      Fun fact: Wojtek "smoked" cigarettes by eating cigs that were specifically lit. If the cigarette was not lit, he would spit it out.

  • @agentalf7961
    @agentalf7961 Рік тому +656

    In the paradox game hearts of iron 4, when playing as Poland there is a hidden focus tree that allows you to get Wojtek as a general when controlling Iran and Italy. He can then become field Marshal. Finally, if the Soviet Union is defeated and Poland raids NKVD documents, the then king Anastasia Romanov is found fraud, and Wojtek can become the king of Poland, and then the Slavic world.

    My nan's "man friend" (both widows who lost their significant others, they had been friends when they were younger, and got together after the demise of their partners), was in the regiment with Wojtek (pronounced Voytech), he used to tell me stories about the bear when I was little. Wojtek used to drink beer, smoke cigarettes, and play fight with the men, essentially he saw himself as one of them, he even had his own passport. Because of his size and strength he was able to carry munitions with ease. He was a great bear who did a lot for the Polish army. Sadly the man friend passed away in 2011, and my nan died in June 2022. It's great to see a video on this because a lot of people don't know about Wojtek.

  • @nowisdumb9773
    @nowisdumb9773 Рік тому +90

    In regards to the closing statement, “there is a darker side to the animal kingdom”, the three stories shows us it’s likely to be us primates. The first story, the bear’s habits appear to be the result of the natural environment living with humans. This story with the bear is quite unique as it’s behavior was not forced upon or forcefully controlled. The second story, Chimp War, it’s likely to be a biological instinct just like humans with greed and power. The third story with the moose, is humans attempting to control its biological behavior for human interest.

    • @CantTellYou
      @CantTellYou Рік тому +6

      Solid theory but bears & moose are brutal even without the involvement of us primates, geese are often rapists, many species are cannibals of their own “families”, gators & crocs will try to murder anything possible, and we can go on all day

    • @nowisdumb9773

      @@CantTellYou that is certainly brutal. Perhaps most animals have a darker side. I know in the insect 🐜 world, for example fire ants coordinate attacks like military units to bring destruction and death to their enemy. Same observations can be found in the microscopic world.
      Then my observation was leaning towards who is farther in that darker side. I’ll argue that is our species. We have cannibals, murderers, raise terror, nukes, etc… all the worst things possible. On a brighter note, most of humans are not in that darker side of the spectrum.

    Aight, there's probably gonna be like a million low effort comments here in a day or two about how this guy butchers "Wojtek", but before that happens i want to give some perspective:
    Wojtek is pronounced Voy-Tec (exactly as the correction in the description states, thank you for that.) Now, this may not seem like a big difference, but here's how Wojtek would be written if it was written the same way disrupt pronounces it: "Łodżitek." Notice how this is a whole-ass new word, and is actually much closer to our pronunciation of Logitech (Lodżitek) than Wojtek. You probably won't relate if you're not bi-lingual but, just trust me on this, every single time he utters that cursed word, i come one step closer to tearing my face off in anguish. It's one of those feelings you just can't put into words, like looking at someone typing "google" into google to get to google.
    Oh, yeah, the video's great btw, just had to get this of my chest LOL. Just, please, next time you need to pronounce a foreign word, just put it into google translate and press the speaker for a reference.
    Thank You for coming to my Kurwa talk.

    Keep up the videos man. The views will go back up after people forget about the drama and when a cool new banger drops.

      The views are down because the videos arent as good, nobody even cares about that now. People say they miss Jak.

    the editing is really jarring for this video. Doesn't fit the tone of the writing or narration at all
