After the bomb went off, Beattie turned to the German officer and said "you see, we're not as daft as you think we are." One of the best quotes of the war.
Probably tied with the famous remark made by Major Carlisle who was deployed to 'The bridge too far' during operation Market Garden. They had no support or supplies left and when the Germans asked to negotiate a surrender he replied "We haven't the proper facilities to take you all prisoner"
Clarkson is a masterful writer and storyteller. Still here.
I never get tired of watching this and watching how people react to it as it unfolds.
same, and i still shake my head when jeremy explains the plan.
Say what you want about Clarkson - he is a master presenter
Still here.
This operation sadly has been forgotten and its a bloody shame because this operation was the embodiment of that dogged British spirit.
@@samuel10125 no forgotten because it wasn't done by the Americans to make films about after .
Great reaction.
You should check out Clarkson's documentary on what it takes to earn the Victoria Cross. He mentions it several times here. That'll show you just how high an achievement that is. The best place to find that is on the, Timeline channel.
Also forget, stayed here. I was here until the end
As a Dane watching a Swede react to the Brits sticking it to the Germans, in France - this was great. Kudos sir. Good to see that this is still getting around and being appreciated. Credit to the Brits, they know how to make a documentary and Jezza is certainly more that just a 'Car Journalist' - this and his VC video are amongst my favourites in terms of stories that should be retold to each generation, reminding us the cost of the peace we enjoy and what good journalism can be too - it's not just exposé or hot takes and rants.
Edit: 'The impossible' - I'd say these guys work on Discworld logic - that the 1 in a million chance is a certainty of success.
Those that didn't return - if they've accepted their demise, some may be more willing to make the sacrifice in a given situation - the 'I'll hold these guys back so you can escape', where those who did not think they were at their time would be heading for the next objective. And I mean, a name like Tiger Watson - at that time - yeah he's probably been a bit of a legend before this moment, you know the guy who somehow always manages to get through things without a scratch - akin to Napoleon rating the 'luck' of his Generals. It matters. People whom the Universe is looking after are good people to have on our side - and we can often tell that this person is special in some way. Luckiest guy you were at school with - some got away with crazy stuff while others got caught doing the slightest thing..
Loved your reaction, appreciated. If you have not reacted to Jeremy Clarkson's The Victoria Cross documentary, you really should. It is more impressive than even this incredible Greatest Raid. The mic drop moment at the end is worth all by itself. The list of impressive actions, like Pegasus Bridge or the Merville Battery are two of the best know D-Day stories, but lesser known actions like No 47 RM Commando and the Battle of Port-en-Bessin (The History Guy), or the "The Devil's Own" Lawyers Secret D-Day Mission (Mark Felton) are as impressive. We have a habit of doing wonderful things and rarely make a great fuss - or a movie - about it. Look forward to seeing more.
I loved this!! The actual old guys reminded me of The Band of Brothers, where some of the survivors were telling their stories during the show. Such courageous men.
Jeremy is a master of storytelling
seen this vid numerous times. the bit that always gets me is, "any man can step down" but none did. aka, i'm not letting my mates down. true heroes there.
Broadcast on the BBC in 2007, so with the passing of time the veterans are no longer with us, I have read several obituaries in the years since.
Later a documentary on how this was made, such was the interest.
Clarkson later said the piece to camera from 40 mins on the boat approaching the target, is the one in his broadcast career he is most proud of.
@@grahambuckerfield4640 The documentary on how this documentary was made is impressive in its own right. The producers didn't have the budget to do SOA special effects, so they just gave the SFX studio what they could afford and hoped for the best; the FX experts were apparently putting in unpaid overtime and working on their days off to make sure the battle sequences were as realistic as possible, because they wouldn't be able to look the veterans in the eye if it was anything less.
By sheer coincidence, I think I found the exact same book Clarkson did. It goes into so much detail, including all the photos and more that wasn’t covered in the documentary.
I used to walk past the memorial in the car park every single day on the way to and from school.
Yes I am still here. Why wouldn't I be - it was a great story of bravery and yours was a very good reaction. Thank you.
I cry with pride every time I watch this documentary. My late father fought in the desert during WWII. He was just like them all a different type of man. God help us all from what we have now
Still with you! Absolutely gripped!
If only we had heroes like that now
Holy crap! I'm still here! The one you reacted to last year was amazing but, holy cow! Jeremy Clarkson added so much more intensity to the story!
He did Don ! Totally agree!
Great reaction Recky , it truly was an amazing story of courage & determination. I've watched it several times & still tear😢 up in parts .Very emotional . Amazing men & so humble .
Best generation.
Here all the way with you. it's an almost common theme of men knowing when their number is up. The talk in NATO circles is that the UK's best contribution to NATO might be in its small reactionary and commando forces. They have a way of thinking outside of the box and almost always seem to be held back by the leadership of the larger conventional forces.
Finally got to sit here and watch the whole thing with you. I teared up at the end seeing that there's only a small plaque on a rock in a parking lot in Cornwall that stands in tribute to this.
The boys did this. And we can never forget that. No matter if the boys were American, English etc.
Shame the ending can't be edited - there is now a much bigger memorial in Falmouth, though I'm not convinced many people know much about it. It's near the entrance to the Prince of Wales pier.
You should react to Jeremy Clarkson the Victoria Cross. It's one of the craziest war stories ever.
Probably not worth reacting to, but there's also a Making Of documentary about how they did the special effects for this. The effort they put into getting the details right was amazing. Really interesting stuff.
The German subs did kick ass but it was INSANELY dangerous job.
Only 1 in 4 German u-boat crew survived.
A 75% mortality rate is crazy.
Texas here...site was up a hour before I was able to view....has all of my attention.
Try to understand my Scandinavian brother that this will to fight was installed a 1000 years ago by Viking invasions. And now more than ever we need to fight against a common enemy.
16 tiny escape boats is far smarter than putting all your eggs in 1 destroyer-shaped basket, however weak they are individually.
Still here. Great reaction.
Respect to them all. Jeremy really put depth into this.. Thank you Recky love your reactions.
Here to the end.
Birth place of the modern day special forces of every country. Say thank q america.
Not sure why the two soldiers said to their officer he would not be killed and not sure if they had some sort of premonition i guess one has to experience such feelings to understand fully.
35:58 Still here Recky. New to the channel, seen many reactions to this doc and I enjoyed your way of doing it so far.
Like earned, if you finish the way you started it's a sub :)
Edit: sub earned 😁
ENJOYING THE VIDEO.
The NorthOne video is a re-upload, which is why the audio is bad. the Original is from a Channel called Timeline. czcams.com/video/SCMCr2Kh1wI/video.html
Next - please react to 'When Britain nuked America TWICE'. The US kept that a secret for 50 years.
ADDED!
35:11 Still here Recky.
Thank you Don!
recky watch jeremy clarkson a bridge to far arham. take care mate
The biggest problem with the British army at the time was that even throughout ww2 British soldiers and especially officers were very clicky.
You were given a task and were expected to complete said task and nothing else, as an example of a bunch of royal engineers were to end up in a firefight they’d more or less ignore the enemy other than to defend themselves, but other than that they were mostly expected to dig fortifications or what not and that’s it, the same is said about the average British soldiers they’d only do whatever is ordered to them as long as it fell within their duty’s such as if a tank is stuck In some mud then the infantry would simply walk off without stopping to help and is completely opposite to what an American soldier would do and that would be to wonder off and help the tank. And is a prime example of different nationalistic military doctrines during ww2 where again the British military relied mostly on strict and ridged discipline which made them absolutely terrible when it comes to anything offensive, where even if the enemy is retreating the British would advance a mile forwards and then stop in order to consolidate.
The Germans on the other hand prioritized combined arms warfare which was actually a British idea where the British would use the UNIVERSAL CARRIERS AS A form of mobile cavalry along with aerial support. The Germans on the other hand preferred smaller elite units to take and hold any and all objectives all the while anything heavily defended or armored would be destroyed via elite combat engineers deployed via parachute, or Stuka dive bombers all the while tanks would be the vanguard and spearhead any advance whilst the infantry would provide support which is why despite Germany possessing inferior quality tanks and their mechanized armies were mostly cavalry the major misconceptions most people have about early German blitzkrieg is that both the French and British had superior vehicles and equipment but were severely hampered by grey haired socialites who paid their way into their positions and very rarely were anyone actually in their positions due to competency, along with their complete disregard and shambles with any other branches of their military or for a fact that most British tankers were once cavalry officers which in turn made them more as an independent army rather than other units to work together along with their utter shambles in terms of their communications, meant that the Germans were easily and DID run literal circles around their opponents due to the mostly disorganized tactics used by the allies at that point in the war, despite the fact that the majority of the German army comprised of either panzer 1-3 and eventually 4 but the most common were the panzer 3’s which for the most parts only had a machine gun and ha 20mm cannon which might’ve put a hole in something like a vickers or mk1 matilda but considering that the bulk of the French army were ((super heavy)) tanks ie the CHAR1 BIS, or the British Matilda were basically immune to any and all axis anti tank weapons at the time especially the Italians, only until a bit later did the Germans realize that their anti aircraft guns were so effective at destroying tanks did they start using them as anti tank guns as well as AA guns, but apart from that the problem was with such large and heavy tanks is that they were large and slow making them ideal targets for German Stuka dive bombers which then did to great effect
Have you watched the Victoria Cross video from Clarkson?
Still here Recky
What a very interesting video. I watched til the end.
Its such an amazing story!
Halfway and still here!
Late to this reaction, But am here ½ way 👋 And at the end 🎉
still here Recky! with you to the end, always love your reactions! 😁
A thought for your future videos? At places there is writing far too small for us to see (even on the title screen for this video, another line of subtext came up I can't make out even on a large HD screen laptop, I imagine even harder on a tablet or phone). Could you read some of these for us? Thanks!! 💜
Still here Recky. #HOG UK 🇬🇧
Still here and will be until the end of
Holy crap, I'm still here
Balls the size of medicine balls on those gentlemen. Must have hurt when they were running!

Made all the way through.
Thank you!
Still here Recky!
Thank you Steve!

Thank you!
Still here mate
Thank you !
The youths of today are confused. Ignore it kids.
The sacrifices of these brave men in the name of democracy. Have been passed over by every conservative and labour government. Since 1945. Vote reform.
Good job to all of you twits for getting Starmer into office.
Great job putting Starmer in office.
