AMERICAN REACTS to Mad Jack Churchill: A Real Life World War 2 Mad Man (HE WAS A PSYCHO🫣) 

I hope you guys have a GREAT freakin sunday and even BETTER week 💪🏾 | If you enjoy my content and would like to support the channel, You can buy me a coffee here: www.buymeacoffee.com/DezzReacts 🫶🏽

You maybe glad to know you can find a WW2 photo online of Mad Jack coming out of a landing craft with his claymore sword in hand

I've often thought how un-nerving it must have been for the German soldier standing next to the victim of the arrow shot .. he'd have been apprehensive already, and your mate meets his maker from a silent arrow out of the blue, a weapon from another age !!

Mad Jack was really pissed at you guys! "If it wasn't for the Americans we could have kept the war going for another 10 years!" He genuinely didn't want it to end. He loved that shit! 😂👌Yup he really said that!

For a lot of Brits fighting is a hobby. I used to work with a couple of enormous welders. Their idea of fun on a Saturday night was to go to a nightclub and start to fight each other to draw the bouncers in. Then they'd beat up the bouncers. They were proper scary. (and exceptionally good welders)

Fun Fact: After his retirement, Mad Jack would ride the train to and from London (where he went to monitor his investment and retirement accounts, mostly because he was bored). On the way home, he would suddenly chuck his briefcase out a window. When a surprised passenger asking why he had done that, Mad Jack replied, "That's my back garden - I didn't want to bother carrying that damned thing all the way from the station."

During the fighting at Arnhem one of the British officers, Major Digby Tatham-Warter, acquired an umbrella. With the shells falling around them a Lieutenant remarked it wouldn't do him much good. "My goodness" was the reply, "what if it rains?" He later stated that he had it because he could never remember the passwords.

Fun fact mad Jack is in the famous world war ll film escape to victory which is well worth a watch for a war movie

The Molotov Ribbentrop pact was an agreement between Germany and the Soviets to invade Poland at the same time and divide the country in half and formed a non-aggression agreement between the two, as a way of ensuring that Germany wouldn't have to fight on both the Russian and French fronts until Germany was "ready" to take on the Soviets and carried out Operation Barbarossa Mad Jack was awarded Distinguished Service Order & Bar and the Military Cross & Bar

your face when they talk about him with a claymore sword was brilliant, just how i reacted hearing it for the first time!

Paddy Mayne is a guy worth investigating. Trust me, he’s epic.

Don't have a favourite war movie, being born only 16 years after the end I had the honour of sitting with and listening to the generation that fought the impossible and won.

Hi Dezz, you mentioned both the Titanic and Dunkirk, how about a reaction to Charles Lightoller. A man who was present at both those events.

Rambo? What a wuss. We need a series of Mad Jack films.

Dezz , I sincerely love your your enthusiasm . Sometimes , however , you need to check your facts . There are probably more pipe bands in the USA & Canada than in Scotland . The New York Police Pipes & Drums band is famous worldwide and huge in numbers . Get a wikifix . Also British army never supported American forces in combat operations in Vietnam . The VC winners there were Australian and as such entitled to the medal . Love you man !

The Soviets invaded Poland as allies to the Nazis, in fact they were aligned to the Nazis up until the time that Germany turned on the Soviets in a surprise (at least to the soviets) attack against the USSR

Someone needs to make a movie about this man

The great escape classic British movie and iconic story. Also the dambusters absolute crazy world war 2 story all true stories.

After he retired from being a soldier, He became a surfer. True.

My favourite war film is battle of Britain, And like Winston Churchill jack Churchill Was born to fight just as Winston Churchill was born to lead , I don't believe he was crazy more of what you would call a thrill seeker, Great video 👍🇬🇧

Mad Jack Britains own Rambo... Love the content.

War Horse is a war film I'd recommend, though its set in ww1. It was the highest grossing ww1 film of all time when it was released

Yeah, you guys have Rambo we have Mad Jack. I am definitely subscribing love watching Americans react to our British history.

Apparently he said that and he meant it. He earned the name mad for a reason.

The UK seems to produce more than it’s fair share of eccentrics. We Brits admire and often love a well intentioned weirdo.

This guy too Dez. What he did, what he was subjected to is mind numbing. General Adrian Carton de Wiart. A true warrior.

The War films I would recommend are Reach for the Sky,The dam busters, 633 Squadron and The Battle of Britain.

People like this are a force of nature, look into Sir Ranulph Twisleton-Wykeham-Fiennes, 3rd Baronet OBE, commonly known as Sir Ranulph Fiennes and sometimes as Ran Fiennes, is a British explorer, writer and poet, who holds several endurance records. Typically for this kind of man, just three months after his surgery for a heart attack, Sir Ranulph ran seven marathons in seven days on each of the seven continents - from Patagonia (South America) to the Falkland Islands, Sydney (Australia), Singapore (Asia), London (Europe), Cairo (Africa) and New York (North America) He's still at it, Ranulph Fiennes is aiming to become the first person to have crossed both polar ice caps and climbed the highest mountain on every continent. He’s taking on this record-setting challenge across the globe to raise vital funds for Marie Curie, a charity close to his heart. The Global Reach Challenge in aid of Marie Curie will be the culmination of a lifetime of exploration and death-defying challenges for the 72-year-old adventurer (a 2016 pledge).

Glad I read the comments, I was about to debunk this whole vid as BS.. was thinking "no way the prime minister did any of that"😂🤣😂🤣

Dezz, Another excellent piece thank you. There are two British films I would recommend for First The Longest Day which is about the D Day landings, the second is The Battle of Britain which is about air warfare in defending southern England from the Luftwaffe in 1940. I am sure you will love them as they are both extremely accurate.

"Kokoda" is a great Aussie war movie. It is about a squad of Aussies lost up in the jungle in 1942

The Russian did not invade Poland to get at the Germans. They were allied with Germany and decided between them to have half of Poland each. They had close ties with Germany throughout the '30's in order for Germany to break the Versailles treaty - they did a lot of their research and training on Russian soil.

I am so proud to call myself British.

Brits had Mad Jack, Canadians had Leo Major. You should check out Leo Major.

Recommend having a look at another video on the subject "Mad Jack Churchill: A Life Too Unbelievable For Fiction" by Squarespace

Watch the original Dunkirk film from 1958. Also watch "Reach for the Sky" (1956) another WWII film based on the air force. Be weary of anything made post 1990's

UK army......Built DIFFERENT

BEST WAR MOVIE HANDS DOWN HAS TO BE WE WERE SOLDIERS AWSOME TRUE STORY

I love his story , what a extraordinary guy

I’ve commented before but would really like to see you react to RAF Quick Reaction Alert. Only 2 RU-vidrs have reacted to it and has a big response.

i am english and i own bagpipes its a sound of the british

Fav war movie is Speilbergs Saving Private Ryan set during the D Day landings. The beach landing scene is unmatched in war movies.

fave war movie... there are loads of good ones, but you will know them. the best one thats a bit different that i have seen recently is a russian one called tankers (i think). its really good even though in russian. all time fave......battle of britain. the music and the visuals are amazing.

I think we might refer to Mad Jack as "a little eccentric"

On this sad day in American history, watch the American national anthem played at Buckingham palace. Brought a tear to my eyes. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🇬🇧🇺🇸

According to Mad jack; " If it weren't for those bloody Yanks, we could have kept the war going for another ten years"

"Dude! This guy is INSANE!" Sorry to sound like a patronising prick here Dezz. But the clue is in the guys name. Now you see why we were picking individuals like him when we were watching the VC documentary with you. Just wait until you watch the Clarkson documentary, The Greatest raid of all. Then you will start to see what total badasses UK Commandos are. Also a silly side note. In the British military, the Commandos are listed as an infantry level force. They aren't considered (on an exceptionally pedantic level) special forces.

Enemy at the gates is a good pick

Like the format can't see why you will not get a lot bigger bud, stick with it.

Can i recommend you watch the Black and white version of Dunkirk (with John Mills) In the German and Russian invasion of Poland it was part of Non aggression pact Hitler and Stalin signed. in relation to the invasion of Belgium my mothers side of the family had to get out or they would have been executed, My mum told me a tale from the refugee columns A motor biker took a direct hit from a canon shell from a strafing run the rider ended hitting a michelin sign

Check out Adrian de Cart Wiart. Crazy

Check out Paddy Maine. SAS hero of ww2

How on earth did this guy not win a Victoria Cross, pls can you react to Jeremy Clarkson " what does it take to earn the British medal of honor? Its absolutely brilliant

Here's a guy you need to check out there are many videos about him but most leave out more about Adrian de Carton Wiart than they add. One instance when wanting to get into the fight during WW2 he called a senior staff officer a Coward saying he should be shot for cowardice then pulling out his revolver said in fact I'll do it myself now and proceeded to shoot at the officer clearly not trying hard because he missed the man. Anyway I hope you enjoy this story of the unkillable soldier. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-y-E_n0q0ttI.html

“COMMANDO”

Scottish people are British mate lol....northern Britain is Scotland. Oh and there is a fine line between bravery and insanity, i think mad jack lived on that fine line.

War Films to watch. Well myself I really love films made close to or during WW2 for these two reasons those made during the war were made at a time before the war ended its end was uncertain and those made shortly after had to stay mostly true to war experiences because their audience were often the people who fought there. Unlike today when films " based on fact" often aren't. So films made during WW2 that I like are many but here's a few. You may find these on RU-vid. The first of the few a film about the Spitfire and its designer artistic licence was made on this as it was after all a propaganda film but still its enjoyable to watch. The life and death of Colonel Blimp. The Way ahead. Went the Day well. Which is about a company of German soldiers dressed in British uniform pretending to be Polish they have a spy helping them. If you have ever read or seen the film, The Eagle has landed made in the late 60s that film is virtually a rip off Went the Day well as far as plot goes. In which we serve about the Royal Navy and one of its ships. Here are the last two from the forties Target for Tonight that had an actual Bomber pilot play the part of a Bomber pilot. Later he would die on famous raid to free some French prisoners in a nazi jail flying the Mosquito aeroplane called the wooden wonder fastest and first multi role aeroplane. This last of the 1940s has no star actors it's a film made about the Bridge too far at Arnhem it's stars are the real Paras the real soldiers that fought during the Battle. It's called Theirs is the Glory. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-fiFeYxlPYy4.html Later films I'll keep to two but I assure you there are more. The first is called Reach for the Sky about legless Hurricane pilot Douglas Bader (pronounced, Barder) The second is the first Dunkirk film made in 1960 with big stars of the day sir John Mills Richard Attenborough Bernard Lee and many more. It's far more truthful about the action than that load of bollocks made recently. I'll add one more made in 1977 a Bridge too far.. about the Battle of Arnhem a brilliant film full of stars of the day. One falsehood is the part of the story which an officer tries to tell his senior officers that an SS Tank Battalion is in the area of the drop zone and nobody listens. That was not true made up for the film. In reality the US officer that asks why the British tanks weren't going forward actually lost his temper and shot at the lead tank. But it's a great film. I hope you watch and enjoy even if you don't actually review these films.

Favourite war film? Das Boot.

British biggest army was fighting Japanese

Another one The mad piper of D-Day Bill Millin ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-MtwvnVGcIJI.html
