4 Bizarre Events from World War II

World War II was filled with events so surreal they seem impossible to believe. In this video, we explore four real events that defy logic and reveal the most unexpected side of the conflict.

First, we revisit the terror faced by the USS Indianapolis survivors, who, after their ship sank, spent days adrift in the ocean, surrounded by hungry sharks. Then, we uncover the secret of the Ghost Army, an Allied unit that used inflatable tanks and sound effects to deceive the enemy and change the course of the war.

Next, we dive into the incredible story of Yang Kyoungjong, the Korean soldier who, against his will, fought for three different armies—Japanese, Soviet, and German—before being captured by the Americans. And finally, one of the strangest projects of the war: the alleged Nazi attempt to train sea lions for underwater espionage, a plan that ended in mystery.

Four events that prove that in war, reality can be even more unbelievable than fiction.
