Wojtek is probably the most famous non-fictional bear of all time. He is fondly remembered many decades later for his contribution to the war. He is also still heavily discussed amongst Polish people to this very day. He's almost like a folk hero in some aspects.
Never heard about this fight with other bear. What i think is important too, is that Wojtek, while in the Zoo, never liked being with other bears, eventually been given his own pen. He liked humans more. Always got cheerfull hearing polish language. Oh, and oranges weren't the only thing brought by old comrades, as they would sometimes jump into his pen, to wrestle him, just like in the old days. One more thing to say - everybody gangsta, till a bear starts carrying ammo crates
Eh, although this content is really good, it is way to narrow to be important knowledge. So, while this channel might cover specific aspects (nothing wrong with that), actual education teaches more important stuff.
Teachers usually find it hard to make it entertaining To be good at history you need to remember stuff and it's hard to remember stuff that you find boring
Two fun facts: 1. Wojtek loved eating cigarettes, the were his favorite snack! And the Polish soldiers also snuck those in during their visits to the zoo. 2. Monte Casino was taken by the Polish during the 4th offensive and there is a photo of Polish soldiers lifting up the Polish flag on the mountain. It very much resembles the photo from Iwo Jima after the Americans had taken it. My grandpa told me a story that the English told the Polish soldiers to take their flag down, and put the British flag up instead, because officially the Poles were a part of the British Army. The Poles responded by immediately putting their rifles up and threatening everyone who would dare to come close. The issue needed to be resolved by the superiors of the two sides, who decided to leave the Polish flag there. Today, there is a great cemetery under monte cassino dedicated to the Polish army.
Not going to lie, a country that carries their flag proud even if your allies from another country tells you to take it down. Pure freedom, just so damn pure
Have you got a source for #2 other than your grandpa? I know a lot about the battle and I've heard about the polish participation, one of their military songs 'czerwone maki na monte cassino' comes from it. But I've never heard a single thing about the British objecting them to using their flag when the Brits were fine with every other nation including nations of the commonwealth using theirs. If you haven't I'd suggest everyone treat it with a grain of salt. The amount of myths that have been created about WW2 by people claiming they 'were told a story about X by Mein Opa' has become so notorious it's literally a meme.
Every country has its own fair share of known soldiers from war huh Philippines with their teacher that turned to a guerilla warrior and had a special technique of stabbing necks Canada with that one dude who took an entire town alone, initially with a lil help of another guy before dying Britain with Mad Jack Churchill, mf who went to war with a longbow and a sword and ofc Poland with their little Wojtek who's wholesome af and a good boi too, ofc mischevious too sometimes
@@serbiamp4 here’s the thing. I’m from Québec and we don’t talk about Léo Major or any of the World Wars in our history classes… which is a fucking travesty and we had to wait until our current prime minister for the WW2 vets to actually get some recognition with Major at the forefront of that recognition… because liberating a city all by yourself is kind of a big thing. But yeah, because some people here in Québec don’t really like war, they decided to disregard THEIR COMPATRIOTS WHO PUT THEIR LIVES ON THE LINE AND/OR DIED SO WE WOULD BE FREE! Again, good thing on Legault for opening the eyes of people on that.
You missed the best part! This bear once legit captured at least one POW, when a spy sneaked into the camp at night. The bear cornered him in the bathroom, I think it was, and proceeded to scare him so bad that the guy was begging for the poles to rescue him.
I read that Wojtek liked to grab a person by its legs and twist in the air, just for fun (was taught by the soldiers). So when he came across the spy, he did the same thing. The spy thought he is going to be eaten alive :)
And that only happened because of those shower shortages. Wojtek was desperate to get to showers, so he happened to break in to the same place this spy happened to hide in.
Fun fact: Winnipeg was another live bear that became a mascot, but for Royal Canadian Army Veterinary Corps. The bear then later became the inspiration for Winnie the Pooh.
Also, in North Africa, Wojtek helped to cought Italian spy. He hide in showers and left open door. Wojtek used the occasion and discover him. Screams alarmed the Poles and arrested him as quickly as he told everything in interrogation (they scared him meeting with bear once more)
Love y’all’s channel, it’s crazy how the animation went from 2d to very realistic in such a short time. Unlike other historical channels, you don’t do the “boring” stuff. Keep it up.
Always loved this story but found it so sad when they had to part ways with him in the end. The bear must feel so confused sitting in a zoo all day now. Wish one of the soldiers atleast kept him. Him bringing all those crates meant the army probably didnt have to move once from their position raining an endless barrage of ammunition upon their foes. A crucial role. RIP Wojtek.
@@Slurpified think again, bud. These Polish soldiers couldn't return to Poland 'cause the Soviets were occupying, I'm pretty sure they all remained in the UK, which is very small and easy to take a trip anywhere within. I bet he got two to four visits a week.
@@ivanvarela3215 yeah having wojtek is kinda a therapy device having a animal and your family under Soviet rule he’s the only one who they had besides their own troops
I have a suggestion, give Wojtek a cameo in every video! If there were scenes of a cafeteria/mess hall he'd be in the corner eating or flying a plane in the background of a video!
Hilarious as it was, it was an administrative thing. Polish: We want to trake our company mascot with us. British: Sorry, unit mascots (company, regimental, etc...) are not allowed even if they are official mascots. (hint for those not in the know: that's an actual thing) Polish: So now it's no longer an unit mascot: he is now officially a soldier, complete with all his paperwork. British: *You bloody SOB, do you know how much paperwork is to refuse transport for a soldier at wartime?!?* _Uh, wait one for me to recover my British composture and stiff upper lip..._ Yeah, have it your way. Welcome aboard, Private Wojtek. Not even sayoing that in jest. OK, the depiction of the British reaction was in jest, but the description wasn't.
I love how it's just like "Oh yeah the Brits happened to have a bear as well", like it's the most normal thing in the world for infantry platoons to have bears with them.
Out of all the history related channels I have watched Yarnhub always comes out on top with details and perspectives of these stories that I would never have seen otherwise. So, thank you Yarnhub for what you do.
I've noticed that they often include details that other channels don't. I think it's because other established channels probably all use the same script writers or primary sources.
This channel needs to be in classrooms EVERYWHERE I love history, the lessons it teaches and the memories it allows us to retain, but the way it's taught is so aged it feels like stepping back into the Revolutionary Era of schools. If I could have had this type of learning instead, I might have gone on to major in military history instead of teaching it to my friends whilst playing a WW2 game x.x
To the brave men of the Polish army , I want to say thank you for sharing wojtek with us so we can learn what fabulous relationships can be forged. Even between man and bear, soldiers all the same, fighting for their families. Wherever they are
Reminds me of another bear, this one in the German camp. In the book ‘A Higher Call’, Franz Stigler narrates how his squadron back in Germany had a bear of their own who would happily dive in the pool with the Luftwaffe pilots while on leave and also unintenionally scaring the ladies and children away. But he was very friendly and loved German beer.
Wojtek is loved here. That I can be sure of. I mean I am so very happy to see Corporal Wojtek gets some jolly much well deserved recognition! God bless and long live Wojtek!
Channels like this are unique because they present history that would be unknown to most people, and to those who actually care about history, did you honestly know that a bear ‘fought’ in WW2? Because, I didn’t even know about this, and I love history.
I may be young, but I’m also a huge WW2 history buff, I know a little about everything, I knew about the bear, but over time forget the details like the ammunition and catching an Italian spy. I mainly focus on the tech and machinery of WW2 lol
Rest in peace Woktek the best soldier in the Polish army during World War 2. Even though he's actually a 🐻 bear but yet he is actually a war hero. 🐻🪖👍🇵🇱🪖
I’ve seen several versions of this bear’s story. This is by far the best, in my opinion. And it had a couple details not in the other versions. Also, I really like the narrator’s voice in this, and all the Yarnhub videos. Perfect voice for narration.
i remember first watching this channel when it was small and to see how much it has grown brings a tear into my eye. Well deserved :) 👏 let's reach a million
There’s a Canadian connection to the honey-loving character brought to life by A. A. Milne. Winnie-the-Pooh was based on a real-life bear who lived in the London Zoo. He got there thanks to a Canadian soldier and veterinarian named Harry Colebourn. WW1. It all started in White River, Ontario. Harry was at a train station where he bought a little bear cub for $20. That would be about $429 in today’s dollars! He named the cub “Winnipeg Bear” after the town he grew up in. That’s where the name “Winnie” comes from, it’s actually a nickname!
You forgot to mention the time that Wojtek captured a spy, by cornering the man and causing him to scream so loud that it alerted guards. The interrogation was also very funny, with the soldier simply threatening to get the bear back in, at which point the spy gave up his secrets
Amen!!! My Dad servered in Vietnam, before He worked as a postal worker for 36 years. He would have loved to seen this story / video. Sadly, He passed away on Oct 1, 2020. Watching this video reminded me of Him. Great job, Thank You
The good boy is so good that the good boy helped the good polish carry the good shells to destroy good tanks of not so good germans which helped the so good nations win the not good war.
I wish you mentioned that he was smart enough that when his Polish comrades met him he understood Polish more than English. A very weird story from history.
"A well-regulated Artillery Battery, being necessary to the successful victory of battle, the right of the unit to keep and arm bears, shall not be infringed."
Wojtek. I've seen several video's on this bear. And I have to say he's got to be the most unusual participant of any war in history. Great job Yarnhub you've added some new things to what I know about this bear.
Just brilliant - the animation, the artwork, everything. Laugh out loud funny in places too. Why is it that the best, most outrageous stories are invariably true? This, surely, has to be the best one of all.
Some things in life are timeless. Any animal stories of how they assist is always appreciated. That being said, we always appreciate hero stories of people who face insurmountable odds and triumph, even if their triumph is brief. Witold Pilecki is just such a person.
The regiment changed its insignia to an image of the bear and an ammo shell and boasted that the bear was an “enlisted” soldier, giving him a rank and number. The bear’s caretakers didn’t want him to go back to Poland because they were afraid that the fledgling Soviet-controlled government would adopt the bear as a symbol for communism, which was the opposite of what those Polish troops had been fighting for.
In the RTS Game [Iron harvest], the Poland campaign has a hero unit call Anna, a sniper, but she also has a bear which she saved when the mother was killed by poland mechs for food and clothing. ( the game set in WW1, with oil-powered mechs, including DLC the game has Poland, Germany, Russia and America. Each country's mechs are specialized in some ways, like the Poland mechs are fast moving, German mechs have heavy firepower and Russian which is the same as German pretty much and American mechs have airships.) Never knew the bear in game was a real thing.

Hello from 🇵🇰
Hi
Nice
Raid shadow legends
Wojtek is probably the most famous non-fictional bear of all time. He is fondly remembered many decades later for his contribution to the war. He is also still heavily discussed amongst Polish people to this very day. He's almost like a folk hero in some aspects.
Also, he's immortalized two times over thanks to an RTS game called _Iron Harvest_ with, unsurprisingly, not!Polish characters.
Budgie the same thing that I am
@@TheTrueAdept he also is an easter egg general in the game heart of iron 4

Oh, and oranges weren't the only thing brought by old comrades, as they would sometimes jump into his pen, to wrestle him, just like in the old days.
One more thing to say - everybody gangsta, till a bear starts carrying ammo crates
Only if the Germans knew a polish bear was helping being the shells that helped defeat them, the looks of total shock would never be forgotten!
Could you imagine you go into the zoo and see a dude wrestling a bear in the pen 😂
So that's what they meant by the right way to bear arms😂
@@Enfinityyy And then after the bear beats the guy, they both laugh and enjoy each-others company until the guys pulled out.
@@toasterkolin9951 “Jimmy for the 5th time, get out of there!”
Yarnhub teaches better than 90% of history professors, the way you ( Yarnhub) teach with visuals and entertainment is incredible
Why is this so true
Thanks for the (Yarnhub) clarification, I thought I was accidentally teaching thousands of people and making animations myself 😮💨
Eh, although this content is really good, it is way to narrow to be important knowledge. So, while this channel might cover specific aspects (nothing wrong with that), actual education teaches more important stuff.

Yarnhub and Mark Felton collab when?
From Iran to Egypt, from Italy to the UK, this bear has seen the world more than the average human.
Two fun facts:
1. Wojtek loved eating cigarettes, the were his favorite snack! And the Polish soldiers also snuck those in during their visits to the zoo.
2. Monte Casino was taken by the Polish during the 4th offensive and there is a photo of Polish soldiers lifting up the Polish flag on the mountain. It very much resembles the photo from Iwo Jima after the Americans had taken it.

Others history books: There is a war. We won/lose the war. That's it.
Polish history book: There is a bear help our troops and got military rank.

This bear once legit captured at least one POW, when a spy sneaked into the camp at night. The bear cornered him in the bathroom, I think it was, and proceeded to scare him so bad that the guy was begging for the poles to rescue him.
His reward: a beer and unlimited shower privileges

I love this story. Wojtek was our Polish hero. It's great that you showed this story to everyone. Well done.
In my town (here in italy) we have a momument to honor him since he help liberating our city
What a bunch of kings, with bravery in their hearts and a fucking bear as a friend.

Good job Private Wojtek!
Not to worry Michael and Wojtek were just practicing hand to hand combat
I'm glad he survived and found a nice home .
You can't stop a good 🐻
For me, as I am from Poland, Wojtek is the best bear in the world

It's nice to see such a detailed story of the battle bear!
Wojtek is a big doggo and a good boy.
You can't convince me otherwise.
The good boy is so good that the good boy helped the good polish carry the good shells to destroy good tanks of not so good germans which helped the so good nations win the not good war.
I wish you mentioned that he was smart enough that when his Polish comrades met him he understood Polish more than English. A very weird story from history.

HI YARNHUB! Keep up the good content! Good job
R.I.P Wojtek the mad bear
he deserves the medal of bear
4:55 the bear Is an alchaholic
Wojtek is my favorite story in all of WW2 history!
He may have missed out on a wild life, but Wojtek lived a life not many other bears would get to live. Long Live Wojtek! Long live The King!
Out of all the incredible stories told on this channel I honestly think I would find the most enjoyment of a movie made of this story.
Can’t believe that they just adopted a bear like a puppy
That Ads segment is just gold
And great story as well!
"A well-regulated Artillery Battery, being necessary to the successful victory of battle, the right of the unit to keep and arm bears, shall not be infringed."
Wojtek never drops a crate!!!
This is one of the most legendary stories of allll time.
Wojtek. I've seen several video's on this bear. And I have to say he's got to be the most unusual participant of any war in history. Great job Yarnhub you've added some new things to what I know about this bear.
Just brilliant - the animation, the artwork, everything. Laugh out loud funny in places too. Why is it that the best, most outrageous stories are invariably true? This, surely, has to be the best one of all.
The gigachad that eats cigs and drink beer, mah boi wojtek
I know this gets said a lot but the animation improvements between each episodes is truly outstanding.
I heard that the Polish soldiers would also hop the fence and wrestle with Wojtek in the zoo.
This is so adorable that I almost shed a tear. I never heard of this story before!
I love the quality of every video on this channel
With all this Gaming chair gaming table stuff I really couldve imagined that now theyve come up with gamerbread
You had me in the gamer bread part
Some things in life are timeless. Any animal stories of how they assist is always appreciated.
That being said, we always appreciate hero stories of people who face insurmountable odds and triumph, even if their triumph is brief. Witold Pilecki is just such a person.
I like how the bear is playing shadow legends , that’s how popular it is
Another killer episode, this one made me misty eyed. Thankyou Yarnhub! I hope you do Sgt. Reckless one day!
They clearly spent their animation budget for Wojtek and I’m not complaining.
The regiment changed its insignia to an image of the bear and an ammo shell and boasted that the bear was an “enlisted” soldier, giving him a rank and number. The bear’s caretakers didn’t want him to go back to Poland because they were afraid that the fledgling Soviet-controlled government would adopt the bear as a symbol for communism, which was the opposite of what those Polish troops had been fighting for.
Such a good video! Im so glad you guys made a video about Wojtek, thanks!

"Which allowed him to loot the kitchen all night long."
"But the soldiers didn't care."
Truly the most accurate thing just for a bear.
The Intelligence of some animals is crazy at times.
I saw his monument in Edinburgh. Once again,an amazing story.

In the RTS Game [Iron harvest], the Poland campaign has a hero unit call Anna, a sniper, but she also has a bear which she saved when the mother was killed by poland mechs for food and clothing. ( the game set in WW1, with oil-powered mechs, including DLC the game has Poland, Germany, Russia and America. Each country's mechs are specialized in some ways, like the Poland mechs are fast moving, German mechs have heavy firepower and Russian which is the same as German pretty much and American mechs have airships.) Never knew the bear in game was a real thing.
Damn imagine the morale boost when a bear comes and resupplies you
And another thing. Sabaton should make this a song.
Definitely believed gamer bread was real for a second… several seconds
I love the story of this bear. You know what'd be really awesome though? Bear Winged Hussar Cavalry.
Why, it’s everyone’s favorite ammunition carrying bear: Wojtek!
The scream at 9:15 had me rolling. Oh Wojtek 😂
