The Most Ruthless Black Canadian Soldiers General Douglas MacArthur Afraid to Send to War in Korea

Описание: On a frozen Korean hillside in February 1951, the 2nd Battalion Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry made a decision that would horrify other UN commanders: they called artillery fire directly onto their own position. Outnumbered more than 20-to-1 by Chinese forces, these 896 Canadian soldiers—including Black Canadians fighting for a country that discriminated against them—held Hill 677 through a night of brutal close-quarters combat in minus-42-degree temperatures.

This is the story of the Defense of Hill 677, where Canadian forces suffered just 2 deaths while inflicting over 3,000 Chinese casualties. It's the battle that made Chinese commanders warn their troops about "ice demons" and caused American generals to request Canadians never be placed on their flanks—not from distrust, but because Canadian tactical decisions were too aggressive for standard doctrine.

Discover how superior marksmanship, extreme cold-weather training, and controversial tactics allowed a battalion-sized force to defeat a divisional assault. Learn about the Black Canadian soldiers whose contributions were erased from history, the indigenous war hero Sergeant Thomas Prince, and why this engagement became a case study in force multiplication that's still taught today.

The Korean War remains the "Forgotten War," and Canada's role even more obscure. But the truth of what happened on Hill 677 reveals something profound about training, determination, and the human capacity to perform under impossible conditions.
