Kenneth Hill Rowe    1932-2023

 

Two months

after the Korean War armistice,

Lt. No Kum-Sok

of the North Korean Air Force

broke away from his 16-plane patrol

near the nation’s capital, Pyongyang;

streaked undetected into South Korea

in his Soviet-built MIG jet fighter;

and landed at a military airfield manned

by the United States Air Force

and airmen from allied nations.

 

A veteran of more

than 100 combat flights,

the 21-year-old pilot climbed

out of his silver swept-wing plane,

which was emblazoned with a red star

and bristling with machine guns,

as astonished airmen

surrounded him.

 

He had fulfilled

his dream of fleeing Communism,

and he brought a gift

for the United States Air Force:

— the first intact MIG

to fall into its hands.

 

A year later,

he had a new name

— Kenneth Rowe —

and a new country,

having begun life in America

as a college student.

According to

Truth and Reconciliation

Commission,

 

(...)

 

on Jan. 19, 1951,

at least 51 villagers,

including 16 children,

were killed

when U.S. planes

napalmed Sansong,

a village 160 kilometers,

or 100 miles,

southeast of Seoul.

 

A day later, it said,

at least 167 villagers,

more than half of them women,

were burned to death

or asphyxiated in Tanyang,

35 kilometers north of Sansong,

when U.S. planes dropped napalm

at the entrance of a cave filled

The Battle of Chosin Reservoir

also known as

the Chosin Reservoir Campaign

or the Changjin Lake Campaign

was a decisive battle

in the Korean War.

 

Shortly after

the People's Republic of China

entered the conflict,

the People's Volunteer Army 9th Army

infiltrated the northeastern

part of North Korea

and surprised the US X Corps

at the Chosin Reservoir area.

 

A brutal 17 day battle

in freezing weather

soon followed.

 

In the period

between 27 November

and 13 December 1950,

30,000 United Nations (UN) troops

(nicknamed "The Chosin Few")

under the command

of Major General Edward Almond

were encircled by approximately

67,000 Chinese troops

under the command

of Song Shi-Lun.

 

Although Chinese troops

managed to surround

and outnumber the UN forces,

the UN forces broke out

of the encirclement

while inflicting crippling losses

on the Chinese.

 

The evacuation of the X Corps

from the port of Hungnam

marked the complete withdrawal

of UN troops from North Korea.

September 1950

 

China's intervention

 

 

In mid-September,

General MacArthur

brought off a masterstroke

by landing two divisions

240km (150 miles)

in the enemy rear

at the port of Inchon.

 

Their communications cut,

and under heavy

aerial bombardment,

the North Koreans broke

and fled back north;

 

MacArthur ordered a hot pursuit

which led across the 38th parallel

and deep into North Korea.

 

As the victorious UN forces

drew near

to the Manchurian border,

there were ominous

signals from Peking

that communist China

would intervene

to defend its territory.

 

In mid-October, MacArthur

met President Harry Truman

on Wake Island

in their first encounter to assure him

that a massive UN offensive

was about to conclude

the war victoriously by Christmas.

 

No sooner had this been launched

in November than the Chinese

unleashed their armies.

 

The UN forces recoiled

in disorder

and, by the new year,

were defending a line

well to the south of Seoul,

the capital of South Korea.

He parachuted into North Korea with United States troops

and retreated with them after forces from the North,

joined by the Chinese, pushed south.

 

He was in a Jeep

near the North Korean capital, Pyongyang,

when he spotted a bridge along the Taedong River

that had been bombed.

 

Thousands of refugees

were lined up on the north bank

waiting their turn to cross the river.

“We came across this incredible sight,”

 

Mr. Desfor said in 1997 for an A.P. oral history.

“All of these people who are literally

crawling through these broken-down girders of the bridge.

 

They were in and out of it, on top, underneath,

and just barely escaping the freezing water.”

 

“My hands got so cold

I could barely trip the shutter on my camera,” he said.

“I couldn’t even finish a full pack of film. It was just that cold.”"

Korean War    1950-1953

 

The Korean War began

when North Korean troops

pushed into South Korea

on June 25, 1950,

and it lasted until 1953.

 

But experts said

the military conflict

could not be properly

understood

without considering

its historical context.
 

 

Korea, a Japanese colony

from 1910 until 1945,

was occupied

by the United States

and the Soviet Union

at the end of World War II.

 

The United States proposed

temporarily dividing the country

along the 38th Parallel

as a way to maintain

its influence on the peninsula,

which bordered Russia,

said Charles K. Armstrong,

a professor of Korean history

at Columbia University.

 

“A divided Korea

was something unprecedented,”

he said.

 

But the divide lasted

in part because

of competing visions

among Koreans

for the country’s future.

 

“Fundamentally it was a civil war,

fought over issues going back

into Korea’s colonial experience,”

said Bruce Cumings,

a professor of history

at the University of Chicago.

 

In 1948,

the American-backed,

anti-communist

southern administration,

based in Seoul,

declared itself

the Republic of Korea.

 

It was led by Syngman Rhee,

who lived in exile

in the United States

for many years

and was installed

as the South Korean leader

by the Office of Strategic Services,

a predecessor

to the Central Intelligence Agency,

Professor Cumings said.

 

Soon after,

the Soviet-backed,

communist northern administration,

based in Pyongyang,

declared itself

the Democratic People’s

Republic of Korea.

 

Its leader was Kim Il-sung,

who fought

alongside communist forces

during the Chinese civil war

and was the grandfather

of North Korea’s

current dictator, Kim Jong-un.

 

Each regime was unstable,

rejected the legitimacy of the other

and considered itself to be Korea’s

sole rightful ruler.

 

Border skirmishes between the two

were frequent before the Korean War

began.

 

The war pitted

South Korea and the United States,

fighting under the auspices

of the United Nations,

against North Korea and China.

 

Other nations

contributed troops, too,

but American forces

did most of the fighting.

 

“The South Korean Army

virtually collapsed”

at the start of the war,

Professor Cumings said.

 

The Soviet Union

supported North Korea

at the beginning of the war,

giving it arms,

tanks and strategic advice.

 

But China soon emerged

as its most important ally,

sending soldiers

to fight in Korea

as a way to keep the conflict

away from its border.

 

The Chinese leader,

Mao Zedong,

also saw China’s

participation in the war

as a way to thank

Korean Communists

who fought

in the Chinese civil war,

Professor Cumings said.

 

“There was a lot

of field contact

between American

and Chinese forces,”

Professor Armstrong said.

 

“In a sense,

this was the first and only war

between China

and the United States,

so far.”

 

The war devastated Korea.

 

Historians said

that between three million

and four million people

were killed,

although firm figures

have never been produced,

particularly by the North Korean

government.

 

As many as 70 percent of the dead

may have been civilians.

 

Destruction

was particularly acute

in the North,

which was subjected

to years of American bombing,

including with napalm.

 

Roughly 25 percent

of its prewar population

was killed,

Professor Cumings said,

and many of the survivors

lived underground

by the war’s end.

 

“North Korea was flattened,”

he said.

 

“The North Koreans

see the American bombing

as a Holocaust,

and every child is taught

about it.”

 

Damage was also widespread

in South Korea,

where Seoul changed hands

four times.

 

But most combat took place

in the northern or central parts

of the peninsula

around the current Demilitarized Zone,

which divides the countries,

Professor Cumings said.
