Battle scenes from Korea, US tanks, bazooka, weary and wounded GIs, 1950

The transcript describes the American forces' defense against a powerful enemy drive during a crucial battle in the hills flanking Tiggo. Despite being bone weary, the American GIs held their ground and never gave up. The defense of the Pusan Perimeter was a significant struggle, with heavy losses, but the enemy offensive was ultimately beaten back.
