Many are heroes in their own minds but real heroes do exist. #vstrom #motorcycle #history #ww2 #motorcycletouring I wish my dad had been able to see this place with me. He would have loved it.
Absolutely love these story videos.... Remember my Dad telling me about him while watching one of his films. Really enjoyed this Duncan... Great effort 👍🏻
really great video Duncan 👍 these are regions that we don't know and hey, it's great that you tell us about them in such a transparent way without any frills. A true hero in those days. 💪 loving it
What a madman. What's cool is that I can visualize it somewhat in my head on how this battle played out in the 3rd person but with you going down the road in 1st person, it's like a whole different prospective.
Quite a few actors fought in the war.One American actor was to old but used HIS connections to get into the Airforce & flew bombers. NZ 🇳🇿 has Charles Upham who won 2 Victoria Crosses in WW2 but wasn't a actor a humble farmer who shunned the limelight.
@@GermanJobbies When I was at Primary school 5-11yrs olds the neighbor was a WW1 veteran of Gallipoli & Somme & European theater.Our Headmaster & Deputy were WW2 veterans & caretaker was a Canadian D-day veteran & once a year on Anzac week they would march in with medals 🏅 on chest behind the WW1 veteran huge respect.HE would tell us about Gallopoli no holes barred blood,guts everything. HE said you could smell the body odour of the Turks here them talking & could lob a grenade into trenches they were that close at times.HE said they made sling shots to extend range of grenades & guns with submarine scopes to look over the top.How the Maoris did a Haka hours before going over the top.The Turks were scared they'd eat them they had traditional weapons like Greenstone & bone,wood blunt weapons as well as army kit.The Kiwi's took Chunik Bair the hill top & held the high ground & were waiting for the British who didn't come The British General was having a cuppa tea 🍵 on the beach & didn't believe the Kiwi's had taken the high ground & ordered it to be shelled & killed most of them.The survivors after the shelling stayed up their the night on hill to hold the vantage point cause if they could get support,reinforcements they could take the whole Peninsula.They were up there alone then cut off & the Turks counterattack in their thousands against a hundred odd survivors who eventually ran out of ammo & wiped out.After the war the Turks said they were fighting with rocks,traditional weapons in their hands & even the Colonel had a rock in his hand.NZ's Lost Battalion of Gallopoli.The WW1 veteran telling the story was in the second wave that never made it up & watching with their C.O begging to be released by British General.The Ausie's watched from Lone Pine & reported to top Brit General Haig I think 🤔 & he sacked the British General who had a cuppa tea 🍵 on beach & said it was because he was to scared to engage & replaced him & they could of taken Peninsula.The hill top was never taken again the Turks held it until the retreat & Gallipoli campaign failed cause of a General & Cuppa 🍵 tea. NZ WW1 veteran survived & went to the Western front for another 3yrs.NZ had 1 in 8 people in WW1 all its able fighting men & had the most volunteers out of Empire Countries lowest draught numbers.When I was about 9-10 HE died & was a big Hooha.We use to lean on the fence & he would be on sitting on his step or doing garden & tell us stories he liked talking about it so did the WW2 Canadian Caretaker which was a honor to hear & Principal who was WW2 veteran didn't mind cause he never talked about his experiences as most don't.
Dedicated soldier! Massive respect to the man! I never knew about this guy and what he did was brave and mad! I will definitely check this guy out, thank you so much for sharing this story. I love learning about these things. Thank you!
@@Vikki_Horton ok 🤔I didn't realise folks still liked this kinda stuff but yeah I'm gonna try more of this. It'll never be polished though. Thanks again V 😁
@@GermanJobbies I love your style of videos, especial how you did this one. Don't worry if its not polish etc... I love the way you do your content. :D
What a great informative video Duncan Audie sure had some Cahoonahs. This story also brought something else to mind, plane crashes are a fairly rare occurrence unless of coarse they are transporting someone of great notoriety 🙄🤔😒😖
@@GermanJobbies Thanks D.! Hopefully the rest of the journey will be OK. Now in the Area between Parma and Genua, heading to Aosta tomorrow. 😜 Greetzzz! 👍🤘
good times make weak men and all. I absolutely believe that to be true. Then again we know a bit more about how the world works today and why modern wars are waged, so that's also a thing. Also, who in the political class can hold a speech to truly inflame and motivate young men these days? Was listening to Enoch Powell some time ago and regardless of how he is viewed, by god that man could talk. That class of politicians is gone, completely.
There are no conviction politicians any more. None of them believe in anything and even if they did, they'd never as you say be able to enthuse anyone anyway. The third rate are now in power.
