It’s a very arcane World War 2 story but at D-Day the Americans captured three Koreans that were actually at the time fighting on the side of the wehrmacht.
very very circuitous military transfer route.
If memory serves correctly they were two mg42 teams but I don’t know if the men hailed from the southern part of the then Korea or instead the northern part.
I meant 5 Koreans, not 3, sorry, voice transcription.
“It’s a very arcane World War 2 story but at D-Day the Americans captured three Koreans that were actually at the time fighting on the side of the wehrmacht.”
i’ve read that the invasion beaches were defended by an amazingly diverse ethnic, national, and racial group of soldiers who were impressed into the Wehrmacht from all over the world because the nazi’s were so short of ethnic German men for such defensive positions.

There’s a fictionalized Korean movie about him called ‘My Way’, which I saw an enjoyed, as well. I think Netflix has it.
