What important to understand is that the British are losing the war at this point. They’ve been pushed from all the way across North Africa to Tubruk, if the Germans manage capture the Suez Canal they will split the armies fighting in South east Asia from those fighting in Europe and gain access to the oil fields of the Middle East. They have every reason to believe America will stay out of the war at this point. I know they seem reckless but the are desperate to turn the tide.

What you really need to know is that the USA military attache in Cairo was sending information in a code that had been broken by the Germans about British dispositions. This is how Rommel knew so much, and he could beat his opponents. We know this because Bletchley park had broken Enigma by then, and was reading Rommels incoming, at least, messages. There was an investigation going on in Cairo trying to find out who exactly it was. This is in two books the first is a book aabout Bletchley Park called the Code breakers printed in 1964, and the second is a partly fictional book called city of Gold which uses this as the background plot. How do we know it was the US military attache, because after Pearl Harbour (just before THE turning point of the war in 1942 El Alamein) the information stopped being sent.

The first SAS ‘mission’, the parachute disaster depicted here, was, well…a disaster, obviously. But would they have ever formed the SAS if they had been the kind of guys who obeyed the rules, who waited until everything was sorted and organized? I think that’s the point: the kind of people who change the game are also the kind who make huge mistakes. JH Ford said that people think the secret to success is “Ready, Aim, Fire”, but great things are achieved by those who understand it’s “Ready, Fire, Aim”. That’s what Stirling and Paddy Mayne understood.

I want you guys to look up the First Special Service Force. A combined American and Canadian Special Operations Unit from WW2. The training tempo was ridiculous. When the F.S.S.F. was told, they were being Airborne qualified. The F.S.S.F. had something like three or four days to qualify for Airborne Operations, instead of the normal four weeks of Airborne school. That didn't include the fact that the F.S.S.F. was also qualified for Winter Warfare, Mountaineering, Amphibious Operations, and sabotage/demolitions. The F.S.S.F. had something like 25% causality rate just in training alone. Which was common at that time. The British Commandos also had something like a 25% causality rate in training during WW2. When you sit back from a modern day perspective. Saying That these guys are stupid for not knowing what a static line is. When using a parachute. If you know history, it makes you look bad. Absolutely these guys had no idea of how a parachute worked, but then again being a Paratrooper at that time. Was to be part of an elite unit. These men were creating the S.A.S. So by hook and crook they created an elite unit of raiders. Where they did what they had to. To get the training and equipment that they needed. It's a lot different today. After lots of men got hurt or killed in training alone, let alone actually combat operations. I would like it if you looked up the Greatest Raid narrated by Jeremy Clarkson (yes the same one from Top Gear). Where British Commandos went into the occupied French harbour. To destroy the dry dock, so that the Germans wouldn't be able to use it. The British used an old Destroyer mocked up to look like a German Destroyer. This old Destroyer was also a bomb, which had to be rammed into the gates of the Dry Dock. Plus lots of smaller wooden patrol craft. The raid was a success. The Destroyer was rammed into the gates of the Dry Dock. The Commandos destroyed the pump house, and other structures in the harbour, but the wooden patrol craft. That was the Commandos extraction vehicles. Were shot to hell. Almost all of them being destroyed. The Commandos decided to try to fight their way out of the harbour. The vast majority of the Commandos were either killed or captured. (I think three Commandos eventually made it to Spain, then back to England) However even though the raiding force was lost. The Destroyer (that was a bomb) didn't go off on time. Something like an hour passed, before the bomb went off. Destroying the Dry Dock gates, and killing all of the Germans, who had boarded the Destroyer after the raid. The Dry Dock didn't get repaired until several years after WW2 was over.
@thegreenjackal8 ай бұрын
Looking forward to future episodes on this. The general recklessness is a fun theme to follow especially concerning Mayne. I’ll also just say that some extra context is that the commandos were a newer idea that had been badly misused during the invasion of Crete in a role they weren’t well suited for in training or equipment. A lot of the founding members were survivors of it and I think that sets the scene of a bunch of drunk 20 somethings, fuck off with shit and not thinking things through. Who also wanted to show the stuck up bastards they could be effective, so for Stirling it’s something to say over dinner when he gets home.

"Britain's first airborne assault took place on February 10, 1941, when, what was then known as II Special Air Service (some 37 men of 500 trained in No. 2 Commando plus three Italian interpreters), parachuted into Italy to blow up an aqueduct in a daring raid named Operation Colossus." From wikipedia. My point is when you say they should have known more or ask someone about parachutes there was no one in the army to ask. Germany, Russia and Italy were far ahead in terms of developing parachute troops, and whilst they had been used by the airforce infantry with parachute capability were not yet a capability.

What happened to Buck's beard? Ok.....one last thing. Many of the precursors to the SAS are these insane, mentally unstable, alcohol/drug abusing hard chargers. However, if you read Marcinko's books about how he started Seal Team 6, it frequently reveals that these are the same types of individuals he picked (and was). That said, I couldn't agree more about the difference between bravery and stupid. It's the same with determination versus stupid, or perfectionism versus stupid. All of these can lead someone to greatness or be the boat anchor around your neck for your entire life.
@matthewwalker54306 ай бұрын
One thing you have to remember is that this was happening in 1940 and parachuting, particularly in the military, was still VERY new. Part of the reason we have so many safety protocols, gear and techniques today is precisely because of these guys throwing themselves out of planes back then and it all going wrong. It seems stupid by today's standards, and it was still pretty stupid (certainly crazy) in those days, but it needed maniacs to do this stuff and push things in order for it to develop into what we have now. Also, the great thing about Stirling and Lewes is they did this stuff themselves despite being Officers in the hope to prove that it was possible, they didn't think it up and then ask others from the rank and file to do it on their behalf. They were, absolutely, full scale nutters.

King, the first enlisted soldier to make a parachute jump" more wikipedia It seems US was also behind the russians, Italians and Germans.

Great show. Plenty of Bang Bang. But definitely 'based' on the true events.

The original documentary that the tv show was based on went into far more details on what went on and the main people involved including talking to mike sadler who died January of this year.

Love the videos, loved the movie! Honest Ads made a video on the military ripe for reacting BTW!

8:09 You would wake up from that fight asking your friends if they saw you win. It would be that bad.

I think these guys are missing many points here they are laughing about the parachute's how they just opened them and did not know how to put them back in, this is all how it started unlike now where as he said we HAVE People to do that THEY have TOTALLY missed the point in saying SO HE DOES NOT KNOW HIMSELF HOW TO REPACK A PARACHUTE because he has someone to do it for him !!!!! He might be a now green beret but is mocking how men with no training started AND made SHIT happen against all ODDS AND CHANGED WW2!!!! I do not give a shit what regiment he is from he is showing total disrespect to the founders of the SAS

No doubt the SAS pulled off some crazy shit but it doesn't excuse reckless decisions or less than professional behavior. Compare this series to band of brothers and the conduct is just worlds apart.

What these two fine gentlemen forget is it's 1941. Of course you're better at it than they were. It's 75 years after the fact.They weren't professionals. Plus, it's called entertainment for a reason. Thank you for your service.
