My stepfather ran an Army ESB landing craft during WW2 in the Pacific. He was following the landing craft ran by his best friend when it took a direct hit from a mortar right on the ramp.

I remember hearing a Marine veteran by the name of Jack Lent who was at Tarawa that encountered the same thing. The low tide at Tarawa could not get Higgins boats to the beach so they had to dump Marines off 600 yards from the beach only to get torn to pieces wading ashore by Japanese machine guns, mortars, and pre-registered coastal guns (some made it). The LVTs COULD make it through the low tide and some successfully made it to the beach, of the Marines from the LVTs on the beach- they had to watch their fellow Marines get mowed down.

My grandpa had to use those gliders a couple times in Burma. He said it was the only time he was SURE he was going to die during the war. He said the entire idea sounded ludicrous when it was explained to everyone, and actually going through with it, TWICE, made him a better Catholic.
Apperantly there was no such order as they didn't know about the gliders in the first place. In fact they rescued some of them. This is purely for tv dramatisation.
The scene after this depicting them passing the lads in the water by was maybe one of the most heartbreaking scenes I've seen in recent memory. It's not often I have to pause and compose myself a bit. Absolutely top notch work from everyone involved, and the assault scene immediately following was an entire other level of production compared to the first season. Excellent.
Reg Seekings suffered badly from trauma due to what he saw in Italy. I thought they portrayed it very well in this series. What they didn't show was the horror of their own men being blown to pieces in the same scene with Reg and the young kid. Apparently this was also a horrific moment for many of them.
Operation Husky: Strong winds and green American pilots, contrived to take the aircraft off course with American force being scattered widely over south-east Sicily. By 14 July, half the U.S. paratroopers failed to reach their rallying points. The British air-landing troops fared little better, with only 12 of the 147 gliders landing on target and 69 crashing into the sea, with over 200 men drowning. Among those who landed in the sea were Major General George F. Hopkinson, commander of the British 1st Airborne Division, who, after several hours spent clutching a piece of wreckage, was eventually rescued by the landing ship HMS Keren.
@@rubbishmodeller Yes, as in all operation's learning mistakes is key. But it happened again on D day, with green American pilots, dropping their sticks into the wind, due to inexperience and uncontrolled fear.
It was not alone green pilots, during the first or second night the Allies tried to drop Paratroopers on Sicily, sadly no one told the Navy and when planes passed the Fleet the ships AAA opened fire and shot several of their own planes down. Another aspect why communication between the different branches is an important thing.
Yeah, Pissed out of his head after a Masonic Lodge booze up and drove his roadster into a Farm Vehicle, Yes he was quite a guy, but apart from being brave (read off his head) he was a drunken bully with out a shred of morality, great in wartime but a menace in peacetime.
@seanoneill9130 he died instantly. And in the show he is correct in not saving the downers. As there's little space in the craft and would delay the mission. Idk if he did that irl
A friend of my family was one of the unfortunate paras who were dropped short by the Americans who panicked due to flack and released the gliders short. Luckily for Harry he was one of the few who were issued a life jacket due to his rank and when he was in the water he swam as far away from the other paras as he could because a few of the survivors wanted his vest. I believe everyone else in his glider drowned.
What exactly is your source for that? Sharks in the Mediterranean rarely attack humans and don't eat them. I've also never seen a single report from the British Armed Forces archives on the topic.
@BertPreast nasty absolutely and dangerous, but they don't eat people, very very few sharks do and usually only when starving, they are also mostly in the Pacific/Indian Ocean.
0:18 I saw this rather large bloke as an extra in a couple of scenes. Your telling me they couldn't find an extra that could of actually looked trim enough to be an SAS member. He couldn't walk 10 miles by the looks of him nevermind run them.
Maybe recovering from injury yet his expertise was invaluable... or maybe he was a chubby fat bloke and the BBC couldn't be bothered as the Second series is worse that the first one!
I’m confused. Didn’t the series make it seem that SRS were going to be the first allied troops invading Europe? Weren’t the glider troops (the ones that reached land) first? Also, in the book the SRS did rescue some men at sea. I know this isn’t a historical lesson, but if they wanted to alter history couldn’t they at least use fictional names?
No, the series doesn't say that; Paddy is actually describing the gliders going in first and the SRS will sail past their stricken planes and drowning men. Yes, some were rescued but most were not .
@ before this scene it is said that they’ll be the first allied troops invading Europe. Also, they did rescue a few troops, but in the series they even cut loose someone.
Well that's a bollocks line. The gliders didn't fall short because of how they were constructed or manufactured. They fell short because of inexperienced tug pilots who released them early. The training had not reached the phase where glider pilots and tug pilots were stationed at the same aerodromes and airfields - thus allowing for the work relationship to foster and grow. Glider pilots also had less than 10 hours training time on the WACO, and about an hour of night flying. Chatterton made his opinions known to Hopkinson about the LZs, but Hopkinson (according to Chatterton) told him to essentially make it happen or he would be replaced.

Paddy Mayne was 6ft 3, 250 pounds and by all accounts, a very polite and civil man without drink in him. I can't take the current actor portraying him seriously at all.
A polite and civil man when not hours away from combat preparing his men to stare death and the abyss directly in the face. Paddy would have been a shit officer if he refused to take a tougher line when necessary.

Ньютону яблоко во сне, менделееву во сне, многим учёным во сне, многое что сниться, шаманы в транс входят(тоже типа сон), кто управляет человечеством, гитлер возомнил себя бессмертным и многие другие, а кто мешает им внушить развязать войну за ложные интересы , выбрать ложного кандидата в президенты-потому что им это внушили(зомбировали), что мешает президентам или королям под влиянием внушения замыслить дефолт(теракт массовый 11 сентября например), что мешает зомбированием и своими агентами воспитать(внушить, включая различные технические и электронные средства, как Ельцин голова болела в кабинете, нашли источник излучения) человеку его непобедимость-например сбыванием в реале его мыслей(каких то тяжестей жизни), а если они не будут слушать и выполнять значит к ним или их родным будут применены карательные меры преступниками, властями, конкурентами, оппонентами, криминалом, соперниками в выборах, потому что значительная часть населения зомбирована(или в долгах у власти, преступников, или обладатели настолько феноменальными знаниями-что власти их отпустят только в ящик) и может влиять на выборы, не хотите быть зомби прекратите разводить преступность и соответствующие вещества и растения, конечно есть среди них и те кто не желает зомбировать людей массово или как то управлять их жизнью-а только предоставлять им информацию и знания, почему например политики и чиновники, бизнес, генералы, актёры, и др. такие не поколебимые(не меняют решение, вплоть до абсурда(тотального уничтожения населения жителей земли))-мож потому что от них это требуют их инопланетные зомбировщики, иначе-это ошибка, а за ошибки надо платить-например войной, а за отказ вообще смерть или издевательства(за что они все просто сдохнут как сказал Путин, до последнего гена и энергии), эпидемией(как испанская оспа, за то что обворовали ацтеков и т.д.) и весь их джи 7 на этом строиться, так что остальные делайте выводы-продадите душу дьяволу(и останетесь без знаний) или будете жить в раю.В РФ дефицит бюджета, а чиновники создают новые комитеты, органы и т.п., может уже хватит создавать места для болтунов, пора уже ручками самим работать, пора уже высокопроизводительное правительство создавать(как они нам по тв во всей красе расказывают)-где?-кто за это ответит и не один, может чиновники(элита) сама переедет в дешёвое съёмное жильё всей семьёй, что б в любой момент их выставили из него-где стабильность в эотм мероприятии для детей и граждан РФ, кто ответит из них публично за высокие цены, высокую инфляцию, бешенные потери на сво, кучу каклек и не желание пенсионеров идти умирать на сво, ну вот медведева переселили и что он меньше стал из бюджета сосать и на сколько-на эти средства сколько можно детей то вырастить и жильём семей обеспечить, шойгу, генд. директора всякие, топ менеджеры, менеджеры госкорпораций, и т.д, при стоимости квартиры в 2 млн.р. на 3 трлн. можно 1,5 млн. квартир купить-и это только за 1 год, дак за 50 лет продажи нефти уже каждый бы житель планеты имел бы квартиру и отдельную для каждого ребёнка-где это всё, где результаты, как они мне на работе-когда, во сколько, никто за столько лет не ответил, это как понимать-что за система такая, мы кого растим-лентяев, бездельников, безответственных и криминал-о? красота, неудивительно-что планета земля превращается в помойку.Я выкупаю(продавшаяся в РФ в 2000-е) все права на весь иностранный софт в РФ(и в дружественных странах, странах партнёрах) и электронику, морально устаревший и который производители не поддерживают или прекратил существовать(аська например, виндовс ОС 32 бит, и 64 бит, кад)выделяю для этого 10 млрд.б. нефти по 500$ и 100млрд.м3 газа по 50р. за 1 м3, все права передаются правительствам данных стран.А как вы собираетесь отличать нефть из РФ и из других регионов каспия, или надо было подождать когда трамп воссядет на престол и в конец подорвёт обороноспособность сша, перетянет всё производство в англию или их протекторат

А что они заводы то сосредоточили в москве и ленинграде и их обл.(эти регионы страны больше чем остальная страна выводят капитал за границу, а нам рассказывают что надо экономно жить, так живите экономно, почему не живёте, сколько вы заработали без использования энергоресурсов РФ нисколько-а нам почему это навязываете, работать не хотите и не будете и не рабатывали никогда-заметно(значит иностранные шпионы), зачем то празднование устроили в ленинграде во время сво, получили ещё и кто, что ещё праздновать будете, хотите, что б ещё и польша начала с прибалтами чудить), например из той же днр и лнр, почему не в регионы перекинули, для предотвращения повторных убытков в случае войны(ведь уже знали об этом), так то лишает регионы доходов, они сами что ли, цены га оборон заказ не рыночные, а на всё остальное практически-рыночное, это что по вашему правильное выполнение конституции, почему гос. аппарат до сих пор ьакие бешенные суммы тратит и получает, почему их не перекинули на бесплатные товары и продукты для переселенцев и всем пострадавшим, например с той же жилищной ипотекой например, если вы не собираетесь нести ответственность за народ-какие вы после этого чиновники этой страны, вы предатели или иностранные шпионы, если вы такие умные-то почему до сих пор не приняли меры для финансирования гражданам с ограничениями покупку тех или иных товаров(например вырезка мяса(для фарша или фарш), диетические продукты, трикотаж только натуральный, кожа мягкая, интернет на соответствующих устройствах, большие экраны с большими шрифтами)-это вы так соц. гарантии выполняете, а да они сами виноваты, а вы тогда на что, что бы исправлять в том числе и не допускать этого, вы это обеспечили нет, значит экономия содержания федеральных чиновников будет просто колоссальной в 2025 году, на 99% меньше из бюджета получат, как и все у кого доход(зар. плата) свыше 100т.р. в мес., даже думать не надо-новости включили и смотри, только москву да ленинград и показывают, так изредка другие, значит регионам ничего не выделяют, а если выделяют -грабят, поэтому и показать нечего, да брикс показали-потому что спец. службы там возились, вот и вся отгадка.Вы чё с москвой то связываетесь, вы блогеров то посмотрите, они все в кредитах по пол ляма в месяц платят, они все платят, у них одно на уме-как бы кого обобрать, москва не проигрывает(а раз регионы проиграли по рождаемости, москва и ленинград и их засланные шпионы(портили жизнь людям в регионах и портят) и отправляются на сво, а за нынешние результаты 100трлн. долгов у них)-как ес и сша и джи 7, зачем вы дела то с ней имеете, вы с людьми из РФ имейте дела и по человечки, и не как обычно всё вам.
Utter crap on so many levels.
This is total BS by the Beeb. overblown and a mash up of the reality. The series gets sillier.
