Amazing War Stories: Extra Ammo - Pilot Episode

Amazing War Stories: Extra Ammo is the supporting VODCAST of the Amazing War Stories Podcast. In each of these new episodes, hosts Ed Sayer and Bruce Crompton talk about military heroes and examine rare military artefacts. In this pilot episode, we tell the 'origin' story of Bruce, how he got into military collecting and talk about some of his rarer pieces - including the famous original helmet from the movie Full Metal Jacket, Joker's glasses, and how Stephen Spielberg almost wrote off one of Bruce's vehicles on the set of Saving Private Ryan.

Just came across this video, and when I saw Bruce Crompton I was straight in there, Love this guy, combat dealers was a drug to me, I knew he had a bad accident from parachuting but didn’t realise it was as serious as he explained, keep your eyes on him Sue he’s just has expensive has a tank, mind you he’s built like one, keep doing what you’re doing Bruce 👍👍❤️❤️❤️👍👍👍

we need programs like this to keep our identity as a nation alive , I have always had a keen interest in both world wars mainly ww2 my dad served in the second & like Bruces friend was at Dunkirk (BEF) and seen first hand the horrors of those who frightened beyond belief , my mum was German she was living in the Rhur district which as you know was targeted heavily she has seen both horrors , humility & suffered much so I love listening & reading stories of the everyman who lived & served on both sides , program like yours is in my opinion vital to keep history alive therefore I thank you

Thanks for watching

Thought the mp40 was a sub machine gun as it was pistol round

[@simonfazackerley8131]

Mp stands for machine pistol

[@AdamMann3D]

Love Bruce. Excellent. But if I can be pedantic. the first version WW2 German helmet is an M35, not 38. There was 35, then 40, then 42.

[@AmazingWarStories]

You’re quite right - the M38 was the first German paratroopers helmet. Good spot.

[@TheMooster01]

Do a video about the US green berets in Vietnam
