The United States Army has just released a large number of videos from the Korean War to YouTube. I've only looked at a few, including the one here, but some of them are very interesting for the way they are produced. The narration and the accompanying music are quite dramatic. Apparently this was shown on television in the 1950s. It is an interesting look into what is a forgotten war in the US, but a specter that lingers every day in Korea.
Skip to around 6:30 for footage of the American invasion of Seoul. If those really are pictures of the city, it's amazing to see how much development has happened.

And there's a ton of amazing (AMAZING) still photographs on Flickr.
