This is Jeremy Clarkson's father in law and he has done an amazing documentary about these events that go into much greater depth. Definetly worth a watch
@@KyraDestinyCR boomers refers to those born after the war, or by maximum extension were very young during the war to the point they don't remember it and have never know real conflict. Almost everyone old enough to have fought ww2 and I mean actually fought in ww2 does not behave like a boomer, cause they really are'nt boomers.
This is just like in MOWAS 2, where sometimes I still lose battles even with a full battalion but yet I can often go one man army using direct control with a single soldier with tons of rockets and AT grenade, and rack up tons of infantry and vehicle kills. It's just easier to play guerilla warfare with very few unit than conventional warfare with lots of unit.
I watched a show called "hitlers last stand" and one of the episodes talked about operation market garden, AND Major Robert Henry Cain was in it. Major Cain was a hero. He used a 2-inch mortar against those tanks, and the mortar wasn't even meant to be used against tanks! even though he could not succeed in his mission, he deserves the utmost respect as a truly brave and courageous soldier. May he Rest In Peace.
Interesting little fact here, this man would have been Jeremy Clarksons father in law through his ex wife if not for his death to cancer in the 70's. Jeremy Clarkson made a phenomenal documentary about it well worth watching for anyone further interested in the story called "for valour."
@Devin Dewitt because they make videos on so much secret information. Like for example he did a very detailed video about Donald trumps protection and the fbi and much more
This is similar to the legendary story during the 1973 War of Israel vs. Syria. The IDF had had great losses in the 1st battles, and the whole of northern Israel was briefly defended by a single running tank, the so-called 'one tank front'...
I absolutely love this story of Major Robert Henry Cain ! If you want to know more about this watch the documentary that Jeremy Clarkson did on him! The video is still on RU-vid! It’s just shows how bare some men were during the war and his war story is one of a kind. He won a victora cross because of this feat of valour and gallantry! Definitely worth a watch guys👍
Nice and informative video but you've mixed up some vehicle models. - 01:37 The pulling plane is a german He 177 and the glider looks like a kitbash from other german planes - 08:53 Did this Stug transform in a M3 Lee? - 09:26 There was Flamethrower Tank prototype based on the Tiger 1 Chassis but without the turret. If you need someone who is familiar with WW2 vehicles, I am happy to volunteer.
Ok, you've heard a story that's been told before by others. There is value in hearing other people's stories sometimes. Has it really taught you anything that will help you to be successful in life though? I guarantee that is what you mother is concerned about.
i love that even surverly injured and tired, he still has his priorities straight as he literally took time on enemy lines to casually shave before presenting himself🤣
If im a veteran and hearing the infamous clack clack clack... Me: okay thats a tank right Soldier: i think so why? Me: i think we need to use the bathroom on that far away place now!
I suffered through [3] nitwit commercials while watching this. I took a lot of shrapnel, too, but finally "beat back" the barrage assault with an improvised "anti-sponsor" weapon. [do I deserve a medal, for this?]
so you know how tredded back-ho's and bulldozers and stuff like that sound like "clack,clack,clack' but like really fast as each metal rung hits the ground? well tanks are big, like really big, so to me 'clang' is just like a bigger slower sounding version of 'clack'
Jeremy Clarkson made a video about this story and interviewed people that where there. The details on both these videos are fairly different so I’m not sure where you guys got your info
