i actually worked with this guy. i remember sitting after hours with him while he explained the story and i really couldn’t believe it. told me to google his name and id see everything. him and his family were the most respectful, caring, well-spoken individuals ive ever met in my entire life, shame what they had to go through.

Hats off to our amazing special forces the best something we can be proud of 😊

That’s the equivalent of bringing a knife to a gun fight.

Thank you

My mother was interned in Bergen Belsen, she was a Polish resistance fighter during the Warsaw uprising, was shot in the fighting, captured and was taken to Bergen Belsen. She was the only survivor of her whole family, the rest were killed by the Soviet backed Ukrainian forces in south west Poland. She was 18 years old when she was captured by the Nazis. She only talked about the war occasionally when she was very elderly and only in brief! She once talked about the liberation of the camp, she was a witness to the events of those days!

Delta force did this In Georgia too

Fun Facts: 62 Commando worked closely with SOE where it was called the Small Scale Raiding Force (or SSRF). It's most famous action is probably Operation Postmaster - the capture of Italian & German shipping from the Spanish port of Fernando Po - which was recently (loosely) portrayed in the movie The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare. By loosely portrayed, I mean it's about as historically accurate as Braveheart! Gus March-Phillipps was killed in another raid only about a month after Operation Barricade. The command of 62 Commando then passed to Major Geoffrey Appleyard who led the raid on Sark (Operation Basalt) where a number of the German dead were subsequently found with their arms bound - they had been shot while trying to escape. In retaliation Hitler issued his famous 'Commando Order' in October 1942.

Toy army

Lions led by donkeys once again….the RAF is woefully small now and we seem so unable to support troops when required. I served in both RAF as a regular and Army for many years as a reservist. I often wonder why I bothered

non story

I believe this American story is DISTRACTION from a critical point- Why the 82nd didn't take the bridge on day ONE of landing? There are good videos on that and it seems the Generals forgot the STRATEGIC reason for taking the bridge. One video has Gavin's superior worried about Panzers in a wood nearby. Meanwhile TWO companies are supposed to clear the city resistance and take the bridge, on DAY ONE? The rest of the DIVISION will attack the woods. HECK the MOVIE even shows 30rd corps on DAY ONE being stopped by a battle with several tanks out of action and Michael Caine saying, "THIS IS THE WIDE PART!"

sorry no matter how u frame it, its slavery forcing minorities to fight for you! fijians fighting in this EMEA turd stain, it why UK sinks today like the mary rose nostalia heavy and turd weak!, i will stiill take your money while living zero cost eu lol

the amount of military firepower for essentialy a swat raid, its too american no wonder they killl more civilians then any other country almost!

so more a police action vs guys without guns!

to be fair elite military forces vs guys without guns! not shit who wins!

Ein selten dummer Beditrag, völlig frei von Sachkunde.

As I have said before on other Gurkha videos. Show me a man who shows no fear and I will show you a GURKHA

Wow this man is amazingly strong both in body and mind

Most American videos are overly noisy, focus too much on "flashy" pointless details, or miss out on the important fine print. Some even insult France directly. Your video is great. You honoured those men who fought like wolves.

Great story! Brave men!

He's a real S.A.S. ! Why keep saying he has rifle he doesn't? 😂

Pity they can't board the small boats

And to think Captain Black Sparrow could take on the Spanish fleet.

Hold my jacket!! 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧 SAS!!!

READ the book People vs Muhammad! Islam is NOT peace!! Singapore commandos do NOT tolerate with terrorists they shoot them dead!! Terrorist have NO place in the world! Commandos mean business! 🚨🛑🛑🚨 Good video!

Gus March-Phillips, Legend

Although he should've had his kukkri with him (maybe just a random lapse), I reckon this was super heroic, but a lot of soldiers are, especially Gurkhas for being prone to fearlessness, in the case of Sgt. Pun and many others like him in the Gurkha Regiments, it's the *aggression* (in combat) that I find impressive more than anything else. But after reading about this, I thought to myself - what do you have to do to earn the VC these days, correction - I shouldn't disgrace the commendation with that joke, and Queen Elizabeth was a good person who I feel discharged her duties as a monarch well, even if not my idea of what a Queen was in the past, and should be (more go where you must, than show). Is it racial, well due recognition has been given in the past on the relevant occasions, statistically higher than all other identities despite racial biases by the way, but I reckon - probably (1). The other interesting story I remember about the Gurkhas was the troop who were asked to provide identification of death, so they cut the heads off the "insurgents", brought them back to the base, and were immediately reprimanded by their superiors 🤣... You did alright my friends, I think some people just don't understand your ways, practical more than "savage" (as some would contend, but really shouldn’t because that’s not right) in my view. But personally I would always try to give any departed opponent the honour of a proper burial - unless they *really* don't deserve it, and I'm quite certain that some of those insurgents didn't, including due to the way they treated women. Here's the thing, if he got scared and ran back then I'm pretty sure they would've gotten overrun, if he stayed but died then they would've gotten overrun, so as far as I can tell - what he did is the only reason they're all alive. 1. "Wtf would you know about it karnt!" - LOL, I reckon there's so much racial bias in military commendations, which I find to be truly diabolical, given what's at stake. To be fair, it may not have been racial (for a change), maybe it just didn’t meet the criteria, but it’s the sort of thing I like, the whole - “when one went against many” on very equal terms aspect of it.

Somebody should make a movie about this one

Trump has renamed it the American channel. Try to keep up.

Darn ships all look the same.

Sounds like a failure to me

I find it hard to believe , from reports at the time that local residents didn’t know , or said they didn’t know it was there. Apauling how the Germans were do complicit even if they were bullied by SS and Nazis . Thsnk hit for decent people from Britain Canada America and commonwealth . RIP to all who were murdered here 😢😢😢😢😢

I can't help but feel emotional by the valiance described. Britain, take back your country.

How about one on "Opreation Freshman"...?

Thank you for sharing x

Former RM Commando here - being aware of the raids on occupied Norway, St Nazaire and Walcheren, this is one which I had never heard of, so thank you and keep these videos coming 👍.

not heard anything of this previously thank you very much.

Imagine the sheer guts needed to go through with this. My heart would be beating so load that the Germans would be alerted.

Baby steps, but we all got to start somewhere... and it was lessons like this that built the reputation they earned in later years.

Where’s Torkway ?!!! AI !!!

If you can't get to your objective, switch target! The Commandoes proved very flexible but usually got the job done.

Perfectly executed operation with a flexible response to changing circumstances, best use of the element of surprise. Experience gained under fire and a little bit of the feelings of safety for the Germans eroded.

These commandos are among the heroes of WW2 that brought the war to the German occupiers of Eurorpe.

If you look at the kind of losses that the Commandos and other early SOF units reported during the War, and compare that to the losses of the well-known raids... Then you can only conclude that most of the work these brave men did during WWII went unreported (of course!), but has also disappeared into history...

" WHO DARES WINS "

Awesome videos, but would be nice to get back to GWOT

Well told sir,,,,,,

There were so many badass commando raids lost to histoy. British SF were so awesome during ww2. Professional and deadly, in a time where the whole procedure of being a commando was being written by these mens actions.

They would be disgusted at the state of the country today

Three.
