The Wehrmacht soldiers at the Battle of Schloss Itter had defected from the German Army and joined the Austrian resistance. Their commander, killed in the battle, was later declared an Austrian hero, and a street in the nearby town is named for him.
Maybe. But imagine the advantage of making a silent kill from a distant hiding place. There certainly is an advantage in having a skilled man with a bow and arrow in certain situations of war. There is of course a certain disadvantage if said master of the silent kill is seen by the enemy first carrying a bow and arrows. If they know (and you'd expect them to) what a skilled shooter can do, they will do their best to take him out as soon as possible. So he shouldn't run around carrying his preferred weapon unless he has arrived in a position to use it.
Twice 19 It would have been confusing to see Jack charging up to them sword or bow in hand but he'd already been taken prisoner about a month before the invasion started . Sorry to disappoint .

The sword was a Highland Broadsword, The style dates from the 16th century and is still carried, on ceremonial duties, by officers of scottish regiments of the British Army. The Claymore, from the gaelic Glaive Mor (Great Sword), is a medieval double handed long broadsword

How about even more weirdness from WW1 such as the Battle of Mons where troops from either side claimed to have seen angels or ghosts from the Battle of Agincourt fighting on behalf of the British ?
Hearing people from the commando unit describe the norway raid, it's always a highlight to hear them talk about mad Jack's Bagpipes calling out through the fog before the boats landed.
"As far as is known it is the only German incursion in to North America during the entire war". Except when they landed in New York and Florida in June 1942.
While the Germans didn’t land in Newfoundland, they did attack North America. Using a submarine and torpedoes they destroyed a harbour where Allied forces’ ships gathered before heading in convoys to Europe. Fortunately only the docks were destroyed and no one perished.
Mad Jack should definitely be #1. A longbow shooting, sword wielding, bagpipe playing madman is much more interesting than a mentally fragile politician who got lost.
Well technically after he did that the toilet malfunctioned and couldn't be stopped. But yes, that it did actually work and some poor sod screwed it up is far more amusing.
The epic Korean movie, "My Way" is based on the life of the Korean Soldier who fought for multiple sides including the Germans. I highly recommended movie for history buffs (author of "Renee: St. Mary's Virus).
It's north of Russia (maybe part of it). You can see Norway and Finland below as well. This is an oversight on their behalf. It does seem that the report is true however. Crazy Nazis. Weather Station Kurt (Wetter-Funkgerät Land-26) was an automatic weather station, erected by a German U-boat crew in northern Labrador, Dominion of Newfoundland in October 1943. Installing the equipment for the station was the only known armed German military operation on land in North America during the Second World War. After the war it was forgotten until its rediscovery in 1977.
Fire the guy that makes your maps! The island on the map that are supposed to be the Labrador Coast of Canada is actually part of Franz Jozef Land, which belonged then to the USSR.
Involuntary consignment of captured soldiers was the only reason there were a handful of diverse races. Otherwise that’s a pretty misleading statement.
I saw what a captured U boat looks like. I can fit small spaces, but that’s a VERY tight squeeze. I know now why they capitalize on space. I can only imagine what it must have felt living on a U boat. What nightmares must have followed. I’m from across the pond, but respect every fallen sailor..
Some UA-camrs have demonstrated, based on feedback from more recent conflicts, that arrows will pass through sandbags but bullets do not. So Mad Jack was not so mad.

My landlord was a sailor in WWII and he claimed that Roosevelt was on his ship off the east coast when again an accidental discharge of a torpedo came close to hitting his ship.
Another first rate video, for which much credit is due. Hess landed near Eaglesham, about thirty miles from where I am writing. Some say he was trying to find a private airstrip near Dungavel House, belonging to Douglas Douglas-Hamilton, 14th Duke of Hamilton and 11th Duke of Brandon, KT, GCVO, AFC, PC, DL, FRCSE, FRGS. This man was an internationally famous aviator in his own right, having been in the expedition to fly over Everest in 1933. BUT 'Duke Hamilton the 14th.' is just wrong!! It does not make literal sense apart from being the wrong way to construct the title. Vide above.. A tiny bit more research - or cut and paste from Wikipedia if in doubt?
#5 you said reindeer stand 6' at their shoulder then show a pic of a soldier crouching down to take a pic with the reindeer, if was far from fully grown.
"You want to stop this war pretending to be Hitler?!" "Youe going to prison for impersonating the enemy and wanting peace!" Ya think they would have released him straight after the war, as he never broke any "war rules"
Are you talking about Hess? The deputy fuhrer of the Nazi Party and was not claiming to be Hitler. He wasn't impersonating the enemy, he was the enemy. He was held basically as a POW, and then later tried at Nuremburg and convicted.
@@robertt9342 tried for what? After a war anyone tried is up on war crimes? I cant see what war crimes he commited. Held for another 40 years? Normally war criminals arent convicted until they only have a decade left, at most. I always found the whole "war crimes" silly, because in war time, as the saying goes, Humans act like animals, but with rules?? Ok the german and japanese docs who made frankenstein seem like a puppy were just sick in the head.
@@cypherglitch There were four charges tried at Nuremburg; one related to the waging of aggressive war ("crimes against peace" in violation of the Kellogg-Briand Pact, of which Germany was a signatory), one was for the group of crimes against humanity, one of "war crimes" - slavery, violation of the international rules of war (under the Geneva Convention), and one of conspiracy to commit any of those offenses. All were crimes under the agreements Germany had made prior to the war.
@@flagmichael I'll never understand some of the war crimes and charges, as they seem contradictory to what was actually done during the war. How were these agreements made? It would have been hard to make many rules before the first world war, as the war was the first of its kind. It would have been interesting to see how the opposing sides agreed to what was considered a war crime, after the fact.
How about the Toptenz about Nancy Wake. I am sure she fooled the SS many more then 10 times as the White Mouse. Her story is fascinating. I love this channel and anything WWII history is always great.
With regard to the tale of Jack Churchill and his longbow, my father who flew with the RAF in North and East Africa told me that occasionally commandoes would carry cross-bows when going on operations.
Maybe they looked up the stats on a moose? Wait no that can't be it, he says it only ways 200lbs... Actually sounds more like a person, 6feet 200lbs. They also got the map wrong. They claim to try for accuracy but if your slinging facts things like this can really undermine your credibility.
That German U-boat didn't sink because of a toilet malfunction. It sank because the user interface was too complicated. It was so complicated that that submarine had a "toilet specialist." The story goes: An officer used the toilet and turned a wrong valve or two. He complained to the specialist that it didn't work. The specialist opened a valve, having not realized that the officer left another valve open. This resulted in excrement and sea water flooding the submarine. The sea water hitting the batteries resulted in chlorine gas which forced the sub to surface. The surfaced sub was promptly attacked by air. The captain threw their code books into the water and ordered the ship to be abandoned and scuttled. The crew was captured in their life boat.
The commercial advertisement you do is far too long, 5 seconds is fine, but i bet 99 % of us would never ever use any product that is bothering us due to the length of the commercials.

You should do a story about "fake Hess", in one of the BBC documentary one guy that work for the British Intelligens talking about "Fake Hess". Just a intressting Conspiracy story.
The toilet issue, would have been sea water and what you were flushing out, not sewage. I get its what was being flushed out but its not like a sewage tank exploded in the sub.
Stardard British soldier: Rifle for long range combat, mounted a bayonet for close combat. Lt. Col. "Mad Jack" Churchill: Longbow, bagpipe and broadsword. "...Chaaaaarge!!!!!"
Okay ..., we know WHO shot the arrow ..., but WHEN and WHERE did this take place ..... and WHO ('cause I'm pretty sure that if the Germans/Italians/Japanese found one of their soldiers shot with an arrow they'dve made a note of it) was the unfortunate recipient of the said arrow? I'm pretty sure that that story would make an interesting Biographics video.
You guys could do an entire video on one of your other channels on the USS William D. Porter. It's quite possibly the warship with the single worst record of WWII. Accidentally almost killing President Roosevelt was just one of its mishaps.
He was imprisoned as were several other senior Nazi officers , apart from those escaped to foreign climes or committed suicide , for crimes against humanity such as sending millions of non combatants and innocents ie children to their deaths . There are rules in war as drafted in the Geneva Convention Hitler , Hess and Himmler disregarded the rules and were to be accountable for their actions . Even individual soldiers were arrested , tried , convicted and often executed for crimes against non combatants .

Okay ..., we know WHO shot the arrow ..., but WHEN and WHERE did this take place ..... and WHO ('cause I'm pretty sure that if the Germans/Italians/Japanese found one of their soldiers shot with an arrow they'dve made a note of it) was the unfortunate recipient of the said arrow? I'm pretty sure that that story would make an interesting Biographics video.
How about remote control model tanks that shoot 22 shorts in a safe pool or gravel pit? It could be held at Madison garden or something?
You guys could do an entire video on one of your other channels on the USS William D. Porter. It's quite possibly the warship with the single worst record of WWII. Accidentally almost killing President Roosevelt was just one of its mishaps.
Was that really just a cup of coffee...? ;)
Why was Rudolf Hess still in prison after Germany surrendered? The war was over, right?
But he was still a criminal.
He was imprisoned as were several other senior Nazi officers , apart from those escaped to foreign climes or committed suicide , for crimes against humanity such as sending millions of non combatants and innocents ie children to their deaths . There are rules in war as drafted in the Geneva Convention Hitler , Hess and Himmler disregarded the rules and were to be accountable for their actions . Even individual soldiers were arrested , tried , convicted and often executed for crimes against non combatants .
I do so enjoy your channel 😊👍💕
