• 0:29
  Speaker 3: All right, let's get into today's story.
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: In nineteen twenty six, Jack Churchill graduated from one of
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: the UK's most prestigious military academies called Sandhurst, thus becoming
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: an army officer. His first assignment was to an infantry
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: unit stationed in Burma, but when he got there it
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: was peacetime, so Jack didn't have much to do. Instead
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: of just sitting around all day, Jack did what any
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: other restless young military officer would do, and he mastered
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: the bagpipes.
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: Despite being zero.
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: Percent Scottish, he also took a trip across the entire
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: Indian subcontinent on his motorcycle, almost entirely on unpaved roads.
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: But in nineteen thirty six, despite these incredible side hobbies,
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: he just wasn't really that interested in being a part
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: of the military when there wasn't anything going on, and
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: so he decided to get out. He moved to Nairobi, Kenya,
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: where he became a newspaper editor, slash mail model, slash
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: movie extra. During his off time, he still took his
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: bagpiping very seriously, placing second in a prominent piping competition
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: in nineteen thirty eight. He also picked up another hobby, archery,
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: and he became so good at it so quickly that
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: he was chosen by England to represent them in the
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: Archery World Championships in nineteen thirty nine. Later that same year,
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: when World War Two broke out, Jack decided now's a
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: good time to get back into the army, so he
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: rejoined the army and he was promptly sent to France
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: to help the fend their borders against a potential Nazi invasion.
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: But shortly after Jack arrived, Hitler was able to push
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: through those defenses and he launched a brutal blitzkrieg campaign
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: against the Allies in France. Blitzkrieg is a military tactic
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: that's basically an all that attack all at once with
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: everything you got, so planes, tanks, artillery, infantry. You just
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: send all of it in an attempt to overwhelm your
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: enemy before you run out of resources. And in this case,
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: Hitler's Blitzkrieg was successful. In just six weeks, they not
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: only invaded France, they conquered it. But during that six
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: week battle for France that the Allies ultimately lost, Jack
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: made a name for himself by employing two particular weapons
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: that nobody else in World War two was using. He
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: is the only one who used these weapons for the
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: entirety of World War Two. Jack and two other infantrymen
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: were up on this hill overlooking this town that was
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: full of Nazis, and at some point five Nazis come
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: running out to the edge of this town and they
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: ducked behind a wall that's about thirty meters away from Jack.
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: And one of these Nazis stands up and quickly crumpled
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: to the ground, and his four Nazi comrades look to
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: see what happened to him, and they see a dead
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: man on the ground with the back end of an
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: arrow jutting out of his chest, and that arrow was
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: fired by none other than Jack Churchill. Because for the
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: duration of World War Two he didn't carry a gun,
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: he didn't need a gun. Instead, he carried a bow
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: and arrow and a long broadsword, although periodically he would
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: scoop the weapons up off of dead enemy soldiers and
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: he would fire those. When asked why he didn't just
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: carry a gun in the first place, he responded, any
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: officer that goes into action without his sword is improperly dressed.
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: From then on he became Mad Jack and his peers
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: loved him, but.
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: His leadership hated him.
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: They said he was setting a terrible example, that no
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: one should be running around with a sword in a
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: bow and arrow, but he was so effective they let
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: him continue. Throughout the brutal six week battle for France,
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: Jack would lead dozens of these small raids against the
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: Nazis and he would just pick them off one by
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: one with his bow and arrow and with his sword.
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: And in one particular raid he got shot through the neck,
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: but he was so nonchalant about it that when he
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: got back to vase. Someone was like, hey, Jack, you're
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: bleeding and he was like, oh yeah, I am.
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: They were like, well, what happened? He's like that machine gun.
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: After the Allies finally lost this battle for France and
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: were forced to evacuate, they found a diary from one
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: of the British soldiers and in it he talks about
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: the one thing that motivated him and the other troops
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: around him, and that was the site of Mad Jack
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: running hither and thither with his bow and arrow and
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: his broadsword. For his bravery in France, Jack was awarded
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: the Military Cross. After leaving France, Jack heard about this
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: new unit, the Commandos, that was being stood up to
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: aggressively sabotage Nazi operations and they were looking for volunteers. Then.
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: Jack didn't know much about what they were going to do,
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: but they promised combat, and so he was all for
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: it and he volunteered. The Commando unit would go on
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: to become the famous British Special Forces, and the training
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: they put Jack and the other volunteers through was absolutely brutal,
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: and Jack just loved it. He loved being in the Commandos.
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: After graduation in nineteen forty one, Jack was put in
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: command of a commando unit that was tasked with going
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: to this Norwegian town of Vogsoy and taking down a
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: Nazi garrison there. And so they loaded up into their
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: amphibious landing craft and Jack's got his kilt on, He's
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: got his bagpipes, and he plays the bagpipes on the
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: entire transit over to Vogzoy to pump up the commandos.
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: And then Jack's landing craft was the first to reach.
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: The shores, and when its ramp came down, Jack was
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: the first off and he just kept playing his bagpipes
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: despite the fact that the Nazis now see them and
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: they're shooting at them, so rounds are impacting around him
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: as he's blaring his bagpipes. And only when he finished
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: his song did he shoulder his bagpipes pull out a grenade.
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: He saw some Nazis running along the ridge line.
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: He throws a grenade at them and pulls out his
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: sword and runs into battle. In just a few hours,
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: the Nazi garrison had fallen and Jack was awarded his
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: second Military Cross. During the Italian Amphibious Landings in nineteen
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: forty three, Jack again was in charge of a commando
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: unit and they were tasked with capturing a Nazi observation
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: post that was in this town just outside of Salerno.
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: It was well.
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: Defended and fortified, and Jack and his men were out
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: numbered twenty to one.
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: So Jack came up with a genius plan. Instead of
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: using stealth tactics, he broke his small team into six
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: different groups, and he placed them all around the outside
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: of this town. And it was night time, so the
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: Nazis did not see them setting up, and then on
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: Jack's call, he had them all yell out at the
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: exact same time.
• 6:22
  Speaker 4: Commando and the Nazis in the town were so caught
• 6:26
  Speaker 4: off guard by all this yelling coming from all around them,
• 6:30
  Speaker 4: they assumed a huge force is coming.
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: To take over this town, and so they went on
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: the defensive. And so after their big war cry, Jack
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: and his group are the first to charge down into
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: this town. And Jack and one other guy would actually
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: splinter off and they would discover this big group of
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: Nazis that were setting up their mortars, and so Jack
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: and this guy sneak up behind one of them, and
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: Jack grabs him from behind, holds his sword to his throat,
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: and orders him to tell the rest of the team
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: to surrender, and so the rest of the team, who
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: vastly outnumber Jack and the other guy, they turn around
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: and they see this lunatic wearing a kilt, wielding a sword.
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: He's got bagpipes.
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: Slung over his shoulder, along with a bow and arrow,
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: and they're like, okay, we give up. Shortly after, the
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: rest of the Nazis in this town would surrender to
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: Jack and his men, and for his actions, Jack.
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: Would be awarded the Distinguished Service Order.
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: In nineteen forty four, Jack was in Yugoslavia with the
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: Commandos trying to capture a strategically valuable location called Point
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: six y two and when every man in his team
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: was either killed or severely wounded, and when Jack had
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: run out of arrows, instead of surrendering, he pulled out
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: his bagpipes and started playing until a grenade detonated behind him,
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: knocking him unconscious. The Nazis captured him and sent him
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: to Berlin to be interrogated because they believed, because of
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: his last name Churchill, that he was connected to or
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: related to the Prime Minister Winston Churchill. He wasn't not
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: at all, so they ordered Jack to be sent to
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: a concentration camp. On his way out of Berlin, Jack
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: secretly flicked a lit cigarette butt into one of his
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: interrogator's offices and he lit it on, but nobody knew
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: it was him. And so Jack arrives at this concentration
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: camp and he's only there for a couple of months
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: before he and another British military officer managed to escape
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: by crawling underneath one of the.
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: Barbed wire fences.
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: They had slowly burrowed a tunnel without anybody noticing, and
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: then they jumped down into this abandoned drainage pipe and
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: they crawled out to freedom that way. But their freedom
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: would be short lived because they only made it a
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: couple of miles before they were recaptured by the Nazis,
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: and so they were ordered to go to another concentration
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: camp that was considered much more secure. But after only
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: having been at this new concentration camp for less than
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: a year, once again.
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: Jack was able to escape.
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: This time, it was because there was a power outage
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: at the camp, and Jack just put a shovel down
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: and casually walked out the front gates and nobody noticed.
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: He walked one hundred and fifty miles in the treacherous
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: terrain of the Alps, surviving on vegetables he had stolen
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: from people's gardens. And then finally, eight days later, he
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: came across a United States Armored division and they took
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: him in and reconnected him with British troops, and then he.
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: Was ultimately sent back to England.
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: And while Jack was free, he was very frustrated that
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: the war in Europe was effectively over and he had
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: missed most of it, and so he requested a transfer
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: to go out to Burma to fight against the Japanese
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: in the Pacific Theater. But as soon as he got there,
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: the Americans had just dropped the atomic bombs on Nagasaki
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: and Hiroshima, Japan, abruptly ending.
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: World War Two.
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: And when Jack heard about this, he was so disappointed
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: he would not get to do any more fighting.
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: He was quoted as saying.
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: Ah, it wasn't for those Yanks, we could have kept
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: this war going for another ten years. Even though the
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: war was over, Jack desperately wanted to get into combat
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: at least one more time, and so he went to
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: jump school and qualified as a parachutist at the age
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: of forty, and with this new qualification, he was assigned
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: to a light infantry unit and they were deployed to
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: Palestine to train their army how to better fight the
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: Arab forces. And while he was there, he gained even
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: more fame when he defended a Jewish medical convoy from
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: an Arab ambush, and he did this all while wearing
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: a kilt. Another time, he and twelve of his men
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: helped evacuate seven hundred people from a Jewish hospital that
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: was under attack from Arab forces. After Palestine, Jack came
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: back to England and eventually retired from the Army and
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: then begrudgingly took a desk job within the Ministry of
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: Defense and every day on his commute home on the train,
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: he would take his briefcase and throw it out the
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: window as they were moving. What he had figured out
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: was if he threw it at the exact right moment,
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: it would land in the backyard of his house and
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: he wouldn't need to carry his briefcase from the station
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: to his house. But he didn't explain that to any
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: of the other passengers on the train. They just figured
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: there's some crazy guy who keeps throwing his briefcases out
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: the window in his retirement, he also became an extremely
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: talented surfer, and at one point he wanted to surf
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: the Severn Bore, which is this huge wave in southwestern
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: England that nobody else had surfed before, and locals that
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: were familiar with this treacherous wave they cautioned him and
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: said you really shouldn't do this, and he looked at
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: them and he just said, I'll be all right, and
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: then he proceeded to be the first person ever to
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: successfully ride that wave.
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: Jack would ultimately die in nineteen ninety six. He was
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: eighty nine years old. So that's going to do it. Guys.
