关于朝鲜战争有哪些不为人知的事实？
是鸭绿江以西。1953 年 4 月，在朝鲜战争中被俘的盟军士兵的中共战俘营。
营地里的条件很糟糕。中国人有严重的后勤问题。一点点珍贵的粮食，他们都花不起给俘虏。被俘的和投降的都关在原地。军官和士官军衔被取消。俘虏被迫从事艰苦的劳动，被关押在卫生条件有问题的狭窄营房中，饥饿伴随着随意的殴打和处决。这些条件也使囚犯患上了痢疾。但中国人并不真正关心帝国主义侵略者的死亡，因为每一个在俘虏中死亡的盟军士兵都少了一个帝国主义敌人供他们养活。
那场战争就是如此残酷。
对于每个轻罪的囚犯，整个营地都使用一半的口粮。比如那天有人在逃出营地时被枪杀，营地里的人在接下来的三天里只能吃一半的口粮。如果这段时间再发生什么事，口粮就会降到四分之一。
即便如此，也没有足够的食物喂饱所有囚犯。而由于涌入的俘虏人数不断增加，营长对俘虏的处理手段也非常残忍。
整个营地至少有两个星期都在吃非常重的食物。食物占每日总热量的比例降至 12%。每人每天摄入 200-250 卡路里的热量。这让营地里的生活更加艰难。因为努力从未减少。
在第二周结束时，中国人做了一件意想不到的事，在一个星期天的晚上，他们用大锅带来了食物。煮稀饭。每个人每人至少得到两盘食物。整个营地都洋溢着节日的气氛。吃完菜的人一次又一次地填满。吃饱后，他们把食物装进袋子里，以备后用。那天晚上每个人都高兴地睡觉了。只是在夜里醒来时非常痛苦。
你看，饿了半天，突然吃上了最难消化的食物，被俘的士兵们遭遇了生平从未有过的痛苦。他们的肠子都裂开了。许多人死在床上，因内出血而蜷缩起来，在极度痛苦中呻吟。美国人、希腊人、英国人、荷兰人、澳大利亚人、菲律宾人和所有其他人都死于内出血的可怕死亡。除了土耳其人以外的所有人。
在将尸体运出营地的过程中，中国守卫记录了死者的姓名、年龄和国籍。全国范围内丧生人数的奇怪差异引起了卫队指挥官的注意。他又去其他收尸站看看有没有土耳其士兵是因为肚子痛而死的，但在名单上也没有看到土耳其人的尸体。
守卫指挥官去找营地指挥官，用数字报告说，他用食物宰杀囚犯的计划奏效了，营地里有数百人死亡。“但是……”他说。“土耳其士兵没有死，我们也不知道为什么”他们想也许他们会死得更晚，他们决定等待，但他们看到的是，当吃米饭的土耳其士兵更不用说死亡时，就好像他们现在更强大了，他们正在以更大的热情挖掘战壕。他们背着树桩唱着民歌。他们永远不会死。中国指挥官面面相觑，这是什么鬼？
由于直到那个周末都没有土耳其士兵死亡，营地指挥官走到这群土耳其囚犯身边，命令他们停下来一会儿。他用手指给这群人的领头人打电话，他是一名被俘的土耳其船长，并通过翻译用英语向他询问。
“当其他人都在死去时，你和你的人如何生存？”
“这是真主的智慧，指挥官。”
中共指挥官根本不喜欢这个答案。他愤怒地转过身，命令从现在开始全天候 24/7 监视土耳其囚犯，并找出他们所做的不同之处。
瞭望塔内，中国哨兵开始用望远镜一个一个地监视土军俘虏。他们看到土耳其俘虏三三两两地走着，时不时地弯下腰站起来，沿着营地的铁丝网走着。他们从地上捡起什么东西，继续往前走。他们这样做尤其是在有浓密绿叶和草地的地方。
中国人立即拉响警报，拿着刺刀跑到齐膝的草丛中，追上土耳其人，将他们全部放下。他们脱下他们的衬衫，在他们的口袋里翻找，他们发现的是各种大麻。杂草！！
芙蓉、灌肠剂、酢浆草、荨麻。
由于 1950 年代土耳其旅中的大多数士兵都是农民，来自农村，他们比来自曼哈顿的约翰尼更了解。由于他们都已经很穷了，饥饿对他们的打击没有那么大。当这些人在地上发现可食用的杂草时，他们将它们拔下来并与他们的朋友分享。由于蔬菜和草药的纤维含量很高，它们可以让肠胃保持活跃，永远不会偷懒。
因此，通过饿死 Mehmetçik（我们称土耳其士兵为小 Mehmets）并不容易。这些人早已从艰辛和饥饿中走出来，过着贫困的生活。中国营长得知后，一点也不生气。事实上，他只是微笑着命令土耳其人不要管。对他们来说，穆罕默德奇克是一个反英雄，在一个进行了毛泽东农民革命的国家被俘，知道艰辛和饥饿，也过着贫困的生活，中国人民尊重他们。土耳其人由此得以摆脱在中国人心目中形成的帝国主义侵略者刻板印象。他们认为 Mehmetçik 坚韧、纯洁和诚实，就像任何一个乡下人应该做的那样。
7000名美国俘虏中，有2800人在朝鲜战争中被俘虏丧生，这无疑是一个毁灭性的事实，愿他们的灵魂在天堂安息。但是土耳其旅给了 217 名俘虏，没有人死在营地里。
我怀着敬意纪念我们的朝鲜老兵和烈士。
附录：从评论中的讨论来看，我觉得我需要澄清一下。
这个故事的寓意不是中国人是邪恶的盟友是善良的，而是关于坚韧和同理心。残忍来自去人格化。将敌人视为“不是怪物”而是“人类”会改变一切。
历史不是非黑即白的，除了一些精神案件（双方）。没有坏人，也没有好人，只有人类。都是一些母亲的儿子，一些女人的丈夫，一些人的兄弟，一些孩子和父亲以及战争双方的一些情人。
我向所有朝鲜战争中的老兵和烈士，盟军士兵，双方朝鲜士兵，中国军人致敬。他们都为自己的信仰、自己的国家而战、死、受苦。我尊重他们所有人。
谢谢。
I have written elsewhere in answers about the Korean War that the story of South Koreans taken prisoner by the communist forces deserves their own Quora answer. This is it.
On June 25, 1950, exactly 69 years from today, the North Korean Korean People’s Army invaded South Korea and started the Korean War. It was a brutal war that killed 3 million people and injured many others. Many people suffered. One story that does not get told often is about the South Korean POWs who did not get to go home.
The POW issue in the Korean War was complicated. People familiar with the war have heard of the mistre
How many people knew about an incredible surgeon who was stationed aboard HMCS Cayuga, part of the Royal Canadian Navy, during the Korean War?
During one of Cayuga’s routine patrol off the shore of North Korea and close to the 38th parallel, she suddenly encountered an approaching Korean junk (a type of ancient Chinese sailing ship that is still in use today). Cayuga’s lookouts could faintly spot a
On September 6, 1945 the internationally recognised Korean Government in exile during WW2 elected Lyuh Woon-hyung (aka Yo Un-hyung) as President of a unified Korea.
When US Forces under General Douglas MacArthur arrived in Korea after WW2 they deposed Lyuh Woon-hyung, removed his Government & installed a US appointed Dictator.
When General Douglas MacArthur arrived and discovered Korea already had a Government, he flew into a rage and took steps to dismantle their authority behind the guise of Trusteeship to manage Elections.
MacArthur conspired with Syngman Rhee from 1946–1947 to create the Repu
Some three million civilian Koreans, North and South, died representing 10% of the population. This is a conservative estimate.
At peak strength, 650,000 South Korean troops served - twice as many as the US - and in total suffered nearly four times the American casualties.
The Korean conflict was a disaster for the Korean people who by far paid the highest price in blood. Somehow Hollywood didn’t get the memo. Funny that…
One unknown fact about the Korean War is that the most highly decorated Infantry Regiment of the war was the 65th Infantry Puerto Rico Army National Guard. They received two Presidential Unit Citations, the Army Unit Citation and the Navy Unit Citation. One Medal of Honor, 177 Distinguished Service Crosses, 2 Navy Crosses,542 Silver Stars, 791 Bronze Stars and 4,092 Purple Hearts. The Regiment had an assigned strength of 3,053 Officers and men.
In 1964, Vietcong commandos sank an American aircraft carrier.
The USNS CARD was an old aircraft carrier commissioned way back in 1942, but well, it was an aircraft carrier nonetheless.
In mid-1963, Vietcong secret intelligence inside the port of Saigon informed their commanders that two aircraft carriers named USNS Core and USNS Card frequently moored in the port. Both ships carried huge numbers of helicopters, fighter jets, armored vehicles, artillery, etc. Every time these ships arrived, security around the port was tripled. A full-strength paratrooper battalion blocked the nearby streets, pa
The last stand of the Filipinos at Yultong.
Outnumbered,Out gunned,and Outflanked. The Filipinos of the PEFTOK held their post firmly. They fought wave after wave of Chinese volunteers. Bolo in one hand, and an M1 Garand on the other. They were the only force to not retreat on the Chinese Spring Offensive. And on the side note, they indirectly covered the retreat of the American 3rd Infantry.
They were short in stature, but they halted a giant.
What I don't know about the Korean War can fill the libraries.
But here is a little something that I discovered in Battle Park in NY: almost all countries in the world participated.
- The UN force (led by the US) threat China’s border, Yalu river.
2. Whether intended or by mistake, Some Chinese villages near the border were strifed and bombed.
-Andong (Now Dandong City)
3. US 7th Fleet entered Taiwan strait to show its determination to keep China divided.
Important: it was June 1950, half a year before China involved into Korean war.
Back then it was widely believed that PRC simply letting the UN force advance to Yalu river is showing enemy your weakness. Next the US would help ROC came back from Taiwan with its superior naval power.
4. North Korea offically seek help from China.
Early in the war, the US Army did not have enough rations in theater or in Japan. Once Eighth Army flowed into Pusan and X Corps hit Inchon, they were dangerously low on food, as well as the means to get it there over higher priority items, like ammo.
One account that sticks with me was told by a 2ID soldier that they were allowed a slice of spam per day, and a half canteen cup of rehydrated grapefruit juice.
The massive effort to get troops, weapons and ammo into Korea in August and September had really messed them up on the food front if they had to ration down to that level. It was stabilized
Most of these things aren’t really unknown but rather are glossed over and forgotten
The truly pathetic shape the US military was really in in 1950. It was short of trained manpower, it’s equipment was badly maintained, and it had held no large scale exercises since the end of 1945. The only saving grace was that there was a large pool of experienced manpower to draw from.
The vaunted Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-15s shot down less than 150 of the more than 2,000 UN aircraft lost in combat. Soviet pilots alone flying MIG-15s claimed more North American F-86 Sabres shot down than there were Sabres sent t
The Ben Franklin Effect.
Remember this dude? Princely, diplomatic gentleman with those lush steely locks? The smoothest social badass of his time? Ringing any bells?
Ben Franklin unlocked the secret to getting other people to like you. Most of us have been conditioned to think that the way to get someone to like us is by doing nice little favors for them, thereby demonstrating that we are a thoughtf
