The Korean War 069 - Conquered...But At What Cost? - October 14, 1951

Overview

The Battle of Heartbreak Ridge ends with victory for the UN forces, though the casualty count is alarmingly high for both sides. One must wonder, is that sustainable? It's a week of action, as Operation Commando continues further west. The Commonwealth Division takes Maryang-San, but taking it and holding it are two different things. A 9th Corps offensive kicks off as well, slowly grinding forward. There's a breakthrough away from the battlefield, as both sides finally agree on a site for any future peace talks- Panmunjom.
