(NSFW) Colorized Korean War Footage Shows Capture of Wolmido Island

Footage recorded on September 15, 1950 shows the Marines and Sailors of 3rd Battalion, 5th Marines capturing the North Korean held Wolmido Island during a surprise attack.


While brutal, the video above serves as a reminder of the first phase of the landing at Incheon, a surprise attack on the North Korean held fortress island of Wolmido. This entire operation was a gamble conducted by American General Douglas MacArthur. Had it failed, a good portion of the American troops sent to land at Incheon would have been killed before they were ever able to disembark the ships.
