Jeremy Clarkson's War Stories: ALL EPISODES

[@tropicalpalmtree]

It doesn't matter what Jeremy presents, it's always a masterpiece. Jeremy has incredible articulation and story telling abilities. No-one better in the world.

No. It DOES matter what he presents. Here he is excellent. Can't be any better.

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...

[@VatnikHunting]

[@carmenlottner297]

I'm afraid many already have,or simply don't care.

[@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". I was struck when I realised that one of our former Governor general's and Prime Minister's had been awarded the VC, of course in the past almost everyman served in either of the 2 big wars but to have 2 that are among such a small global group is remarkable. If only our modern politicians had the same courage and commitment.

[@flashgordon6670]

“How many more teenagers would’ve died, had Robert Cain not fought so ferociously?” - Probably a lot less actually. Had they made the correct strategic withdrawal, as soon as they knew the 2nd army were held up and a5 days away. What was the point in staying there fighting a losing unwinable battle?

[@garynorris8492]

I detest J.C. as a person, but as a writer/narrator, he is "Top Notch" with the phrasing in his voice and apt choice of word's.

[@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.

[@AverageWagie2024]

General Douglas MacArthur won the Medal of Honor for skilfully moving pieces on a map during WW2.

[@Daveweasel-o1s]

And helped save countless lives doing so.

[@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

[@cousineddie7444]

I really wish "The Boys" would all do THESE now that GT is over.

[@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.

[@garrybaldy327]

[@hullutsuhna]

>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.

[@criticalthought7527]

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. If I do that equals 100% success for me. I don't remember being distracted when I first saw this documentary so... good on ya Mates.

Great show on the VC's but they did not win the VC, they earned it. Referring to it as winning it is disrespectful to the awarded, why not just awarded.

[@coval5694]

I'd actually disagree. Personally I find the VC to be a lottery of sorts. Acts of courage and valour happen on the daily in war and only a few lucky people actually get their name drawn. Such as Private Kingsbury. His Platoon Sergeant would say this after Kingsbury was posthumously awarded the VC "On the same day or the next day there was another chap named Charlie McCarthy [sic, McCallum], who really did something, probably far more deserving but they were only going to award one VC, so Bruce got it. I'm not decrying it. He was worded up and Charlie unfortunately was worded down"
