Johnson used near the end of WWII at the Battle of Manila?

3 posts in this topic

There is a war documentary released by the Department of Defense in 1959 called the Battle of Manila. In it they show many scenes of that particular battle, which took place throughout the month of February 1945. I happened on a scene where one of the soldiers is toting a Johnson LMG. Is this proof that there was at least one Johnson LMG fighting on the Philippine islands all the way up until the end of World War II?

Screenshot of the image.

Battle of Manila can be watched on youtube. Johnson LMG scene is at 12:13 minute mark.

Great Film Would Have loved to seen the JLMG working maybe if you went frame by frame. Saw what might have been a BAR not sure but it had a bipod hanging on the front.

Thanks for the link.

In the PBS movie series "The WAR", there is a view of Special Forces using the LMG in Italy. More than just one view. Don't remember which of the sessions .
