Where was there a failed rescue attempt to free American POWs?

There have been various failed rescue attempts to free American prisoners of war (POWs) throughout history. One notable example is the attempted rescue of American POWs held in Son Tay Prison Camp in North Vietnam during the Vietnam War. In November 1970, a joint U.S. Army and Air Force task force carried out a daring operation called Operation Ivory Coast, but unfortunately, the prisoners had been moved prior to the raid, resulting in no successful rescues.


How did the U.S. rescue the Jews from the concentration camps?

The US did NOT "rescue Jews from the concentration camps." When the US and England had a chance to destroy Nazi concentration camps with bombing, they refused, preferring instead to bomb other military targets. Years later, at the end of the war, after six million Jews had already been murdered, some US troops participated in "liberating" a few Nazi camps. However, by then it was too late. There were very few Jews left alive.


What happened to those who try to rescue or hide Jews?

If someone was caught harboring a Jew, then they usually were brought to the concentration camps alos and got the same treatment as the Jews.


What is Ghost Soldiers about?

Ghost Soldier is by Hampton Sides and is about the account of the most successful rescue mission during WW2. A movie was made from this book with the title "The Raid". The story centers on the American prisoners of war that were held in a camp in the Philippines. These prisoners were remnants of those captured at Bataan early in the war. Many had been taken off the islands but approximately 500 remained.The Americans were advancing through Philippines and were getting close to the POW camp. They were afraid the Japs would kill or try to move the prisoners out, both of which could result in their deaths. They devised a plan to send a Ranger team behind enemy lines to attack the camp and rescue the prisoners.This was the most successful mission that involved the Rangers during WW2. The book is written with one chapter relating the events of the prisoners and the next chapter the events of the Rangers. This goes back and forth until the chapter of the raid. The book has a lot of great facts of this part of the campaign.The movie ends with actual WW2 film footage of the prisoners returning from the raid and their processing back to the US.
