Anybody find the footage of the “hedgehog teams” Dan references
Dan makes reference of some footage he once saw of American troops casually shooting Japanese wounded. I’ve been looking but can’t find it.

I just listened to that part - they were referred to as "possum patrols".

It comes from the US idiom "playing possum" which means feigning death.

Awesome thanks! 10:40 for anyone wondering the specific point Dan was talking about
Wow thank you for the link. Part III has already made me dig up my copy of With the Old Breed.
This is a really interesting video, do you have any other good ones to recommend?
