Beginning of Operation Showdown of Korean War |
| |
U.S. and Republic of Korea forces were involved in this operation hoping to force an agreement of the POW repatriation issue that had helped suspend truce talks on October 8th. North Korean forces responded violently, resulting in the heaviest fighting since late in 1951. The failure of the mission led the U.S. to revive air pressure strategy rather than commit ground troops in the spring of 1953 to break that next truce deadlock. |
