The reference to British of course actually means Australians.

Again, Excuse me, NOONE IS EVER CALLED UP AS AIRBORNE. u silly f's. That's strictly Voluntary. Not that I don't appreciate ur effort, just maybe, spend a little more time researching

Thanks. 👊🏼✌🏻

When I watch these war stories and tales of incredible selflessness and bravery of these soldiers, I like to think that I too, would have the fortitude and strength of character to do the same. But I am not so sure that I would have the courage to not just follow orders and remain safe, while being able to justify my actions by saying “I followed my orders.

What a character. The best of the best.

They dont make men like that anymore just ones that think they can get pregnant

Not much of a secret when they have specific combat units made up of them

My son’s future best man’s grandfather was a spotter on an anti aircraft gun on the Tripitz

It still never penetrated the roof of the submarine pens in France.

This appears to be another exceptional series which I hope to share with my father who served in that war. I have to figure how to make it simple on a weekly basis for him to watch. He's 93 and I'm a 1000 miles away....working on it

Me lol

My grandad was chindit

'' Serbian war lord '' is funny characterisation and name calling. US bombed the country for more than 70 days.

You yap too fasr for me bye

U should really put your speed at normal , that fast talking is not what people want to hear. Your channel would grow rapidly with normal speed audio.

RIP, you warrior poet.

In a series of documentaries, “The Secrets of War” narrated by Charlton Heston in the 1990s, he stated that the U.S. would have used Chemical and Biological warfare artillery shells and bombs in their invasion of Japan which would have resulted in millions of dead Japanese soldiers and civilians. It also noted that both Japan and the U.S. had never signed onto the Geneva Convention outlawing the use of such weapons. It must be remembered that the Japanese Military had indoctrinated men, women and children to use spears, grenades and bomb packs against American soldiers invading the Japanese home islands.

WOW!

That boy got busier than a one legged man at an ass kicking contest , R.I.P WARRIOR !

Multiaccount Spamcrap

In the Army we had a Quaid 50 4 50 Cals mounted on the back end of a 5 ton wrecker.

Salute!!!

America: let's band marijuana... But we have multiple metal of honor veterans that won the war high. America: so

I dont think he is lying on his number. I imagine it sure felt like he did in a horrendous event like that. He said he doesnt really know. It is just his estimate. Im sure it was realistically over 200. Hell of a thing for a 20 year old to be forced to do. Sad.

Fact is 19 B29 planes were specially built for bombing Japan. Each one had their bomb bay’s especially customized to hold an atom bomb. Each bomb was of a different type that had a unique configuration which is why each plane was different. Those 19 planes had been delivered to Tinian Island weeks before the first bombs arrived. Don’t kid yourself there was only 2 bombs. Japans surrender just saved them from having more than 2 cities being bombed. The rest of the bombs were later used in testing in Nevada and the Pacific.

4:09 0h yeah gimme that bomb porn!

Not as devastating as Taco Bell!!

Do you mean a BF 110, as the 109 is a single engine plane

Lt Col. Churchill, meet Brigadier Mike Calvert. Brigadier Calvert, Lt. Col Jack Churchill.

Such a great true story, not often seen, I have watched it probably 10 times, true and true

Pretty arrogant to claim “you’ve never heard of…” If you have, you can bet others have also…

There are rumours that the decision to nuke Japan was racial motivated. Not knowing the full extend of the devastation a nuclear blast on a Population will have it would be an easier Sell to theAmerican Public if the “Labrats” were asian , not like a large portion of German/Americans. It has been a contention whether Japan had ready to surrender and the use of the Nukes were intended on the Post WW2 new Enemy, the Soviet Union. A demonstration of might and a dire warning. The US knew well before the surrender of Germany that WW2 was to be over soon and a new Enemy/Target was needed. ( Hey , Russia is full of natural resources and they rightfully belong to the US) BTW, anyone remember the little stunt Britain tried to pull in 1918, when just after WW1 and the turmoil of the Russian Revolution,they deployed Military into Russia? Well, let’s try it again using Ukraine, the Bewildered Herd wont connect the dots. Hence the utter surprise when relatively shortly after Hiroshima the damn Ruskies exploded their own Nuke, Dreads!

14600 "TON" small boat? BULLSHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! How about 16.000 + "pounds" fully loaded.

GOOD NIGHT CHESTY, WHEREVER YOU ARE

India was not an ‘integral part of the United Kingdom’

People (mostly Americans thanks to McArthur) often over look the New Guinea part of the pacific war. But the total campaign included not only the first land defeat of the Japanese by anyone, Milne bay by Australia. But also the totals are USA Kia 7000 Australia Kia 9000 Japan Kia 200,000 It started rough but became one of the most decisive victories of the war and happened in tandem with guadal canal and if you count them as 2 parts of the same battle which the Japanese do, it gets even more comprehensive with what the marines did at guadal canal

Combating evil is not cheap.

I grew up several miles away from where he was from, Defuniak Springs, FL. There are some tough ass good ole boys in the panhandle for sure. That area is also close to the a large Ranger battalion, where they do swamp training and SF Group now too.

I would have preferred coverage of the Disney bombs...😮. The Tallboys have been extensively covered in other videos.🤓

why is it not surprising to me he was born in Florida

Not to detract from the bravery of these men, but the world is still suffering from the decisions made by the British Empire, and their innate belief that White Men know best, innocent people are dying in Israel and Palestine. Decisions enforced by soldiers like Wingate, who, I’m sure, was only following orders.

Always thought the second Chindit campaign would make a good film.

Did you say 14,600 ton boats?

This war was only for france to keep its colony

Can think of only one word, Respect !

F. Spencer Chapman's "The Jungle is Neutral" is a classic book. An account of his war in Burma, mostly behind Japanese lines.

A bit like Blair Mayne

They had alot of drugs on all sides to help soldiers, i used read Sven Hassle books and they talked of giraffes cigarettes soaked in opium, you'd be useless at anything put pointing and shooting nothing involved with using your brain, wonder was that just a writer using his artistic license☘️

I didn't always agree with his political positions and agenda in Congress, but he absolutely has my eternal respect. I don't like to use the word Hero, as it wasn't Heroics that made him fight so fiercely, it was Patriotism. He was a Patriot. SSG. U.S. Army (Medically Retired) Infantry / Sniper / SOF Intel (SOT-A), multiple tours

Rotten Poms always turn their back on any one who has helped them
