Thank you. I enjoyed watching this. I have read the book and is well worth buying.
They're in pre-production of The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare directed by Guy Ritchie and stars Henry Cavill and Alan Ritchson.
Good movie, prob the best one that is out atm.
That was a lot of fascinating information, worth further study, packed into one lecture.
Thanks for Uploading.
I've heard of the hedgehog and I'm not really all that old but then again I'm the child of my father's old age and he was both the Holocaust survivor and a member of the underground so I guess you could say I learned a great deal at my father side.

Churchill: Couldn't you have aimed a little more carefully
I swear there needs to a be a sitcom based solely around a man inheriting Churchill's great wit!
And it has been used as a backstage for certain television shows but when needing a sinister place in remote location.
Wars are conventionally fought head on but an element of subterfuge and deception is absolutely necessary to reinforce the war effort against a ruthless opponent.
Anti-tank gun looks more like you can say either the precursor or the ancestor of the RPG also known as the bazooka in fact that's pretty much what you are looking at in the picture.
As Churchill said when you are going through hell the important thing is to keep going.
Actually, that is not something that WSC said. It is a good quote though.
People nowadays forget that when you are on a shoestring budget because your country is small and besieged and hasn't got a lot of money you think what can you get how much bang can you get for your book and how quickly can you make it and how tiny a budget can it be made on, modern people don't even got a clue on that especially modern young people these days mostly, is there exceptions to those rules I know because of I've trained my kids exactly as my dad trained me.
My father who was during the second World War one of the younger members of the French Underground was told when he was being hidden by a Catholic priest and he made the comment well doesn't your good book say that you're supposed to turn the other cheek to which the good Padre said yes but it doesn't say what you do afterwards and when he said that he showed you know a roundhouse punch. In other words punch first ask questions later.
Joan Bright. Are there any books written about Joan Bright
The PIAT, so dangerous to the user that, live firing exercises of it were banned on cessation of hostilities.
Once German tanks started using armoured side barge boards against shaped charges it was largely ineffective.
i hear guy richie has started creating this into a movie
Strange comment 13 mins'ish in about the vulnerability of the NAZI 'war machine'....which seems to be propagated endlessly.
The German Army at the start of WW2 was THE least mechanised army of the great powers, being over 80% horse drawn. They had over half a million horses in 1939 alone, growing to 2.5 million.
The irony of the comment is that the BEF was THE most mechanised army.
Churchill never expected an invasion, he kept receiving peace offers from Hitler, 16 in all. Hitler whose admiration of the British people probably lost the war. He knew the allies had plans to bomb Stalin so he couldn't understand why they refused to join him. In May 1940 there was a crisis in the War Cabinet between Churchill and Lord Halifax who thought Hitler's peace offers made sense so he proposed to at least look at one, Churchill screamed, played one of his dirty tricks, Halifax was voted out, the whole thing was forgotten, 70 million people died, Europe lost its soul, Britain went bankrupt and lost her empire. Winston S. Churchill could have stopped it right there, he didn't, this war is on him.
i think that Hitler had a lot to do with starting WWII.
