Edit: I'd also like to say what a fantastic 10 minutes this really was, you gents did a great job. I'd really love a Band of Brothers/The Pacific style series based on the British involvement of WW2. I respect our American allies for what they did but as a British citizen it'd be nice to see on film what my ancestors did for a change, from the start of the war in 1939 to its end in 1945, visualised in a way that it hasn't really be done before. I know there are films and shows but as far as I'm aware they're all quite old with the exception of a few from the top of my head such as Dunkirk, the imitiation game or 1917 which is of course set in WW1. If anyone has any suggestions please fire away 😊
It brought alive the true essence of the times of 1878 it captured a moment in time so real it put to rest my wondering of what it was really like living through those times quiet an amazing film
And the Americans viewing this will have two reactions. The first surprise. Surprise that an ally other than their country is fighting the war. The second reaction will be anger. Anger that their country isn't being portrayed as the Allied side
Balls! Tom Hanks and Spielberg don't care about the other allies. It's just the yanks they're interested in. After all, America won the war on its own!
Well done guys - if you do that for 7 more weekends you've got a feature - And your acting is excellent. Also - your movement - approaching the house, moving round it, use of weapons etc is spot. And the uniforms look the biz.
@@igortimoshin5896 And your judgement has been misplaced. Once again, it’s impossible for a civilian to comprehend a soldier’s mental state in such desperate times.
Brought tears to my eyes. Almost everyone would have seen himself/ herself in that German officer's shoes. Why did they kill him? I wish this war wouldn't have happened.
Running in the open (with woods clearly behind/parallel to them)with all that kit clanging around while assaulting the German position seems pretty dumb.
Always a pleasure to see Ben Squared Films delivering the goods !! Nice one here !!! By the way, I notice my status as a subscriber had lapsed - RU-vid does that shabby thing quite often.
I arrested a young lad my age, 18, when I served in West Belfast with the Coldstream Guards in 1979. He was a diversion for a double grenade attack on our camp. I escorted him in a vehicle to the RUC CID at the Springfield Rd Police station. I spent a short while with him. Some IRA lads had used him, as he was suffering mentally and was dyslexic. When the CID had finished with him he was shaking, crying and cowering. I thought then we would never win in Northern Ireland.🫤😔
I'm just curious..... in what account of the Glenrowan seige did you read the part about Ned pleading for his life? I've pawed through every eye witness account and police report I could find for years and have never found that part. Everything I've ever read has said he was defiant till the end even when near death at the Glenrowan train station.
@@bradwilliams7212 Have done so. Constable Arthur nor Sargent Steele make no mention of it in any report. Neither did Jessie Dowsett in his statement. Constable Kelly was close enough to be credited in removing Kelly's helmet and also makes no mention in his report.
@@justinmcgoldrick8006 Try page 342 of the RC report from 1881. Here is a transcript. "Sergeant Steele had him with his left hand across his neck, this way- [indicating the same]. Senior-Constable Kelly was standing behind, Bracken had hold of Kelly’s left arm, and I was in front. Kelly was trembling with fear, and said, “Do not kill me, let me live as long as I can. I never injured one of you.” The helmet fell off as he was firing." Evidence given by Constable James Dwyer. Ned Kelly was a coward as the facts clearly show.
@@bradwilliams7212 Oh, I see..... the magic helmet theory. Either it feel off as stated by James Dwyer or Constable Kelly removed it. Can't be both..... So someone was fabricating a narrative. The facts show nothing when such an arbitrary detail as the helmet is contradicted.

Office of Police Integrity Report/The Problem of Police Corruption/The Kelly Outbreak. This report was removed at my request two years ago from the IBAC site. It was false. The report claimed that the Royal Commission found extensive corruption. In the 1881 RC report, the word "corrupt" is not mentioned once. Not in any question, answer or recommendation. The claim that Chief Commissioner of Police Standish had his career ended is not true. He retired 6 months before the RC began. No other senior police were, demoted, dismissed, or admonished. Again, made up fiction. Both Supt Hare and Nicolson were promoted to be Police Magistrates. Your research, Paul, is lacking. I also note that you are trying to block my comments. Pathetic, but what else could I expect from a mad Kelly fan? Both superintendents were reinstated and promoted. So what? Det Ward was a senior constable and not a senior rank. He was moved back one position only and ended up a sub-inspector and when he retired had a successful detective agency in Melbourne. You are way off target aren't you Paul? More than time you woke up to the facts. If I try and comment under your comment ,it disappears instantly. That can only mean that you have blocked my replies. If you are interested in history, why are you not accepting what I am conveying.
Great film at the star showing the sergeant with his family how they got there orders borrowing the rifle from the gold escort how ever different to transcript from constable McIntyre events .. full respect to the police officers from 1878 involved ..
