Needs to be made!
“Needs to be made!”
Never happen the good guys won
Why would Hollywood make such a film....?
Could not blame America as greedy imperialist war mongers....
“Needs to be made.”
Fine. I say it’s right up Quentin Tarantino’s ally. The untold WWII
story which should be made into a feature film is the Los Banos
Raid. Over 2100 starving, mostly American civilians were rescued
from a Japanese prison camp on Luzon by a company of US
paratroopers (B Co511PIR/11th AB), 11th AB Recon, Filipino
guerillas and transported to safety across a very large body of
water on 23 Feb ‘45. All of the 150 prison guards were killed or
dispersed w/out losing a prisoner. The rescue took place 30 mi
behind Japanese lines as the battle for Manila raged. A force of
8K Japanese was camped w/in a 2hr march of Los Banos while
the rescue was taking place.
If you are thinking this is the subject of the movie The Great
Raid starring Benjamin Brat (?) a few years back then you would
be wrong. It received scant attention at the time because it
happened the same day as the raising of the US flag on Mt
Surabachi on Iwo Jima by US Marines.
