A Korean POW in Normandy, a hero in a new movie
I've just now come home from the movie theater after watching this movie at last. My impression is that this movie is an international version of director Kang's previous masterpiece 'Taegukgi' . Gory battle scenes, humanity and sacrifice are the main themes as they were in Taegukgi . Battle scenes ...

Human Shields at Brest Fortress
Thank you for new information. A human shield is not European-specific. North Korean People's Army also used human shields during the Korean War.Domen121 wrote:However, this is not German-specific.

A Korean POW in Normandy, a hero in a new movie
This film will be released on December 22 in Korea. Maybe I'll be the first forum member who will watch this movie. I'll post my review here after watching this movie whether it meets expectations of many military buffs who have waited for its completion more than 6 years. http://img502.imageshack.u...

A Korean POW in Normandy, a hero in a new movie
Kim Sung first posted this "movie" news in Aug 2005. It's now almost 2010. There's no movie made, no notice of a movie made, no mention of it in an US press (note that Kyoungjong Yang supposedly became a US citizen). This story has made the circular rounds on internet chat forums. I am beginning to...

The 100 Most Important Women in World History
I'd like to add Ecaterina Teodoroiu into the list in terms of woman's role as a combatant. She is a more impressive figure than Soviet woman aces of WWII, in stark contrast to the disastrous defeat during the Romanian Debacle . A 1979 movie 'Ecaterina Teodoroiu' (Stela Furcovici as Ecaterina Teodoro...
