He tricked the guards during his detention to believe he was a son of Winston Churchill, and so was treated in relative luxury as a prisoner of high importance. Later on in his life he was known to throw his suitcase out the window of the train on the way home from work. Someone eventually asked him why, and he explained that he was throwing it into his backyard so he didn't have to carry it from the station. A true English eccentric.

So while everyone else has the game set to Normal mode Jack Churchill opts for the extra challenge of Hardcore. :)

How no one has made a movie about this guy's life is beyond me. Like to see who they would get to play him.

The more I search human history and mythology the more I appreciate all these ideas and values behind fantasy heroes.

He was also the first man to surf the Severn Bore and also rounded up scores of Germans in the hills around Salerno with his claymore... my dad served alongside him in 2 Commando 1943.

Imagine Jack Churchill and Leo Major fighting together!

Jack holds the only confirmed kill by bow during ww2 ... He was a crazy man, just the kind needed when the world needs saveing...

Zambie Slaya2016 Jesus, if he was even real, was just a man born out of wedlock who’s mother clearly had an affair and claimed then immaculate conception by god and due to the fact that everyone was stupid and feared non existent beings called god or allah etc etc they all believed it. Mary then had to keep up the pretence and convince Jesus he was the son of god. Stop believing fairytale books, which is what the bible, Quran etc all are and start reading up on Science since it is science that has provided the wonderful advancements of man and dragged us out of those religious dark ages. Jesus isn’t god and god doesn’t exist, neither does allah and no other mythical god.

Wasn't it the last confirmed longbow kill ever?

Really great story about an uncommon man. Well done!

You really must cover Paddy Mayne. As he was often called. Blair Mayne was the first man recruited into the newly forming SAS by David Sterling. Incredible man.

Fascinating story - I have always found that history - if presented well - is far more entertaining than fiction.

Faithful warrior, or stuck on stubborn you make the call. I can remember this story when it first unfolded, the locals had long been aware of his presence,and considered him little more than a common thief. It is the type of attitude displayed here that led to entire garrisons being wiped out to the man. It would have been nice if there had been more survivors of the island occupations to give account.

He is the most badass in War history and he needs a Mad Jack movie in his name

Nice information about little known history trivia.

this man had a life worth living

Is this story too unbelievable to film? Cause if Desmond Doss had a movie, Mad Jack deserves even more movies.

I really enjoyed this and I learnt a lot too, thanks.

Archery was compulsory here for many centuries, literally all other sports were banned and replaced by archery lesions/practice. Bravo, good show old chap ;)

He also won the Bagpipe Competition at the Aldershot Tattoo, upsetting the Scots. Represented England at the World Archery Championships in Oslo. Captured an Italian town single-handed, he threw grenades so rapidly that the Italian troops though there were more men attacking them than there were.

"Any officer who goes into action without his sword is improperly dressed."

Actually this video is incorrect, Jack Churchill was not the only soldier to carry a sword into battle in WW2.The German Major-General Ernst-Gunter Baade, also carried a claymore and dressed in a kilt to battle in North Africa.Baade was the German armies maverick General, but highly competent, as he proved with his assault on Bir Hacheim, and his leadership of the 90th Panzergrenadier Division.Sadly Baade died on the last day of the war, whilst on the run after shooting an SS officer, his car was strafed and he died of wounds in hospital.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ernst-G%C3%BCnther_Baade

I took your suggestion to heart and joined you, for you have interesting subjects! :o)

what an awsom story of what a great man

Note that when the artillery killed all his friends he sat do and play " We ye not come back" on his bag pipes.

Wow he lived to be 90. Amazing he didn't get shot in the war with such a close combat weapon. Wow very interesting he fought on both fronts of the war. Japan and Germany

Word has it that he went to hell for killing people during the war, but got down there and proceeded to kick the devil's ass and escape.

What a badass

Holy hell, this man named Jack was based as hell, my lord gong into battle with a longbow?!?!?!? That's gangster

War, war never changes

Meanwhile, The first German soldier that was killed by Jack Churchill in heaven: "Wait...I was killed by a medieval weapon in the 20th century?"

its funny you always pop up at the start of your vids

They should make him a movie

Hollywood would de-embellish Mad Jack's contribution in order to sound realistic. It's ironic that Hollywood embellishes things so much to make them realistic, yet Mad Jack's accomplishments would have to be toned down to achieve the same effect.

Similarly, the leader of the Chindits, General Wingate; Col Douglas Fairbairn (commando knife); and the founder of the SAS, Colonel Sir Archibald David Stirling, were all fearless, sometimes reckless but creative, eccentrics. What is often called 'British genius'.

World War 2 was hell. My grand father died at Auschwitz. He broke his neck when he fell out of his guard tower.

What a badass damn

strait bad ass

“The ‘Italian’ island of Sicily?”-That’s like saying,”the British island of Britain”, or “the Maltese island of Malta”.

He was pretty much badass :D

If as can do this. Achilles must have been a real live savage...

He may be viewed as a crazy hero but that’s simply because he has survived and there was something to tell. There were many more bigger heroes who may not even have survived. In my opinion bravery isn’t an excuse for stupidity.

Interesting fact from wikipedia.org: "In late April 1945 Churchill and about 140 other prominent concentration camp inmates were transferred to Tyrol, guarded by SS troops.[22]. A delegation of prisoners told senior German army officers they feared they would be executed. A German army unit commanded by Captain Wichard von Alvensleben moved in to protect the prisoners. Outnumbered, the SS guards moved out, leaving the prisoners behind.[22] The prisoners were released and after the departure of the Germans, Churchill walked 150 kilometres (93 mi) to Verona, Italy, where he met an American armoured force.[11]"
