Shout out to the Filipino forces that were a major part of this raid. Without their knowledge of the camp and general intelligence of what was going on around the camp, it may not have been successful. Their bravery in supporting the US attack was no small part of the success of the rescue of the POWs. Truly a team effort!
That’s why the Americans and the Philippine Resistance were helping each other to team up as allies to have a plan to attack against those Japanese soldiers in World War 2
@@wordmonster448 Lol, without the help of the filipinos the americans will have to choose the hardway just taking the island without knowing the location of the enemies. And dont be biased man, coz everybody fights for their freedom
While this raid on camp Cabanatuan was the most famous there was actually 3 others unlike any type of raids ever done before or after WW2. Raid on Los Banos, Santo Tomas, and Bilibid. Those raids were to free civilian interment camps. Los Banos was one where Paratroopers jumped from 500 feet while rangers waited in the tree line with small force of just a few men waiting overhead loud engines of formation 10 C-47 roared and the sky was filled with parachutes. The Japanese camp guards were exercising without their arms many were shot before they could react. University of Santo Tomas in Manila was another camp where 5 tanks busted though the gates guns blazing. Grandes and rifle fire used against the century towers. Japanese retreated with 200 internes as hostages. They were allowed to leave after an agreement the camp was turned over to the US army 44th tank division. Bilibid when the Japanese heard the gun fire at Santo Tomas they abandoned the camp left a sign saying there were pow's and internes.
I have a book about this. A lot of what is in this scene mirrors what is said in the book. A truck did try to drive away from the garage, and it was blown up by a bazooka. There was a bomb under the bridge, and it left a hole in it. Fillipino forces did largely contribute to the Cabanatuan POW camp raid.
As a Filipino, this scene feels me with this pride but a little bit of more explanation is needed. It's true that the US Rangers and Filipino Guerillas did raid the Cabanatuan POW Camp during the Liberation of Luzon. Most of the POWs held there were survivors of the Bataan Death March or " Martsa ng Kamatayan sa Bataan". Juan Pajota, the leader and USAFFE guerrilla Captain, and his 200 men helped significantly make this raid a success by holding down critical roads that lead to the camp and blocking any military aid for the small Japanese garrison stationed in the camp. While the rangers, led by Lt. Col. Henry Mucci, focused on raiding and saving POWs to the rendevouz point (which was the Pampanga River). One of the bazooka scenes was southwest of the camp while most of it is during the bridge fight- led by Capt. Pajota himself - was northeast of the camp. I know I already said this but without the help of the Filipino guerillas- this "Great Raid" won't be a success due to the Japanese sending reinforcements and cutting off the escape route of the Rangers. Additionally, we wouldn't have any first accounts on how gruesome and horrific the conditions of the Death March is and the treatment of Allied POWs in the Philippines by the Imperial Japanese.
@@warhusky2004 I actually did a whole presentation on the death March back in Highschool. What’s even crazier is I literally just talked to my girlfriend about it yesterday (even though I doubt she listened). Thanks for the information
Thank you General MacArthur for fulfilling your promised to came back to the Philippines and bring hope to the Filipino people who were being encaged with the cruelty of war. And thank you for all of those veterans of WW-2 both the Americans and Filipino soldiers who fought really hard and shed their blood for peace. Thank you so much because if it was not because of your sacrifices during the cold war we won't be enjoying our freedom today. May peace be with ya'll ✌️
The part at 0:06 isn't an exaggeration one of the front gate guards was hit so much in the opening volley he was just a bloody pulp in a matter of seconds.
Yeah, concentrated tire from multiple light MGs rifles all chambered in a hefty .30-06 will do that to us squishy meat bags. Pretty visceral still and I commend it
@@dustypluskrat7423 So late response but something I should add is that in the real raid it was pitch black because almost all lights in the camp were off at night, with the possible exception of the front gate for approaching vehicles, So chances are the poor sap was just the most visible target in that opening salvo.
Mate this the Cabanatuan Raid. Ya know the raid where the members from the 6th rangers and Alamo Scouts with support from the Filipino Guerrilla liberated and rescues over 225 prisoners
The japanese committed acts of cruelty to american and british and commonwealth POWs and civilians which they held in camps the most worse one in the Philippines is when the Japanese made american pow March over a 100 mile in the sun without water of food this became known as the death march
As much as I loved Band Of Brothers and The Pacific, there needs to be more movies about theatres like the Philipeans or the British/Indian forces in Burma. Like ok, you’ve done enough about the Marines, Iwo Jima/Okinawa, and Normandy, tell people the other stories for a change.

@@Defender78 yes we did after the Spanish-American war from 1902-1912 and the U.S took over the islands from Spain and the people of Philippines wanted immediate independence, but it was denied because they weren't ready for it (they were Spanish colony for 400 years) it was 10 year guerrilla war that ensued til America and the guerillas agreed to peace to where the U.S would prepare islands for eventually independence through education and development and preparing them properly Philippine independence was scheduled for 1944 but was delayed til 1946 because of WW II
What a nonsense, no one loads his weapon, they have more firepower than an regular bataillon, seems they had the better firearms than today................
The raid on the Cabanatuan POW camp was coordinated chaos, and maybe the movie producers decided to focus more on the chaos that the Japanese felt than on showing the reloading of every weapon. You can see the Bazooka being reloaded several times, though. This scene fits what is being said in my history novel, Ghost Soldiers. It's a great book that talks about everything that happened in the Cabanatuan POW camp raid.
This is how the Scout Rangers Regiment was born. The name was a combination of the Alamo Scouts and the U.S. Army Rangers. And ever since, it is enshrined in their training to never leave a comrade behind no matter how bad the situation is.
I've seen this film. It's actually based on a real life rescue mission. The title should read. "US Rangers & Philippine guerrillas raid Japanese POW camp".
I thought all the Filipinos were attacking the other Japanese base to prevent them from reinforcing the POW camp while all the Rangers raided there. Did some of the Filipinos join the raid on the POW camp too?
I don’t understand, the last minute and 1/2 was a made up scene of a man shooting at hand held rocket at a helicopter while riding on top of a submarine.
This is not true. Near the end of the raid, as everyone was making their way back to the Fillipino village where they were staying, one of the Rangers was mistaken for a Japanese soldier.
For once, it is the Japanese who look surprised.........😜 The movie at the end call "Le Chant Du Loup" / 2019 (with Omar Sy) 😉 This movie containing some inaccuracies and oddities...... 😕
When the war finished the British and American soldiers in Changi Prison Camp outside Singapore were so hated by the Malay and Chinese population that the American liberating force had to re-arm and use the Japanese guards to protect them. The population had spent decades under British Colonial rule only to be sacrificed and abandoned to the Japanese and mobs threatened to attack the prison.
Pretty sure there wasn't any massive American liberating force in Singapore, it's mostly British troops who came back. Also there wasn't much American POWs in Changi, it's mostly Brits and Australians. Armed Japanese troops remain in Singapore for quite awhile to keep law and order in place much like the other occupied territories. There're definitely resentment against the British colonial govt but as can be seen in multiple photos and memoirs people were cheering the return of British troops. Next time get your basic facts straight before sprouting off bold claims. Sincerely, a Singaporean.
@@deliciousnoodles5505anti colonial resentment was always a defining trait of all the Asian peoples, but it’s one thing to be a colonial subject and become the meat toys of a fascist imperial empire. Many Asians who fell under the Japanese boot would ironically find themselves allying with their colonial oppressors, temporarily. Because when the devil comes knocking at your door it takes all you can and as much as you can to fight him off. Thankfully the experience and determination gained from this struggle would reignite the desire of freedom and independence in many colonial nations.
The Browning M1917 was used by the US in Vietnam even. Water-cooled machine guns can fire much longer than air-cooled ones, and were well suited for use in fixed defensive positions or at a regimental level.
The Americans won the war in the Pacific, but I'm not undermining their role in North Africa, Italy and Western Europe without Allied & Soviet help, I guess...
