Jeremy Clarkson's War Stories: ALL EPISODES

I never knew that Jeremy did something like this and I couldn’t be happier. I wish he would create masterpieces like this to this day. These heroes must always be remembered.

Whenever I stay at the 'Union Jack Club' in London, I am always humbled and in awe at the wooden panels that list all the Victoria Cross recipients.

[@Trillock-hy1cf]

When I was in the RAF (Sept. 1961-December1975) back in the 60's I worked in MoD London (and allowed to wear civvies or uniform, I chose civvies) for a couple of years, and on some days off I went to stay over in the 'Union Jack Club' to visit the IWM and a few other Museums in London and really enjoyed my few days off exploring. To me, Jeremy is rather talented in his various documentaries, and have enjoyed them. So he has humour i.e. Top Gear, and serious documentaries, and is very good at performing in both...

[@terdferguson1736]

@@Trillock-hy1cfhow do you feel that your government now arrest over 3k people for speech “crimes” it’s an absolute shame what’s become of the UK. And seems like the people there have totally given up on their country. Not a fight the people care to have . The fact that the British are embarrassed of their country is so sad. The world needs a strong Britain but the fact that pride in country is seemingly frowned upon is extremely backwards. You may not like the brashness of American patriotism but atleast it fights off the far lefts inclination to teach the self hatred that’s so engrained into English society . And they are trying to do it here but we are fighting it tooth and nail.. having guns also helps ,something I wish you Brit’s would start clamoring about . And don’t give me the we can have a shotgun just need to be in the skeet club ..

[@RayGorman2261]

I think this is some of his best work ever. Probably #2 and #3, just below his segment on Senna on TopGear that most Americans missed when it was edited out of the show on BBC America. And having a personal connection to the story makes him even better. He can certainly be abrasive and offensive at times, but when he is passionate about something, his presentation is top notch. Granted the script was written for him (I suspect), but knowing how to humanize the story makes all the difference.

In Australia the old Hume Highway and it's connecting southern freeway is named "Remembrance Drive".

If only our modern politicians had the same courage and commitment.

[@JamesGoetzke]

Very similar to the Congressional Medal of Honor here in the United States. That was created during the American Civil War. Often it is awarded postumouly. That is awarded for valor in a sense. Never for taking lives but chiefly for saving lives. It's a medal no American soldier wants because most likely you are dead. I'm a veteran and I have lost many friends and family members. Some died in action. Some died from Agent Orange later on. My grandfather was 3rd Wave Omaha Beach. He drank heavily when he got home. My uncle lost his leg and life in 1995 from wounds he got in Nam in 1968. I go to the VA and sometimes I wish I didn't see so much. Sad how men kill each other year after year.... century after century. Sad. The beat goes on.

[@jaylewinton7939]

It's so sad that friends and family have to fight to get this medal awarded posthumously for some who truly deserve to have it gave their life and the government fight to not award this medal here in uk and the states

[@adambane1719]

3rd wave Omaha is nothing to be boasting about

[@dob5tep544]

The planning wasn't botched. The paras and gliders were landed in the best location they could find because the gliders not only carried infantry, but they also carried anti-tank guns, jeeps, extra ammo and light artillery witch the paras would need not only to capture the bridge, but to defend the drop zone for the second drop so it was critical that they all landed in the same place.

I'm not a fan of Clarkson, but his narration of these real life stories is excellent. Enough about him, it is the Tommies that deserve all the admiration in this episode. Proper people.

>St. Nazaire that sounds familia- oh, the huge a** drydock in France the Germans needed if they wanted to repair their biggest capital ships on the Atlantic coast instead of in Germany. That raid was insane, even by Royal Navy standards, so of course every man chosen for the mission volunteered to go on the mission when offered the chance to back out.

[@flashgordon6670]

It’s equally hard for US soldiers to get a VC, as it is for a Brit to get a MOH. My favourite shoot em ever is MOH, there isn’t a VC game but there should be. Both are the highest awards that soldiers can get, respectively for their countries. So to say one is better, more prestigious, or harder to get than another, is unreasonable and logically absurd. All the recipients of both medals are heroes and worthy of our eternal gratitude, for fighting, being prepared to die above the call of duty and putting their comrades in arms lives and welfare above their own. That’s the definition of Honour, Valour and Gallantry. In any case, the USA and British soldiers, intelligence and military personnel are brothers in arms and have been since 1917. So the services of all the recipients of any medal, benefits each other’s countries. Even ones before 1917, benefited the future alliance in the long run. Ultimately all medals are useless really anyway, especially if one dies in the process to get it. And there’s a lot of luck involved in the process as well. A soldier who landed on the beaches on D Day, was shot and died before he could damage the defenders, still made the ultimate sacrifice for Freedom, their country, people and the alliance. Perhaps they took the bullet that would’ve killed a VC or MOH recipient, who was next to them. And they would’ve gone on to get the medal instead. War is a team effort and it’s the whole team that deserves the glory. The dead, wounded and heroes alike. They all put their lives and health on the line for the benefit of others and future generations. They all worked extremely hard to capture the enemy flag. If I went through the hell that the VC and MOH recipients went through, I wouldn’t give a rat’s arse about getting a medal for it. All it really means is that they can write books and tell their stories and everyone buys into them, bc of the medals. It’s commercialism and for propaganda purposes. Killing shouldn’t be celebrated and rewarded, no matter who’s been killed. It’s a failure of humanity and politics that wars happen in the first place.

[@nickjung7394]

​@@mastrofnone8025it failed because the Air Plan did not allow all troops to land on day 1. (Not Monty's fault). The Germans had a set of the battle lanes so could position their A/T guns to best effect (not Monty's fault) the RAF refused to drop troops closer to their objectives (not Monty's fault). Interestingly, Eisenhower fully supported Monty in his comments after the event. I suggest you visit the area and walk the road down to Neimegen. A single road with polder land that had been flooded either side. 88 mm guns effected any possibility of a tank advance!

As for Andy Willman's comments regarding the authenticity of the crash, the model work, and the battle scenes, my measure is not whether the scene is 100% realistic, it's whether I remain immersed in the story.
