This documentary about the Australian rats of Tobruk is one of the best films of its kind. Wherever they went, the Australians were some of the best, toughest soldiers, in both the first and the second world wars .
Yeah, as I discovered the Brits used the Australians, Kiwis and the Canadians because they didn't want to waste their own men, Canucks and Aussies and Kiwis were expendable. Did it in WWI as well. I got fed the line in school how great we were! Years later a Scots uncle in the RAF told me about the colonials who arrived in full gear, ordered to take off their gear and boots only to find the British soldiers wearing them the next day and the second hand gear given to the colonials since they were second class people. The colonials had two enemies, he said: the Brits and the enemy. Now I don't quite know how to take that and I have no way of verifying it but it sounds suspicious, especially when you find out that Winston Churchill gave credit to the colonial soldiers. Good boys, thanks for taking the brunt of the rush (so our boys, the Brits, could go to glory after they decimated you!) So the Aussies were sort of on a do or die mission, damned if they did and damned if they didn't. Toughest fighters because they had to fight everybody not just the Germans.
yup and the Poles too
Ah, rubbish
I enjoy true unvarnished history and I'm proud to be an American. Camera people on all sides took a major risk to bring these films and images out of the battlefield and don't get enough credit.
I prefer my history varnished.
Awesome documentary
I WANTED to be FIRST!!!😁 But, that aside, I have to concur with your assessment. Take care.
Velox Versutus Vigilans
Wow, raw, real. Good doc.
Amazing... i love watching world war 2 document....

I can only imagine how hard it is to fight in a jungle with no food , man the human endurance & spirit of the human being , very resilient indeed !!!
You couldn't make up a better story. After watching a handful of them. On this documentary and many others I've watched. It just blows my mind..
!!!,,, unfortunately 3:15:20
What a beating the human condition can endure
Excellent
The British are some very tough resilient people and soldiers , they just do it !
And then there was BONEHEAD MONTGOMERY AND MARKET GARDEN !!
Has Montgomery take CAEN YET ?!?!
Great and well done documentary!
💯👊👍❤️
What a story of the SS Ohio. Sounds like that would make a pretty good movie.
0:00 - Third Battle of Kharkov
50:00 - Battle of Kohima
1:38:24 - Rats of Tobruk
2:28:17 - Operation Pedestal
VERY BEAUTIFUL AND VERY CHARMING DOCUMENTARY
Absolutely a worthwhile watch tyvm
Erwin rommel wasn't in charge of "hitlers bodyguard" that would've been Heinrich himmler of the ss idk where they got that from
You got that right. Rommel was a regular Army guy.
In late 1938 Hitler wanted Rommel to be incharge of his personal escort battalion when outside of Germany specifically during the invasion of Poland he acted in this role as Hitler took more personal attention to this campaign he later I think when he got promoted (from major general as he was when Hitler wanted him to lead the escort battalion) to lead the 7th panzer in 1940 during the invasion of France.
So he didn't lead the bodyguard but he did lead a bodyguard type battalion in the early and pre war which only happened during military situations whereas Himmler and the ss were his personal bodyguards everywhere
The thing with the ballon’s is Awsome
For 15 minutes
Humanity returned 👍🏾😂
If anyone had known the horrors of Japanese captivity no one would have surrendered. Ever.
This is a good video
IMHO best British general during the war was William Slim.
I think it was SASSY E. MCGEE
I loved his response that no white hankies are available due to the dust LMAO I can only imagine SS faces reading this response.Aussie have a sense of humour like no one ells LOL
Lol... They absolutely do.
Thank you for the really good video
The Kohima battle brings so much thankfulness as a Dutch believer in Christ. War is a crazy thing caused by the devil but what the Brits was faithfull ressistance and when everything seemed lost the mighty Lord Jesus send in reinforcements to relief them. Thank you Jesus. Forgive our enemies then my Lord Jesus and bless the Britshs fighting for us to in the Netherlands 🇳🇱
Effective resilience i see. 🤔
Is that anthony hoppkins?
Its Paul Markey
Sir Hopkins.😂
Just had the exact same thought...
That's funny! 🤣
Dommage pas en francais et pourtant très bien expliqué
When there blowing the RRX and German officer is walking casually with walking stick as two soldiers were ducking and wincing 😂very telling. The officer had enough. Just no emotions.
Didn’t care if he lived or died
The Australian 7th division were ordered by labor prime Minister john curtain to go home to defend Australia against the Japanese in new Guinea. Churchill said no, curtain said yes.
By this point in the war, March 1944, most people realized the fallacy of siding with the Japanese imperial Army. Hirohito‘s army what is already guilty of atrocious war, crimes.
Like some of the survivors of this campaign to defend India, it was a desperate battle to the bitter end.
23:44…Is that a Sherman?
I get secondhand embarrassment when there's a Churchill impersonator doing the lines x.x
I'ts Anthony hopkins
Fate decides who wins.
I’m freezing 🥶 just watching this and I’m in Florida 😂
Music is to loud, by👋👎
oh fy we like lol
