Bear Who Fought Alongside Soldiers in World War 2
VloĆŸit
- Äas pĆidĂĄn 15. 05. 2024
- During World War II a group of soldiers were traveling through the Iranian mountains, where they met a boy selling a small bear cub. The soldiers took the cub under their wing, and before long, the cub grew into a giant brown bear that became the mascot for the 22nd Artillery Supply Company. Wojtek would become a friend of the soldiers and help scare away enemies. Watch today's amazing video to meet Wojtek, the WW2 brown bear!

"Commander, why do I have to salute a bear?"
"Private, that bear is a higher rank than you, not to mention more useful! You WILL treat him with the respect that he deserves!"
Sounds like something you would hear.

Officer: if you donât want to salute him, you can fight him
"Drop and give me twenty jars of honey, Private."
Or he will EAT you!

the difference is that the drunken bear was real.
He was more than a bear. He was an allied soldier and veteran of WWII. He deserves our respect and appreciation. This is an excellent video!
To think a war veteran and a war hero for dismantling a spy network, catching a spy, and stopping an attack gets put into a zoo after his time. He deserved to be in a national park at least
@@snakevenom4954 yeah I agree but he had a good life than others and that isnât something to complain about he became a respected figure and role model for the war efforts and at least people visited him and given him treats

I m not seeing this wojtek story first time, but everytime i see him, my heart gets full of joy and love.
The Poles got a female bear in the 20âs as well her name was BaĆka

This bear was our only faint glimmer of hope
Well Poland was gone for 100 years 102 years ago (gone from the maps)
but Polish people survived so Poland is back (also when Poland was loosing their allies didnt help not a bit)

Alternate title: local bear adopted by soldier makes unhealthy decisions, becomes legend
This would have been the news
Breaking news bear has joined the army and discovered a spy as well as holding ammo boxes that would usually take two men
I hope Hollywood makes a movie about this bear. Truly heart-warming & entertaining.
they wait till all who knows Wojtek dies (I think sadly, it already happend...), so they can do their "own" history...
*Spy sneaks in military base*

Great video! My great grandfather's brother took part in the siege of Monte Cassino while in Light Artillery Regiment. He's left my family a commemorative cross for his participation in the siege along with few photos of him shaking hands with Wojtek. What a reminder!
What a legend
German soldier: Sir, they have BEARS.
German Officer: You did not see bears.
German soldier: But...
German Officer: YOU DID NOT SEE BEARS!
That made me kinda sad for the soldiers that had to leave their friend behind. What a great bear.
We need a movie about this bear
Polish soldiers often visited Wojtek in Edinbourgh zoo. Soldiers couldnât back to their homes too :(
"His old friends would go visit him and jump the fence to play with him"
NO MAN LEFT BEHIND!!

When your rank is lower than a bear who stands on his hind legs, drinks beer and eats cigarettes:
It's a Polish company. I'm pretty sure the human corporals do the same thing all the time.
Honestly that would be an honor
Lol
Sounds like a typical army experience?
Thatâs bad
You know the bear is polish when it knows how to drink
Edit: chill out in the comment section

And then he's like "oh hello the- NO WAIT DON'T LEAVE-"
Private: So whos the corporal around here?
Lieutenant: Oh, Corporal Wojtek. Hes out back.
Private: Oh hes Polish?
Lieutenant: You could say that.
Imagine being a private at the time and then realizing a drunken bear had a higher rank than you
He could also carry ammo boxes faster than two men could together. He earned that rank.
Its alright for me, I would lets the bear be general anytime
Lol, I noticed that too.
Just look at the soviets
Imagine how funny it would be to scare a rookie soldier into thinking he is about to get killed by a bear
I am still amazed by Cpl Wojtek, but I got sad when he ended up in Zoo but just imagine how other animals listen to this bear stories
Imagine going past the security of a militairy camp to Then hide in the showers and come face to face with a FLIPPIN BEAR

Awwwwwwn. The bear is soooo cuteee. Love how he lived his life serving alongside his brothers. Love how the soldiers treated him as their own too. Beautiful.

I love how this channel is informative like my history teacher never was. He never told me about no bear, just war political politics at its finest.
The entire video seemed far fetched. Its upload date, just two days away from April first. I was expecting a late "April fools" to the end.
Enlisting a wild animal.... a BEAR to be exact, in ww2. I have never been more wrong (Aside the time from when I thought some lady was pregnant).

"In order to get around this, they enlisted the bear into the army"
You now like normal people would do to get around the no pets rule
idiosyncrasies of humanity ^w^
British never had to deal with Poles in official sense before. We are known for going around rules we don't like.
When Germans forbid Poles for owning houses in PoznaĆ during partitions era, one guy just put a house on wheels and moved it once a day a few meters so it would be mobile asset.
We live by our own rules and you cannot change that with more rules.

Y'know what I love about this channel? You do your research. You present only the facts. I love that because no matter how weird or unbelievable the information posted on this channel is, I can be sure that it is indeed true. And that makes it 20X more awesome.
Wojtek was actually a great soldier from the jungle. He thought he was actually a human being not an animal. Talking about right to bear arms this bear actually bearing arms for the war against the Axis Powers. He was actually a true Yogi bear but yet couldn't talk. He passed away in 1963, Rest in Peace Bear Wojtek from Steven Baer. He's actually a war bubby and a war hero for the Polish army of World War 2.
*Arab spy* : No one will ever notice that Iâm hiding in hear

Very underrated comment this deserves more attention
This is the most wholesome/ badass story I have ever heard
3:05
Imagine seeing a bear snatching clothing
This is probably my favorite war story ever. Wojtek was a human in a bear's body. May he rest in peace.
To the bearâs defence Iâm sure he wasnât actually after the underwear, he probably thought they were hiding fish somewhere

i guess trendy pop culture trash sells better :C
Maybe they don't know about it.
@@horrorfan1978 More or less. It's more about control: when it's an ex-novo story they can fully own the copyrights, thus deciding whom to license it to and for how much $$$. If it's a real-life story then they can't control books, comics, or interviews. They cannot ban another film adaptation to be made, cannot stop people from monetizing their own experiences, etc. thus, these companies are not interested. This is also the reason they produce ex-novo animated stories once and again and again, even if they're trash, instead of trying to buy rights to already successful children's books: again, they want full control

Wow, truly amazing story, liked and subbed!
This was a heart warming story. I can't believe none of the soldiers or anyone found a way to give him a private home other than a zoo. Still, what an amazing story this was
Orginal plan was to bring him back to Poland, but commies overtook Poland, so soldiers were forced to deal with setting their new life in the West first.
