Witness the incredible true story of the Battle of Chosin Reservoir—one of the most brutal battles in U.S. Marine Corps history. In November 1950, during the Korean War, 30,000 Marines found themselves surrounded by 120,000 Chinese soldiers in freezing temperatures of 35 below zero. This is the story of Corporal James Ransome (composite character) and the Marines who fought for 17 days in conditions so extreme that weapons froze, plasma bottles turned to ice, and the cold became as deadly as the enemy. Learn how these warriors refused to surrender, carried their wounded and dead 78 miles through enemy territory, and emerged as legends. 🎖️ Battle Bound Tales brings you authentic American military veteran stories from WWII, Vietnam, Korea, Iraq, Afghanistan, and beyond.
