Dobermans of the Pacific WWII (with USMC letter of commendation)

Usually, we think of German Shepherd as the dog of the military, but the Doberman Pinscher was also used. These war dogs performed various duties: were trained to find and rescue wounded soldiers, detect enemy locations and mines, act as messengers, sentries, and guard dogs. This video shows several photographs from the Dobermans that were used in the Pacific during World War II. You can also find a Letter of Commendation about one of them. In WWII, the USMC (U.S. Marine Corps) had their own K-9 Corps known as the “Devil’s Dogs“. Although not the most flattering name for a heroic group of dogs. These dogs received specialised training. The messenger dogs delivered messages, ammunition or medical supplies. The sentry dogs were trained to alert handlers of any enemy strangers approaching. These dogs prevented many ambushes as they stood watch protecting their sleeping, tired soldier handlers. In honor of these dogs, a memorial was created on the island of Guam in the South Pacific.
