The aid station and commander determined it was over 150 men saved but Doss refused the medal as he believed he was merely doing his duty and so a compromise was reached. The official number became 75 and he was awarded the medal of honour.

This is a bit late, but the story of Desmond Doss is very personable to me. He was a distant friend of my parents as they went to church together on occasion. There is a statue of Desmond Doss in Colledgedale, Tennessee in the Veterans Memorial Park as it is close to the epicenter of the Seventh-Day Adventist's university which is owned by the Southern Union, Georgia Cumber-land Conference. Desmond Doss was a advocate supporter of the Southern University and the youth program Pathfinders. Within the Pathfinders organization they have dedicated a whole class to Desmond's story, that teach about his heroics to the youth.

As an Australian I now feel the need to bring up the story of Jack Simpson Kirkpatrick and his donkey. He was an Englishman who had joined the merchant navy to support his mother and sister but jumped ship after disliking the experience. After trying to get work in Australia to continue to support his family he ended up getting home sick and volunteered to the Australian Imperial Forces during WW1 as a stretcher bearer in the belief that he'd get a free trip back to Europe, at which point he'd go home after the war. But his unit was rerouted to Gallipoli when the Ottomans joined the war. Shortly after arriving he was carrying a wounded trooper on his shoulders when he spotted a donkey and started using it to help carry the wounded. In total it's believed he used 5 different donkeys. According to legend over the course of 24 days he and his donkeys saved 300 men, or 12 per day, before he was ultimately shot and killed while transporting another wounded man back. The amount of respect I have for medics is beyond description.

Protections from shrapnel is still the best thing the helmet does.

Growing up, Desmond Doss was one of my heroes. I grew up in the Seventh Day Adventist church but was also interested in the military here in Australia. The fact he chose to sign up to serve in a time of war was something that I always admired. He was never drafted. It wasn’t the church held belief against fighting, but he had an encounter as a child and promised his mother he would never kill with a weapon of any kind. He spent the rest of his life teaching others trauma first aid, which I also did, ages 10-18. Edit: although the official number was 75 men saved, it was actual over twice that number, but Doss in his everlasting humility refused the Medal of Honour as he was merely doing his duty. A compromise was reached and the official number became 75 and he accepted the medal. Edit 2: Doss always refused orders to stop treating Japanese soldiers. He met soldiers after the war where saved by his first aid and enabled a lot of reconciliation between the two counties and their veterans.

I can tell you the equipment today is still heavy and blistering feet is still a thing ;)

FINALLY, been waiting for you to cover one of my favorite movies. Loving the videos, you’re honestly a natural in front of the camera. Keep the great work up man.

The movie you’re thinking about is about Desmond. At the credits you see Desmond getting the medal of honour I think

the movie is called hacksaw ridge and its about the same guy

At times, on both theaters, medics had to change their uniforms so not to stand out because the enemy would target them in combat.

I love how you go into detail of the battles

One of the best history teachers on any social platform.

I believe in the Western Front of WW2 they tried their best not to shoot medics as medics were required to help out both soldiers if needed. But I know in Pacific and East the rules were not applied at all.

26:57 I'd guess that depends on personality. Most people probably don't get used to it per se, just numb to all the deaths. Kinda like working at a conveyor belt in the industry? You do your job, and hope for the best, but push your emotions away in the meantime (until later, that is, when you can't ignore it any longer). The same goes for other "jobs" with a lot of deaths, like rescue work after natural disasters and the like. I've once read an article which mentioned that rescue workers actually work in shifts when looking for survivors amongst the rubble of collapsed buildings, in order not to get burnt out. The shifts get shorter the longer the search takes, since the amount of survivors found gets smaller and smaller the longer it takes, and the amount of corpses higher. Interesting part of the article was the fact that even their dogs suffered from such burn outs after finding too many dead people. The only solution to this was to regularly hide some other rescue workers among the rubble, and make the dogs find them as live "victims" instead, which made the dogs ecstatic and motivated them to continue the work.

well, rules of war have always been more of a suggestion when it actually comes down to it, but i think what actually makes people follow them in many cases is the fact that if one side starts shooting medics then the other side is more likely to do so. Of course, you can't always tell what is a danger in combat and what is not, but knowing that if you refrain from shooting the enemies medics makes them more likely not to shoot yours is probably what keeps it all together

Yeah. The two big offenders were Russia and Japan. In Japan, there was no cultural precedent for a "supportive soldier". If you were on the battlefield, you were a combatant. Even civilians were expected to carry knives, train with bamboo spears, and attack any target of opportunity they could. Russia, on the other hand, had a far less romantic view of warfare than anyone else. They fully expected their enemy to break the rules, so they would decide to break the rules first. The history of Russian warfare revolved around destroying anything that could be used by the enemy, or preparing it to do more harm than good. I remember reading excerpts from the journal of a soldier in Napoleon's army discussing how Russian women would offer retreating French soldiers shelter in their houses, only to slit their throats while they slept and feed them to their pigs, or leaving behind soap in containers for butter in hopes of poisoning them when they scrounged for food. For them, killing medics was just another weapon to use against a country that, in their minds, would do the same if given the opportunity.

in Germany when we still had public military service for male teens you always had the option to deny it due to your beliefs (didn't to be necessarily religious but in general your stance towards violence, weapons, killing, etc) but then you would need to do for the same amount of time do a social service like working in a facility for elderly people or other acknowledged social facilities.

I can imagine many japanese soldiers believed it was unhonorable thing to kill a man if they saw he was unarmed, which certainly improved his surviving chances.

Hacksaw Ridge really portrayed this soldier by Andrew Garfield and mel Gibson really did his best as a director showing this interesting story in history within the ww2 era

Desmond Doss is one of those heros who absolutely lives up to the namesake status. Pious but patriotic, he went to serve the best way he knew how, not daring to leave his men even amist fanatical imperial japanese gunfire. After hearing of his survival without a weapon, if I were japans military command, Id have seriously considered a "retreat on sight" order concerning him. If a man can survive ALL of that, NOTHING short of age would kill him XD He sadly passed away some time ago. 2005 or 2008 I believe

You should do the Sabaton song Purple Heart and the Sabaton History Channel video to go along with it. I learned a lot, and it almost brought me to tears knowing we don't honor a holiday that is officially created to remember and honor Purple Heart recipients.

Interestingly highlighted by the movie about Doss, Hacksaw Ridge, the Japanese in the pacific theatre tended to target medics marked by their Red Cross helmets and patches, as Doss was told to remove both of his to avoid targeting from Japanese fire.

To speak for the medics and all the soldiers, it never gets easier.

Movie was hacksaw ridge,it was actually about Desmond,and is also a phenomenal movie

Have family who are 7th day Adventist, kinda am, not not myself, Sabbath is (more accurately) from Friday's sunset to Saturday's sunset (yes very awkward I know). Oh not to be left out of saying it, the movie is Hacksaw Ridge, and it's about Desmond Doss.

Hacksaw Ridge is literally made to tell the story of Desmond Doss, and is the same story here

Desmond Doss was played in "Hacksaw Ridge" by Andrew Garfield, the same actor who played Spider-Man in "The Amazing Spider-Man" (2012) and "The Amazing Spider-Man 2" (2014).

The word for that ( 18:40 ) would be guerilla warfare. The japanese and the finns excelled at that. Most likely other nations did too of course (my knowledge is lacking regarding them), but those two nations are what comes to mind when talking about WW2.

It's hacksaw ridge the movie your thinking of

The CMH is rarely awarded to a surviving service member, as you said. The debate over conscientious objector essentially settled down as was suggested in the movie Hacksaw Ridge, which is about this very story and person. During WWI, many Amish men were conscripted, but refused to accept a weapon or engage in any violence. A sizable number died in federal prisons, due to harsh conditions and abuse by guards and prisoners alike. Needless to say, the public recoiled in horror, given the well documented pacifism of the Amish and Friends. A non-combatant, such as a medic or chaplain are permitted self-defense and for medics, self-defense and the defense of the patient. Any violations beyond a one off, fog of war error, but habitual for a specific unit (Waffen SS comes to mind) repeat offenses opens said unit up to, if authorized by a General Officer to reprisal in kind, such as refusing to accept surrender or take prisoners, which happened to specific war crime committing as a habit SS units, from whom no prisoners were taken - they were summarily executed. Upside and downside to some articles of military clothing, wool and synthetic clothing can both be warm, synthetics tend to melt and burn fairly easily, wool, not as much, but can be itchy. I'm old enough to have been issued and worn both. Today, if an infantry company loses 10% of their fighters, the unit is marked NMC - non-mission capable. Replacements would have to be sent to bring the unit back up to strength, although line companies that were hard hit could have men reassigned to one company, then the commander would get replacements to fill out only one company, while remaining one company down, rather than two. A white phosphorus grenade or mine would leave metal fragments and white phosphorus fragments smoldering on and in their flesh. We had copper sulfate solution bottles to treat that at our BAS, which covered the WP and prevented ignition once the fragments were exposed to air, as those are the exception of removing shrapnel in the real world (unlike Hollywood, where the bullet always has to come out), as phosphorus is poisonous. Odd, given it's part of our DNA, as well as our cellular machinery, illustrating well that too much of a good thing is frequently lethal. Jungle fighting, fighting in an environment lousy with tons of "I can't see shit", due to the foliage density. Private Doss, post! Here, Doss, these local vegetables I've personally checked and they're edible, I also collected beans from volunteers... Take care of your men, they'll take good care of you. By the time of these events in the war, the Japanese commanders were telling their men that the Americans would literally eat prisoners. Do research it, given that Japan was a non--signatory to the Geneva and Hague Conventions, the best educated men could easily not know that the US was a signatory to both - with reservations. In that particular battle, the Japanese forces were largely sheltered in lava tubes and protected from even the 16 inch guns from US battleships. Life of a medic, ask an inner city EMT or paramedic, both have very similar experiences, save that a medic lives with his line company. Under the command responsibility to Battalion, the line company medic is administratively attached to the line company, today, complete with vehicle for use as an ambulance. So, that casualty is also a friend, possibly even a close friend and one develops a mindset of symptoms, mechanism of injury, addressing issues in the proper order and name is always last. The rest goes tucked in a corner of your mind that's busily sucking its thumb in a corner, in the end, you did the best that you could with what you have available and know, even if some injuries happened in a trauma center parking lot, some things just are too severe to be survivable. What really tears at minds, infantryman, SF Operator or medic while under treatment for one's own injuries, that you're not there to help your buddies out of the shit. Life expectancy for a line medic was around 10 minutes at that time, we've improved survival by helicopter MEDEVAC and the bird carries whole blood for casualties. Most of the time when I was treating someone, that rifle was seven kinds of in my way, so I handed mine off to an appointed litter bearer, along with a casualty's weapon, save of the casualty is aware and oriented times three, then he's also security while I was treating him.

The helmet is only for deflecting shrapnel and possibly a pistol caliber if it just glances off the sides of the helmet

I'd love to see you react "the winter war - the war that became a meme"

Love the video, btw, great job and keep it up!

If you wonder about how Medics felt, there is an interview with one on channel "Memoirs of ww2". You might want to watch it, if not for a reaction video, then just for your own "pleasure" so to say.

I just want you to know I really enjoy your videos.

I recommend the Extra History video on the battle of Saipan. It's more of the carnage and horror of the Island Hopping campaigns of the Pacific.

I think the movie you're talking about was made about a man with a similar story in the Great War. I watched that in my freshman year of high school.

In 2016 there was movie called Hacksaw Ridge is about Desmond Doss.

Not so sure if the rule "shooting medics is against Geneva conventions" was uphold that well in WW2. Perhaps a bit more on the Western front, but at least on the Eastern front the German medics stopped wearing the pieces of clothing that identified them as medics, as it made them stand out, and priority targets.

The movie you were thinking of is in fact Hacksaw Ridge, also about Desmond Doss

Mr Terry your channel is growing sooo fast

At the eastern front soviets targeted medics and German medics stopped using the red cross because of that.

Basically what the Japanese at Okinawa and Iwo Jima thought is they knew that they could not win they had accepted they were going to die.

Ww1 and ww2 helmets were not meant to stop bullets. They were meant to block small pieces of shrapnel and possibly make a small arms round rochette if if hit at a lucky angle. Otherwise a rifle round would go straight through.

What was missing is that Desmond Doss was THE ONLY conscientious objector to recieve the Medal of Honor during WWII. So not only did he recieve a Medal of Honor while still alive he also was the first and only one to do so by technically not even being required to ever enter the army or a battle. And he stayed true to his ideals to the very end. He also probably has the highest negative KD of anyone to ever do the war. And that is an achievement initself

Mr. Terry, the name of that movie based on Desmond Doss is called Hacksaw Ridge. A really good movie starring Andrew Garfield (aka the Incredible Spider-man) as Desmond Doss

I'm watching this in 2021(may specifically) and I only ever heard of this dude THIS YEAR from a science show about abandoned sites of all things(well there is history involved, its more history than science but there is science as well) and the only reason I heard of Desmond Doss was when that show mentioned the Battle of Okinawa and Hacksaw Ridge. I was watching with my mom at the time, and when I heard "they were expecting something like Iwo Jima" I was thinking "so it was the EXACT opposite in terms of amount of resistance?" than my mom said it was a very savage battle. I never been a big history buff, I'm more science myself but I do pay attention to history as to NOT repeat mistakes.

it seems like some people truly are recent legends

Mr. Doss also tried to treat a few enemy soldiers as well. Most of them refused his treatment though.

FYI- FLAK Helmets have never been required to 'ricochet' bullets. They've never been bullet proof.

far as i know, military helmets are designed to protect against artillery throwing dirt n debris into the air, raining down into the trenches(they started with cloth/leather hats). they are not bullet proof.

If you want a good historical movie to watch, I would recommend Bridge of Spies

the movie your thinking of is hacksaw ridge which is Desmond Doss's story btw he wasn't drafted he signed up.

You should do a video on the chosin few at the battle of the Chosin Resivoir during the Korean war or Audie Murphy or Chesty Puller both individuals have very interesting historical significance.
