    I read Ken Smalls book and actually met him not long before he passed.
    He used to park his Vw golf near the tank and liked to chat about the tank and it's recovery and Operation Tiger.
    He had to"buy" the tank off the American government, I think it cost him a dollar!
    He had quite a struggle initially dealing with them ,as I think it was an embarrassment that a Briton was instigating a memorial ,not the US government.
    Needless to say his persistance paid off!
    He was a really nice guy and his book is a good read.

    Guitar maker here. Those machine heads are designed for a slotted headstock for mandolin, bouzouki, or Irish bouzouki. The give away is the roller design and string hole placement. Assuming they are standard rotational pitch they're off the treble side of the instrument. The buttons look to be pearlised, and I noticed they still catch the light despite all that time underground.

I can't help but think our leaders and other people today, should be exposed to the history revealed by these scientists. The information for most people would be humbling. I don't know.

    In Friesland, The Netherlands, near my home, a Wellington will be unearthed.
    A huge section of sea wall is excavated and strengthened with steel sheet pile wall all around the area.
    It's about a Wellington that crashed there in 1943 and the 5 men crew would still be on board.
    The job has to be finished before the storm season, can't afford a breach there.
    During ww2 both US and British aircraft have crashed/crash landed in The Netherlands in massive numbers.
    And when or wherever possible, remains of missing airmen are recovered.
    Also when there's mention of heavy explosives still unaccounted for, in the case of contruction plans.

    Operation Tiger, the missing facts. The actual count of the dead is still in question. The number that was used was what one craft would carry. The trouble is one developed trouble while at port and they transferred everyone to a already loaded craft. The number should be higher. The biggest blunder goes to the Royal Navy command. The escort ship the Scimitar had been rammed by a American ship which left a huge hole above the water line. It was still able to patrol in fair weather. However Plymouth command ordered it to stay in dock. They failed to notify anyone and a replacement was never sent. So instead of two escort ships they only had one. I think they kept it quiet because America still needed air bases in the UK after the war ended and didn't want to rock the boat.

      I have no issues anymore with ads, I purchased the UA-cam ad blocker so can watch everything ad free. Definitely worth getting if you use UA-cam a lot especially with documentaries like this or watching films.

    49:56 is an M1A3 Gunner’s Quadrant used for artillery. so ist unlikely it came from the tank. it there was a self propelled gun around or artillery units it likely came from them. the tanks main gun would have its own built in gun laying equipment. cool artifact none the less. kudos to ken small for bringing this episode to life, preserving the artifacts, and commemorating those men that lost their lives.

    I’ve heard of the tragic Operation Tiger, which was covered up for at least 30 years. Survivors were sworn to secrecy. But I’m curious about the other pre D-Day practice invasions that were successful.

    I really enjoyed this but can someone explain why distances in this type of British made & produced programme are always given in kilometres only instead of & with no reference to miles? All UK road signs & speedometers are still marked in miles or is it because this programme is accessible worldwide? Sorry but it’s a constant gripe of mine. Do most people really now think in kilometres?

      Yes. But we keep references to old measurements as a courtesy to the old, stupid and American.

    'Archeologists Discover Perfectly Preserved WW2 Bomber' - six words, three falsehoods. The plane was discovered by a survey team working on a cross-channel cable. The plane was neither preserved nor perfect. Thanks for flagging up another channel I'll know not to bother with in future.

    Perfectly preserved bomber? not quite but all the same an interesting find. Has any one ever noticed that all these under water wrecks of aircraft that are found never have the instruments in place, so someone has been down and removed them as souvenirs.

    I was going to give this a thumbs up, but decided to give it a thumbs down for lying. The title says "Perfectly Preserved", clearly the title lied. I don't reward lying. So it gets a thumbs down for that. Other than that it was a nice video and I learned some cool things. Thanks for sharing, just not lying to us. Best Wishes & Blessings

    Perfectly preserved ? Where’s she getting that from ? That’s ridiculous. The frame wouldn’t be ‘fragile’ if perfectly preserved.

    Perfectly preserved is an understatement! Hell, start it up and see if the fuel is still good. I’ll bet the engine fires right up.
