Short animated movie based on the book "Hold the line"

I came across this while looking for something else and thought it worth posting.

It is based on a true story at the start of the Korean war in1950.
"Hold the line" was put together by Richard C Meyer and Brian Iglesias.
It is about a company of marines in the Chosin reservoir, (Changjin reservoir in Korean) that gets attacked by the Chinese communist forces. they are way outnumbered but manage to fight their way to the port of Hungnam on the east sea.

Chosin / Changjin reservoir is the red dot

This short animation by veterans expeditionary media called "baptized by fire" was adapted based on the book and it is really well done.



And check this out!
This is what the 38th parallel (the DMZ Demilitarized zone) looked like in 1953 while the ceasefire talks were proceeding.
