One last anecdote of note is that during his retirement years, it is claimed that he would throw his briefcase out of his train window on the way home, to the horror of passengers and conductors alike. He did this because his back garden was adjacent to the train line, saving him from having to carry his briefcase home from the station. A true madlad.
At El Alamein a Black Watch piper named Duncan MacIntyre was hit by two bursts of machine gun fire and was found in the morning with his fingers still on the chanters.
More like a side character who is way more interesting than the main character of the story. Like Auron, or Kenpachi, or that tough guy from Davey Crockett show from way back.
There is a story I've heard about him. Apparently, after the war he worked for some company for a short time. Each day while riding the train home he would throw out his suitcase at a certain point. One time, another commuter asked him what that was about and he replied that he didn't feel like carrying his suitcase home from the train station every day, so he threw it into his garden everytime the train passed his house. I'm not sure where I've heard this or if it's true, but I believe it.
TheTrohl this is true... He used to try and throw he briefcase at his own back garden. Didnt quite work when he moved to London and had to use The Tube

Note: he had a basket hilted broadsword, not a longsword. The basket hilted broadsword is a traditional weapon of Scotland, and is sometimes called a claymore.
My Grandad was a Royal Marine Commando - and he served with Mad Jack in Italy, Yugoslavia and Burma. He heard Jack playing Will Ye No Come Back Again :)
@@NodDisciple1 My grandad met him as well, although he didn't have any stories about him, he did tell me another story which always stayed with me. My grandad was out in Burma for 6 years or so, he caught the tail end of the war, and then became a guard at what was apparently at the time the biggest POW camp in the world, at Rangoon. One day, he was at the main gate doing his guard duty, and hundreds of communist locals turned up in the distance, intent on jailbreaking the whole camp which contained thousands of prisoners. My grandad was stood there with a few other guards, and as a sergeant, he was in charge of the guards. He sounded the alarm, and then prepped a defence with 5 or 6 men at this main gate, which would have been absolutely futile against a large hostile force, but there wasn't much else he could do. Anyway, this communist force started advancing toward the camp from a few hundred metres away, and all my grandad and his men could do was watch them get closer and closer, knowing they were about to die. This went on for a few minutes, and my grandad's men were joined by a dozen or so guards from within the camp, but all the other guards had to stay inside to watch over the prisoners. When the communists started getting within firing range, the guards started shooting at them, but they still kept advancing slowly. At this point, my grandad heard an engine on the main road off to the side of the gate, and a lone British tank came chugging along. The tank commander quickly surmised that the shit was hitting the fan, and parked right in front of the guards, and aimed the gun turret in the direction of the communists. On seeing this, the communists shat their pants, ran away, and never came back again. What the communists didn't know, was that the tank was on it's way to be repaired, and it had no ammo on board. It just happened to be passing as all this was happening, and thanks to the quick thinking of the tank commander, my grandad and his men survived and it means I'm around to tell the story. The tank commander's name was Captain Kirk, and my grandad not knowing the first thing about Star Trek, always wondered why I found that funny. Sorry I don't have a Mad Jack Churchill story, but I always liked my grandads. Different breed those guys.
Funnier than that, we only developed 3 bombs. 1 was tested, 2 were dropped, but Japan didn't call our bluff that we had more. They surrendered because we bullshited them. I mean, the two empty plots of land that used to be cities helped, but we still lied.

You missed the best part of his Dunkirk experience, he disappeared for a while and returned to Dunkirk on a stolen motorcycle with a German officer’s cap draped on its headlight
I can image this man storming the German line playing the pipes. then busting open a bunker door still playing and a scared German shoots him through the bag pipes. Then Churchill looks down sees the bullet wound looks back up at the German throws the ruin pipes to the side and drawing his sword whilr saying "you done fucked up lad." and proceeds to massacre the entire force in the bunker like vader did at the end of rogue one all the while the Germans are trying their best to kill him and get out of the bunker.
I can imagine a Britain about to surrender being rescued by the americans, again...which they then look down on because they have a more open mind toward "freedom"...get your country together...
You should do an Absolute Mad Lad on Miyamoto Musashi, a japanese bloke who killed another famous swordsman with a wooden blade he carved out of an Oar that he used to get to the island they were scheduled to duel on.
You should do a madlad episode on Simo Häyhä, a simple Finnish farmer who became a sniper when the soviets invaded Finland and he ended up killing 500 commies with a rifle and 200 more with a SMG. The soviets were terrified of him and called him "White Death" probably due to his white snow camouflage clothing.
well, kind of. SMG implies closed to mid quarters firefights. Also when asked by a reporter " whats it like to kill a man?" - His reply was this " I don't know, [I have never killed a man before] only Communists. " The True Mad Boi was known to stay in the feild of ops for 7-10 days solid in the -20°F degree weather, and would scavenge rations from his kills along with hunting wild game. After a few weeks went by it was rumored/confirmed that if the woods grew quiet - too quiet and only the whirl of the snow drift being heard, it was more than likely too late for you (as its implied that the wildlife avoided him at instinct. )
European armed marshal arts are far better tbh than eastern ones, and given the choice between a katana and a basket hilt broadsword (even the later style with more of a straight sabre blade) I'd go for the broadsword every time, I find most katanas odd in that they have the blade length of a one handed sword with a longer two handed grip which is just daft as you loose range, not to mention they have no effective guard whatsoever. The broadsword has superior hand protection about the same blade length but given its one handed you have more range, and its double edged so its far more versatile. And tbh I've no idea what caused me to write all that but fuck it lol
@@Estoyvendiendo That's right, he wore a kilt and carried the broadsword as its tradition for officers in Scottish regiments to do so (not so much by WW2 lol but certainly in earlier centuries after the failed Jacobite risings), even if they're English.
The bit about the Germans not shooting him, thinking he was insane, is half-true. True story, wrong guy. That happened to Bill Millin. Another Piper. During a bridge crossing, I think.
If you like Jack Churchill, you may also want to look up Alfred Wintle. Another glorious, unkillable madman that they don't make anymore. Also had some supremely badass quotes to his name: "Great War peace signed at last." (diary, 19 June 1919) "I declare private war on Germany." (diary, 20 June 1919) "Guy Fawkes was the last man to enter Parliament with good intentions. You need another like me to carry on his good work." "Stop dying at once and when you get up, get your bloody hair cut." (to Trooper Cedric Mays, 1st Royal Dragoons, who recovered and lived to the age of 95)
"stop dying at once!" "Y-yes sir, very well, sir." Begins stuffing his intestines and organs back into his body and sews it up while promptly going bald. Decades later death comes for him. He screams and begs at first to not take him. Death lets him know "Alfred sent me." And he sighs with relief and is granted the sweet release of death.
forgot his best quote when he broke his leg with a horse riding accident "I did not fall off my horse as a dentist might. A horse fell on top of me and broke my leg."
Concussive grenades were not non-lethal weaponry. In fact, they were highly lethal, just in a different way that decreased their range such that soldiers could fairly safely toss them shorter distances, but they had a much greater explosive charge than the frag grenades issued, because they needed more to be lethal. They were also used for demolitions, because of the large charge.
With the second escape theory the reason for the Wermacht's stubbornness and subsequent release of the prisoners was apparently due to the commander being a Knight Hospitaler and upholding code.
knights Hospitaler - aka knight of st John. Today known as st Johns Ambulance. People forget the first thing the Nazi conquered was the rest of the German people.
If it was Austria it could have even been the Wermacht unit that was working with the resistance and later teamed up with resistance civvies, a few platoons from the US, and a bunch of escaped French VIP civilian prisoners to hold a castle against an SS group. Now that would be a cool crossover.

Ah, good old Mad Jack Churchill, loved reading bout his exploits while I researched military history. However, one thing. At 4:30 you talk about the roomer that the Germans didn’t shoot him cause they thought he was mad. That wasn’t Churchill, but instead Bill Millin on D-day. Another amazing mad lad of Scotland and WW2. “Millin is best remembered for playing the pipes whilst under fire during the D-Day landing in Normandy. Pipers had traditionally been used in battle by Scottish and Irish soldiers. However, the use of bagpipes was restricted to rear areas by the time of the Second World War by the British Army. Lovat, nevertheless, ignored these orders and ordered Millin, then aged 21, to play. When Private Millin demurred, citing the regulations, he recalled later, Lord Lovat replied: "Ah, but that’s the English War Office. You and I are both Scottish, and that doesn’t apply." He played "Highland Laddie" "The Road to the Isles" and "All the blue bonnets are over the border" as his comrades fell around him on Sword Millin states that he later talked to captured German snipers who claimed they did not shoot at him because they thought he had gone mad. Millin, whom Lovat had appointed his personal piper during commando training at Achnacarry, near Fort William in Scotland, was the only man during the landing who wore a kilt - it was the same Cameron tartan kilt his father had worn in Flanders during World War I - and he was armed only with his pipes and the sgian-dubh, or "black knife", sheathed inside his kilt-hose on the right side. In keeping with Scottish tradition, he wore no underwear beneath the kilt. He later told author Peter Caddick-Adams that the coldness of the water took his breath away. Lovat and Millin advanced from Sword to Pegasus Bridge, which had been defiantly defended by men of the 2nd Bn the Ox & Bucks Light Infantry (6th Airborne Division) who had landed in the early hours by glider. Lovat's commandos arrived at a little past one p.m. at Pegasus Bridge although the rendezvous time in the plan was noon. To the sound of Millin's bagpipes, the commandos marched across Pegasus Bridge. During the march, twelve men died, most shot through their berets. Later detachments of the commandos rushed across in small groups with helmets on. Millin's D-Day bagpipes were later donated to Dawlish Museum. A set of pipes he used later in the campaign, after the originals became damaged, were donated to the now "Pegasus Bridge Museum".”
Here a suggestion for the next mad lads, Leo Major the one eyed one man army. How captured a light armored German vehicle...by himself, after losing an eye by getting a incendiary grenade thrown at him refuse to be sent home. " I only need one eye to sight in a rifle." Who captured 93 German soldiers while under fire by the ss...by himself. Who freed the Dutch town of Zwolle from a garrison of German...by himself. Then we go to Korea were the Americans were pushed of hill 355 by the Chinese army Majors and 19 other men (all snipers). Was tasked with retaking the hill, (from 40000 Chinese troops.) Well he said "hold my beer" cause he and his 19 man took back hill 355 and for 3 days of counterattack by the Chinese. 2 full division(Again 40k men) held the hill till reinforce. Majors and Jack would have gotten along really well.
Lt Colonel Churchill was nominated for the VC, downgraded to the DSO, unfairly I believe. He, with 140 others while transferred by the SS to the Alpine Fortress in Tyrol , was saved from execution by the by Werhmacht troops led by Capt Wichard von Alvensleben, a Knight of the Order of Saint John. Mad Jack's story was told in "Unlimited Boldness" written by Rex King-Clark, hard to find but a good read. His brother Robert 'Buster' Churchill was a pilot in Fleet Air Arm, and his other brother Maj General Thomas Churchill, was CO of 2nd Commando Brigade. A family of 'Mad Lads'.
My Dad was in number 2 Commando in WW2 and Mad Jack was at one point his leader . He told me a lot about how inspirational he was and about his capture . In the early 80s there was a Commando reunion and Jack remembered Dad by his nickname ( which really impressed my Dad ) because Dad at one point was used by American Intelligence & used to draw maps and cartoon jokes . I am not sure if its true but Dad told me that Jack was seriously tortured because they thought he was a relative of Churchills.
Hey, some German soldiers were very compassionate during the war. There was a story of a german fighter escorting a wounded Allied bomber back to friendly lines.
@Der Blitzkrieg What makes you think the German pilot was in any way a NAZI? Both he and his brother had voted AGAINST Hitler's NAZI party, indeed his brother was very vocal in his condemnation of Hitler.
Yeah, most of the germans were just following orders otherwise they would've been executed themselves and weren't bad people. I thought that was a well known fact
Winston Chuchill Jack Churchill -is fatter than a whale -is very thicc -didn't slay with the bagpipes -slayed with the bagpipe -didn't evacuate 700 jews -evacuated 700 jews -yelled orders in his war room -killed people with swords -weighed 5873497 tons -rode a motorcycle around Burma

@@acedia_14 If true that would be wowing, though.
Any other stories about Mad Jack?
@@NodDisciple1 My grandad met him as well, although he didn't have any stories about him, he did tell me another story which always stayed with me.
My grandad was out in Burma for 6 years or so, he caught the tail end of the war, and then became a guard at what was apparently at the time the biggest POW camp in the world, at Rangoon. One day, he was at the main gate doing his guard duty, and hundreds of communist locals turned up in the distance, intent on jailbreaking the whole camp which contained thousands of prisoners. My grandad was stood there with a few other guards, and as a sergeant, he was in charge of the guards. He sounded the alarm, and then prepped a defence with 5 or 6 men at this main gate, which would have been absolutely futile against a large hostile force, but there wasn't much else he could do. Anyway, this communist force started advancing toward the camp from a few hundred metres away, and all my grandad and his men could do was watch them get closer and closer, knowing they were about to die.
This went on for a few minutes, and my grandad's men were joined by a dozen or so guards from within the camp, but all the other guards had to stay inside to watch over the prisoners. When the communists started getting within firing range, the guards started shooting at them, but they still kept advancing slowly. At this point, my grandad heard an engine on the main road off to the side of the gate, and a lone British tank came chugging along. The tank commander quickly surmised that the shit was hitting the fan, and parked right in front of the guards, and aimed the gun turret in the direction of the communists. On seeing this, the communists shat their pants, ran away, and never came back again.
What the communists didn't know, was that the tank was on it's way to be repaired, and it had no ammo on board. It just happened to be passing as all this was happening, and thanks to the quick thinking of the tank commander, my grandad and his men survived and it means I'm around to tell the story. The tank commander's name was Captain Kirk, and my grandad not knowing the first thing about Star Trek, always wondered why I found that funny.
Sorry I don't have a Mad Jack Churchill story, but I always liked my grandads. Different breed those guys.

You should do an Absolute Mad Lad on Miyamoto Musashi, a japanese bloke who killed another famous swordsman with a wooden blade he carved out of an Oar that he used to get to the island they were scheduled to duel on.
What about Zatoichi, the blind samurai who had a straight katana made so the sheath would look like a walking stick?
What about him? Zatoichi is a fictional swordfighter from a book. Miyamoto Musashi is a real sword fighter who wrote a book.
How'd he get back from the island?
Fast travel
You forgot how Musashi killed whole Yoshioka school by himself
You should do a madlad episode on Simo Häyhä, a simple Finnish farmer who became a sniper when the soviets invaded Finland and he ended up killing 500 commies with a rifle and 200 more with a SMG. The soviets were terrified of him and called him "White Death" probably due to his white snow camouflage clothing.
He isn't a mad lad though he is technically god tier sniper
well, kind of. SMG implies closed to mid quarters firefights.
Also when asked by a reporter " whats it like to kill a man?" - His reply was this " I don't know, [I have never killed a man before] only Communists. "
The True Mad Boi was known to stay in the feild of ops for 7-10 days solid in the -20°F degree weather, and would scavenge rations from his kills along with hunting wild game. After a few weeks went by it was rumored/confirmed that if the woods grew quiet - too quiet and only the whirl of the snow drift being heard, it was more than likely too late for you (as its implied that the wildlife avoided him at instinct. )
Best kind of killing is commie killing

European armed marshal arts are far better tbh than eastern ones, and given the choice between a katana and a basket hilt broadsword (even the later style with more of a straight sabre blade) I'd go for the broadsword every time, I find most katanas odd in that they have the blade length of a one handed sword with a longer two handed grip which is just daft as you loose range, not to mention they have no effective guard whatsoever. The broadsword has superior hand protection about the same blade length but given its one handed you have more range, and its double edged so its far more versatile.
And tbh I've no idea what caused me to write all that but fuck it lol
@@Estoyvendiendo That's right, he wore a kilt and carried the broadsword as its tradition for officers in Scottish regiments to do so (not so much by WW2 lol but certainly in earlier centuries after the failed Jacobite risings), even if they're English.

If you like Jack Churchill, you may also want to look up Alfred Wintle. Another glorious, unkillable madman that they don't make anymore. Also had some supremely badass quotes to his name:
"Great War peace signed at last." (diary, 19 June 1919)
"I declare private war on Germany." (diary, 20 June 1919)
"Guy Fawkes was the last man to enter Parliament with good intentions. You need another like me to carry on his good work."
"Stop dying at once and when you get up, get your bloody hair cut." (to Trooper Cedric Mays, 1st Royal Dragoons, who recovered and lived to the age of 95)
"stop dying at once!"
"Y-yes sir, very well, sir." Begins stuffing his intestines and organs back into his body and sews it up while promptly going bald.
Decades later death comes for him. He screams and begs at first to not take him. Death lets him know "Alfred sent me." And he sighs with relief and is granted the sweet release of death.
"Stop dying at once and when you get up, get your bloody hair cut." So basically divine power...
forgot his best quote when he broke his leg with a horse riding accident "I did not fall off my horse as a dentist might. A horse fell on top of me and broke my leg."
What a fuckin madlad. Big dick energy
Imagine bagpipes during war, so motivating
so no ones going to mention the fact that he was knocked out by a GRENADE??? even explosives couldnt keep him down
Concussive grenades were a thing at the time.
Concussive grenades were not non-lethal weaponry. In fact, they were highly lethal, just in a different way that decreased their range such that soldiers could fairly safely toss them shorter distances, but they had a much greater explosive charge than the frag grenades issued, because they needed more to be lethal. They were also used for demolitions, because of the large charge.
His troops must’ve had so much faith in him when he picked the sword up for the stealth mission. Then died inside when he picked up the bagpipe
If I didn't already know who this absolute unit was I'd have assumed you were describing the plot of the next Assassin's Creed game.

Edit: Also i love the mad lad series. More
With the second escape theory the reason for the Wermacht's stubbornness and subsequent release of the prisoners was apparently due to the commander being a Knight Hospitaler and upholding code.
knights Hospitaler - aka knight of st John. Today known as st Johns Ambulance. People forget the first thing the Nazi conquered was the rest of the German people.
If it was Austria it could have even been the Wermacht unit that was working with the resistance and later teamed up with resistance civvies, a few platoons from the US, and a bunch of escaped French VIP civilian prisoners to hold a castle against an SS group. Now that would be a cool crossover.

Mad Jack Churchill, the reason we say “great” alongside “Britain”
Ah, good old Mad Jack Churchill, loved reading bout his exploits while I researched military history.
However, one thing. At 4:30 you talk about the roomer that the Germans didn’t shoot him cause they thought he was mad.
That wasn’t Churchill, but instead Bill Millin on D-day. Another amazing mad lad of Scotland and WW2.
“Millin is best remembered for playing the pipes whilst under fire during the D-Day landing in Normandy. Pipers had traditionally been used in battle by Scottish and Irish soldiers. However, the use of bagpipes was restricted to rear areas by the time of the Second World War by the British Army. Lovat, nevertheless, ignored these orders and ordered Millin, then aged 21, to play. When Private Millin demurred, citing the regulations, he recalled later, Lord Lovat replied: "Ah, but that’s the English War Office. You and I are both Scottish, and that doesn’t apply." He played "Highland Laddie" "The Road to the Isles" and "All the blue bonnets are over the border" as his comrades fell around him on Sword Millin states that he later talked to captured German snipers who claimed they did not shoot at him because they thought he had gone mad.
Millin, whom Lovat had appointed his personal piper during commando training at Achnacarry, near Fort William in Scotland, was the only man during the landing who wore a kilt - it was the same Cameron tartan kilt his father had worn in Flanders during World War I - and he was armed only with his pipes and the sgian-dubh, or "black knife", sheathed inside his kilt-hose on the right side. In keeping with Scottish tradition, he wore no underwear beneath the kilt. He later told author Peter Caddick-Adams that the coldness of the water took his breath away.
Lovat and Millin advanced from Sword to Pegasus Bridge, which had been defiantly defended by men of the 2nd Bn the Ox & Bucks Light Infantry (6th Airborne Division) who had landed in the early hours by glider. Lovat's commandos arrived at a little past one p.m. at Pegasus Bridge although the rendezvous time in the plan was noon. To the sound of Millin's bagpipes, the commandos marched across Pegasus Bridge. During the march, twelve men died, most shot through their berets. Later detachments of the commandos rushed across in small groups with helmets on. Millin's D-Day bagpipes were later donated to Dawlish Museum. A set of pipes he used later in the campaign, after the originals became damaged, were donated to the now "Pegasus Bridge Museum".”
it may very well be how the saying was started
Jack wasn't Scottish.
Here a suggestion for the next mad lads, Leo Major the one eyed one man army. How captured a light armored German vehicle...by himself, after losing an eye by getting a incendiary grenade thrown at him refuse to be sent home. " I only need one eye to sight in a rifle." Who captured 93 German soldiers while under fire by the ss...by himself. Who freed the Dutch town of Zwolle from a garrison of German...by himself.
Then we go to Korea were the Americans were pushed of hill 355 by the Chinese army Majors and 19 other men (all snipers). Was tasked with retaking the hill, (from 40000 Chinese troops.) Well he said "hold my beer" cause he and his 19 man took back hill 355 and for 3 days of counterattack by the Chinese. 2 full division(Again 40k men) held the hill till reinforce.
Majors and Jack would have gotten along really well.
I actually live about... 20-30 minutes from Zwolle. Good to know.
Lt Colonel Churchill was nominated for the VC, downgraded to the DSO, unfairly I believe. He, with 140 others while transferred by the SS to the Alpine Fortress in Tyrol , was saved from execution by the by Werhmacht troops led by Capt Wichard von Alvensleben, a Knight of the Order of Saint John. Mad Jack's story was told in "Unlimited Boldness" written by Rex King-Clark, hard to find but a good read. His brother Robert 'Buster' Churchill was a pilot in Fleet Air Arm, and his other brother Maj General Thomas Churchill, was CO of 2nd Commando Brigade. A family of 'Mad Lads'.
My Dad was in number 2 Commando in WW2 and Mad Jack was at one point his leader . He told me a lot about how inspirational he was and about his capture . In the early 80s there was a Commando reunion and Jack remembered Dad by his nickname ( which really impressed my Dad ) because Dad at one point was used by American Intelligence & used to draw maps and cartoon jokes . I am not sure if its true but Dad told me that Jack was seriously tortured because they thought he was a relative of Churchills.
Hey, some German soldiers were very compassionate during the war. There was a story of a german fighter escorting a wounded Allied bomber back to friendly lines.
The bomber pilot and Nazi fighter pilot apparently got to meet each other once again, though on friendly terms.
