Meanwhile the Japanese Imperial army on the pacific see red cross as a target mark.
@jonsablon6594
That's because they save both Parties. God bless those Boys!
@elskaalfhollr4743
That's why you need to make everyone in the conflict know that a medic will help you no matter your side or status
@mikefranklin1253
I have read that Allied and German Medics treated any wounded soldiers they found(?)
@themisfitbrigade
In the Hurtgen Forest, U.S and German medics worked together multiple times.
@LeverActionBoi
The Japanese: If you hit the white it's 5 points, the red is 10 points tho.
@Samuelon552
The fact that medics were safe is such a touching fact to me. A small sliver of humanity left in the most violent times.
@alpharius7454
reminder there is records of 2 US medics doing their job inside a church when the germans push the allies off the area they respected the laws and even supplied the medics with german supplies so they can treat the wonded germans too soon enough the allies took the area back but the medics continue their job unopposed either by friend or foe
@patrickracer43
Meanwhile in the Pacific, the Japanese saw those red crosses and said "we do not care"
@ReformationHomested
My grandfather inlaw was a medic on Bougainville. Somehow he both earned a bronze star and walked off the island. He never talked about it but I was also told that medics that earn medals saw the worst parts of the war.
@RobertHoward-xp3vl
My father was a Sgt with the 104 medical battalion,Co. A 29 division. Thank you for recognizing their service. RIP Dad..
@Onewingedangle42
Also most German pows would later recount that it was harder to see the Red Cross symbols considering everything was in black and white however later on it would get easier to see the symbols once world war 2 in color came out in 2009
@suntzu4607
Imperial Japan: "Red Cross? Looks like a walking target to me"
@JordanTheMann
We Germans just thought the Swiss finally decided to pick a side.
@CaptainRon76
Keep the medic footage coming!
@kuro6968
if it was me i would've tried to learn "hey asshole i'm a medic, i can help you" in german
@redacted5937
During D day, there was a French town where paratroopers were fighting. 2 medics treated wounded in a church as time went on, they started treating the enemy. Seeing this, anytime both parties saw those medics, they would stop all fighting to let them pass. Yarnhub has a video about this.
@johnmaddock256
My father was in the Pacific during WW2. He said the Japanese would target medics without hesitation to the point that medics would even hide even their medical bag under their shirt.
@CyanTeamProductions
That enemy only seemed to respect it on the western front. Eastern front was a nightmare
