HORRIBLE HISTORIES - Prisoner of War Escape (Woeful Second World War)

[@HocusFocusProductions]

I love the little details at the end. "This one sticks. You may need to jiggle it a bit." This show is addictive.

[@LucGoose1992]

That plan is brilliant in its simplicity. I love Squadron Leader Higgins-he looks so darn pleased with himself!

[@gmehaywood4010]

My fav bit is: Ben: “so, we meet again!” Simon: “you don’t zay zat I zay zat!” Ben just has so much sass and angry Simon is hilarious. I’m loving the accents too aha

[@hazycosmicchild9672]

I like how Mat just stands there and then just runs out at the end!

[@looloofoofoo]

"There are two sings you vill never do. One, you vill never vin the var. Two, you vill never get your hands on my KEYS." "They have von the var! Ve have surrendered! Every man for himself!!" *British guy smiles* "Riiight, so this key is for the front door..."

[@sophiehale1171]

Yeah

[@Hobbsy3796]

"Because the Geneva convention means you can't shoot officers." "Ah, yes. I forgot about zat." LMAO!

[@carlbirtles4518]

20 British officers were shot for escaping from Stalag Luft III. RIP to all the executed escapees.

[@LesMisCatsGirl]

I LOVE the way he says "Yes, I forgot about zat..." and "Right..." at the end XD

[@scottmurphy4278]

0:43 - “Making escape virtually impossib… WHERE DID HE GO?!”

[@LEMONSareGREAT97]

Ben willbond: the perfect british officer- witty, intelligent and extreeeeeemly handsome!

[@Southenisland]

I'm so glad Brits have this sense of humour XD There's people saying Axis Powers Hetalia makes WW2 a joke, but what it does, just like Horrible Histories, is emphasize the weird facts you don't learn in school. It's series like these that make me enjoy history.

[@LEMONSareGREAT97]

all these workers act so well together!

[@Lotto15719]

'So, we met again?' 'Don't say that, I say that!' 'Ahh, I see you like my keys? Well there are 2 things that will never happen. One, you will never win this war. 2, you will never have my keys.' -runs in- 'They have won the war, we have surrender, every man for himself!' -runs out- 'Right this one is for the front, this one is for the back, bit sticky you have to wiggle it...' LOL My fav bits

[@MageLufaine]

German officer: So we meet again... Squadron Leader Higggins: Have me met before? German officer: No but I like the sound of my voice when I say that

[@williameggleton414]

I always imitate Farnaby's German quotes in this! My parents look at me with this funny look each time! X D

[@gottahurtthealbertosaurus]

I like The Commandant was willing to follow the Geneva Convention by not shooting Higgins, even though the Nazis basically broke every other War Crime in the book.

[@carlbirtles4518]

Kind of like 'Ghosts’: Commandant - Julian Fawcett MP Higgins - Captain James

[@ab-ct4ju]

probably because they are the actors for captain and julian

[@carlbirtles4518]

@@ab-ct4ju Because the commandant is an idiot like Julian and Higgins is a good tactician like The Captain.

[@Danster10]

This has to be my favorite clip XD "Where did he go! He did it again! send 100 men to find .... cancel that" XD If i was a POW I'd try so hard to be like that :P

[@katiemoore5665]

Ben's so cheeky in this ^.^ aw

[@jazzzyy13]

'Zere are two zings in zis vorld zat vill never happen, vun, you vill vin ze Var, and two, you vill never get your hands on my keys...' 'Ve have surrendered! Every man for himself!' If there was ever an 'oh rats' moment, that was it. Killed myself laughing at this xD

[@quazarstar12]

Yes, I have read about their war time production capabilty and it was simply amazing. War time industry was very efficient and so was U.S.A was very resourcefull and supplied Britian with much needed weapons.

[@andrielisilien]

I love the little rat that pops in with the "TRUE" signs XD

[@DKcoolhusna04]

Making escape virtually impossib- WHERE DID HE GO!??? Love you horrible histories!!

[@scottmurphy4278]

“He’s done it again! Send 100 troops to find squadron le… Cancel Zat”

[@CPCoulterTweedles]

You'd think that Kommondant Klimsmann would at least shut the door after the first escape attempt

[@talzO9]

hh is one of the best shows..im at A-lvl and i still find this very helpful

[@superjelly1000]

Higgins: So... we meet again! German Officer: Don't say that! I say that! :')

[@sophiemacomber6537]

Well, it's Ben Willbond, I wouldn't expect anything less :D

[@Gavin17259]

This was the very first HH sketch i ever saw.

[@sophiehale1171]

It so good

[@poopa911]

these ones are the best, they are funny and the intro to then is awesome

[@Zolega89]

So, we meet again! :)

[@audiohobo]

The Monty Python of Historical Events. Enough said

[@landof101dreams]

" im afraid there are two things in this world that will never happen one you will never win this war and two you will never get my keys " ( guy comes in ) " they have won the war we have surrendered every man for himself" (guy gives soldier keys)

[@DuPuieproductions]

This is a kid's channel? I love it and I'm not a kid...

[@missameliapond11]

he's like a weeping angel. a really handsome one that won't kill you

[@superjelly1000]

"He's done it again! Send 100 troops to find squadron leader.... Cancel zat" "Send 300 soldiers to find squadron lead..."

[@carlosgordon1730]

My favourite part is when he runs away then the other guy says “ send 100 guards to,cancel that”but it sounds like “ send 100 guards to, cancel dat”hehe😂

[@Notebooked]

The officer's smug look when he's informed the Americans have won the war makes me all tingly. Man, this series is a good way of passing the time when you're sick.

[@EmperorAurelian]

Hahaha...this is good. I just discovered the Horrible Histories books last week and had to order a few right away, so damn funny. Love the Ruthless Romans. I have never seen them here in Germany before. Cool stuff ...and I can use them for my teaching. Zis is grrreat.

[@xxTotalBritxx]

I Love the British guys Smug attitude XD

[@the21stturtle]

ahh he's the perfect war hero, witty, sly and hansdome

[@stupidintellect90]

'we meet again' 'no...i just like ze vay i sound when i say zet anyway the new series is so funny; the sparten high school musical, the viking rock group and the king charles the second rap.

[@roserosa]

LMFAO. I love this clip so much, he just keeps running away.

[@MwoStiles]

@theGummaster 1. He's squadron leader higgins. That means he's a pilot, and they were mainly used in ww2. also, pilots in ww2 were the most commonly captured troop, whereas in ww1, the pilot would usually die from the crash (no parachute)

[@verkaforever]

Loved the ending!

[@Werewolf906]

These horrible histories are actually suprisingly very funny. I think they should put it on a bit later so adults can enjoy it too.

[@sydnisan]

Can't wait till the new series on monday

[@sophiemacomber6537]

That was an odd comeback. It was from the above which I would say was level 4 to yours a level 10. Something I would do, just I probably would be age appropriate (12 years old)

[@heatherbowman9450]

I LEARNED HOW TO SWIM YESTERDAY🧜🏼‍♀️🧜🏻‍♀️🧜‍♀️👸🏻 2:47

[@thedorkinabubble]

When he made the two with his fingers, it was the V for Victory sign XD

[@solomonkain]

lol one of the best clips

[@englandvsa]

i love this show! The show is funny! I LOVE IT!!!

[@1998Roxygirl]

just 2 words, SOOO FUNNY!!!!!!!

[@hunterkirk480]

The singular term Geneva Convention refers to the agreements of 1949, negotiated in the aftermath of World War II. The first Geneva Convention was established in 1864 BUT only 12 Nations signed it.. Switzerland, Baden, Belgium, Denmark, France, Hesse, Holland, Italy, Portugal, Prussia, Spain, and Wurtemburg. The German State of WW2 technically never signed it and thus were not legally under its restrictions.

[@RantingGamerGeek]

@Notebooked Well done America well done !!!! Oh and thanks for being us britain's best friends!!!

[@iulisasuke]

It really suits Hetalia! XD I love both Horrible History and Hetalia!

[@sarahdoodles]

I'll be honest, Matt makes a suprisingly adorable nazi..

[@sal.ang6]

canzel zat lol luv the accent

[@diipgoo]

LOL I am Commandant Clinsmond the commander of this prisoner of war camp

[@gradgurl2007]

@demonella Actually, that's Armstrong and Miller. Mitchell and Webb did a sketch where they are Germans.

[@KitOfTheWeirdWoods]

best. sketch. ever.

[@whydidppltakemyname]

Anyone else think Simon looked like a vintage Ken doll?

[@teachercarlosteixeir]

Very funny and much rich opportunity for study History.

[@blondemario]

Someone posted a comment that told me about it, during one of the "HHTV NEWS" Sketches

[@englandvsa]

Send 300 soldiers to find squadron leader... "CANCEL THAT!!!" LOL

[@eleanorxxxxxxx]

One of my faves 

[@zoric82]

This is hilarious!

[@sophiehale1171]

Yeah

[@EllieC120]

German Officer: So sqadrand leader, we meet again. Englishman: Have we met before? German Officer: No I just like sayin it. This is beautiful comedy it really really is! :) Englishman: So we meet again. German Officer: Don't say that! I say that!

[@Treblaine]

It's called the geneva CONVENTION for a reason, it establishes what is conventional, most signing it is enough that there is expectation that all should follow it.

[@nyipnyop]

turn on the caption and you'll end up in heaven!

[@Macalicious]

WE'VE SURRENDERED!!!! EVERY MAN FOR HIS SELF! ... Okay this one is for the front door.... LOL I LOVE THIS SHOW AND I AM DUTCH 8D

[@dominiqueobrien1240]

[@gin6er793o]

[@RekiWylls]

(Squadron leader Higgins) So we meat again. (German officer) Don't say that I say that! lol Higgins RULEZ!

[@OddLittleThing]

english: so we meet again german: YOU dont say that I say tht lol

[@samwiseshireling]

Squandron Leader Higgins reminds me of Westley from the Princess Bride!

[@Dragoon16]

"this key is for the front door. And this key is for the back...

[@nashertheatheist]

@jorcastify It's not a suspender. It's a holster for his pistol. He only has one.

[@InterceptorProductions]

Imagine what he said on that speaker actually happend in the sketch- a whole waste of troops it only took one man to find him

[@IANOYTYK]

They're not trying to make fun of it- they're just trying to get younger kids to learn facts about history. And kids don't want to listen to all the gory details.

[@Azrael666Azazel]

i like that little rat that appears when he mentions that you can't execute officers

[@charliefarmer4365]

Man, the show is WAY less dark and gloomy (not that thats necessarily a bad thing. The books are still pretty funny.) than the books.

[@wyunaboy]

nice show

[@TruelyMadlyShallowly]

German officer: Squadron leader , ve meet again Higgins : oh have we met before German officer :no i just like ze vay i sound ven i zay zat

[@pipsloveshh]

What do you mean? Did they say it in a behind the scenes thing or something?

[@sophiemacomber6537]

***** He's talking about the second Geneva Convention in 1929. You are talking about the Geneva Convention of 1929

[@sophiemacomber6537]

Whoops, typed that wrong... I meant she's talking about the on in 1949

[@the21stturtle]

@jorcastify well, u can hardly expect them to stay neat, wen they r trapped in a war prison. also it adds to the effect, brave and hard war hero ;)

[@privatejoker1000]

sooo we meet again

[@101EmilyRox]

OMG I

[@whatnopie]

maybe the guy who kept trying to escaape in the great escape is based on him?

[@chunghee7015]

Best scene!

[@mr.brouwer8083]

Yeah you're getting it.

[@sal.ang6]

WOw my history teacher also watches this

[@MagnetTwins]

@Danni1894 *sips tea* England reporting! XD

[@SultanMehmed]

Wait... So is this a theatrical admission that the Germans really did follow the Geneva convention?

[@Anubisbrother]

I have placed additional guards here! Here! And Here! Making escape virtuually impossible! Vere did he go?

[@ErichoTTA]

Loved the rat.

[@sakurastar2k7]

I thought he looked familiar :D

[@miloko87]

this might be a stereotype but I was under the impression that germans counted "1, 2" with their thumb and index finger instead of their index and third fingers....

[@shadowgirl32]

that brit is such a brit it's hilarious.

[@pendragonshall]

LOL.. I get the feeling these guys love making fun of the Germans (and the French)!! Ah those Brits..

[@blondemario]

Surprisingly enough, off a HH clip.
