam received over $3.2 billion in military and economic aid from communist nations like the Soviet Union and China. What’s more, the VC had AK-47s which were more reliable than the M-16s issued to American troops. They were also supplied with submachine guns, grenades, rocket launchers and an arsenal of other weapons. The VC was not a small, guerilla force.

The company had no other choice but to tighten its ranks and keep fighting. In such conditions, it is the bond between the soldiers that prevails; one can save his life only if he fights for the man next to him.
This is one such story; about the special bond within the Charlie Company of the 4th Battalion, 47th Infantry - the Boys of ‘67

St. Lo was now the prime objective for the U.S. First Army to break this stalemate. Before St. Lo could be taken it was necessary for the Americans to capture the commanding heights that surrounded it, including the prevailing Hill 192. From this peak the Germans held critical surveillance enabling them to monitor the Allies movements.
The challenge ahead for the Americans was savage. General Joseph Lawton Collins, a veteran of the Pacific Theater, remarked that the irregular patchwork terrain called 'bocage' was as bad as anything he had seen on Guadalcanal. American tanks could not penetrate the thick walls to accompany infantry assaults. As a result, the infantry was compelled to go over the top, in near suicidal frontal attacks. Regardless of the challenge, Hill 192 was to be taken. Success was the key to the Allied breakout of Normandy…

For the soldiers who, eighty years ago in July 1944, charged across this picturesque hill, it was known as Hill 112 - the scene of one of the bloodiest battles in the Normandy campaign. A battle that brought victory to neither of the warring sides.

Just nine days later, while the world’s attention remained fixed on the fighting along the Normandy coast, another D-Day was unfolding thousands of miles away on the opposite side of the Globe. This invasion, though less grand in scale, was no less significant. On the shores of a small island in the Pacific Ocean, American Marines and soldiers faced an enemy more relentless and fanatical than those in Europe. This was the Battle of Saipan - a ferocious encounter that would become one of the bloodiest chapters in American military history and the beginning of the end for the Empire of Japan.

This is because we are not in 1944, and the fleet we’re talking about does not sail toward the French coast of Normandy. This scene took place 19 months earlier and more than a thousand miles to the south, near the coast of French Morocco. This is the story of Operation Torch.
