hey another cool espionage story from ww2 is how agent garbo became a spy
A frequently skipped upon fact is that the invasion of Scily started through packing a buttload of Ships filled to the brim with equipment and personell in Malta. More specifically it is said that there were so many ships between Malta (main island) and Gozo (sister island) people could walk the distance hopping from one vessel to the next. At least so I ve heard (Maltese National)
Edit: spelling
What's the tipografy of the title at 2:26?
I really enjoyed this episode guys! It was very interesting and a little bit of a break from the normal kind of videos that yall do "which I really love those too don't stop making those".
Can you guys please try to make and test Starlite? It is really good insulation and it can be made in your kitchen only by three components! If you want to look it up, NightHawkInLight has a good recipe.
When you already know stuff, but it’s still fun to watch the Modern Rogue say it.
I wish teachers were like them.
As a 22 year old I'm starting to wonder what the actual demographics of this channel are now because Brian and Jason keep getting "old man" sponsors lmao
same tho
Well, I'm definitely not an old man. I was like 16 when this video came out.
Pretty sure they're getting things they want, and get they're own discount for advertising here ..
I thought for sure that the gothic script said Operation Minecraft
aberam1 me too
i saw that as well
Operation Minceraft
*_Okay me too_*
At least its not the Minceraft thing that was apparently undiscovered for ages
I know it's been a while since this was added in, but that little count down for the opening ad actually gets me to watch them because I know exactly how fast the add is counting down. Very smart addition.
If you want ghoulish, look up Elmer McCurdy. His mummified body had quite the long career as people thought it was just a wax mannequin!
but they broke his arm off in a set for “the million dollar man” and imagine for a second what the producers face was
Smugly
“are you ready for a hot steamy load of knowledge drinping down your neck and chest”
-Sam o’nela
Not quite as wierd as Jeremy Bentham who's corpse is still in the possession of University College London.
@@smugly6793 Tarrare, did you eat a f***ing baby?
So you watch sam o nella academy as well
I just looked at the title and I already know what the story is
@@Ryan-wr8fx yeah it's a reupload. I didn't notice until I saw your comment.
I was feeling really down and then I got the notification for this video.
You guys do more good than you can know.
One of my favourite films: “The Man who Never Was” which dramatised this story. Another good WW2 deception story was filmed as “I was Monty’s Double”. The guy who played Monty/Clifton James in the film was actually Clifton James himself.
I wanna be turned into a sword when I die. Just use my arm bones for the hilt, my blood to temper the blade, and my skin to make the sheathe. I feel like that’s the best use of my corpse.
Better than my skeleton furniture idea
You can use the leftover bones (you won’t need all of them), burn them, and use the carbon from the ashes to reinforce the blade
Angelina Hilton yes, I’ve read the logistics of a blood sword.
Human chairs and hats!
HATS!
You can also compress the ashes to make a diamond and implant the diamond into the sword so your next of kin can avenge you and murder your killer which used to be your best friend and you both promised to do the same thing with the diamond and so creates a war between two families
God I can only imagine what would happen if this happened to Jason's body, his comment at :37 just screams chaos
This video was epic, you guys should do one on the Viet Kong tunnels, those were insane!
The submarine that took "Martin" to the coast has its own hilarious history. The Seraph took part in an operation to recover a French general from occupied France, however being that he was French he would not stand to be rescued by the English. Being clever industrious people the English sent a note to the US that their sub was going to be under the command of an American desk clerk working in the US embassy in London. So they acquired a US flag, repainted the boat to look less British, and spent a couple days teaching the American commands to shout to the crew.
Once the Frenchman is on board the rest of the crew begins forcing American accents which had mostly been copied from watching John Wayne in the theaters.
So yeah a submarine captained by a man who has no clue what he's doing full of Brits going "Hello pilgrim" just to get a French general across the Channel.
This story reminds me of Hawk Saw Ridge. A story of a bad ass soldier that became a war hero without using a gun. He is even interpreted by Spider-Man himself.
ive seen videos on operation mincemeat, but cant help myself for a good jason and brian
I've heard of this WWII operation before, although it seems like I learn something different and/or new every time. I'd love to hear more of the Modern Rogue's renditions of these kinds of military sabotage/espionage/deception.
...and Jason, if I ever see you in person, I'll be asking for that selfie... I don't take those, ever, and I even hate the word, "selfie," but for you, the exception will be made.
I really like these type of story videos
The thing about the canister floating always surprised me. When we’d intercept a drug boat we’d often shoot it full of 50BMG (after everybody and all of the drugs were off of it) only to find that it wouldn’t sink. We would set them on fire with very mixed results. The only thing that worked all the time was to use the ship-to-ship fire monitor to fill it with water and sink it.
The Man Who Never Was is a great film about Operation Mincemeat. The language is a bit older and if memory serves its not in colour, so watching it takes a little bit of effort today, but all the little details are in there, such as making sure only the right peoples' finger prints are on the documents and everything.
Capt. William Martin was a hero and an incredible true story. The success of the ruse was questioned but it's planning and execution were brilliant. The fact that Operation Mincemeat was always part of a larger scheme became significant.
This is why I use this screen name WLMMRTN, WLM (William) MRTN (Martin). Been using it for a LONG time.
Who else knew exactly what they were talking about before they clicked on the video?
Me!
Me
austin mconnel lol
Me
I did, but that’s only because this is my 5th time rewatching it 😂
Austin McConnell did a great vid on this if you want to see it from a more serious point of view
As well as Tom Scott.
Trash
I knew the story was familiar, that's probably where I saw it before.
and LEMMiNO I believe. basically every cool youtuber has made a video on this
I already knew about this but I love y’all explaining it.
I remember Tom Scott did a video about this
didn't the tech difs talk about it? may be just as a riff, not a full episode
woah this was a really cool episode, the sat down discussion with animations
I love this story. I love reading about it. I love watching videos of it. This has everything needed for a dark, ridiculous comedy. Accidental suicide victim turned war hero, scholarly underpants, eccentric intelligence officers, tennis star / incompetent Nazi spies. EVERYTHING!! I know they're making another movie right now, but I'm writing my own screenplay, dammit!
As a side note this story inspired a badass song by Rick Springfield and most of the Foo Fighters called “The Man That Never Was”
Mister Brushwood, I am a calligrapher and I would happily get your fingernails and turn them into nibs for calligraphy. Nails are tough and, when treated properly with preservatives and used with good ink and paper, they'll do just as well as steel and gold nibs. Albeit more macabre, which is up my alley.
Seriously, it works. I've used branches, animal bones, my own fingernails. They work as calligraphy instruments.
Austin McConnell has a great video on Operation Mincemeat
They should have also mentioned that this guy was given full military honors as an army officer when he was finally buried, both to continue the deception probably, but also... I mean, a homeless guy saved 20,000 lives, he earned it!
Micah Philson Good point!
The Man Who Never Was is a fantastic movie and honestly the biggest tragedy of this video is that Jason hadn't seen it when they filmed.
Go watch it, guys. Good stuff.
Advertising erectile correction services?
Hmm I wonder how you folks wondered across that service
E-mail: "Hey, you want a shitton of money for a sponsored ad?"
@@killerkonnat Oh yeah, Roman has been everywhere online, and I've seen them on TV, during sports and such.
@@Ethereal_109 theyre smart with theirs ads, not a single dick, and theyre buying up a crap ton of ad space on pornhub as a way for people to not have to look at those dumb porn games
@@killerkonnat pretty much lmao
@@Badusername2000 how do you know about pornhub ads.
By shear coincidence The Man Who Never Was is currently on BBC in the UK!
I just love to watch these two geek out, and go ROGUE on the topics
The beady eyed doctor callback had me genuinely in tears laughing, I wasn't prepared.
Always a pleasure to Sponsor an episode.
Roman haha lol
2:49 "Front Guard, Janneman" Well played.
I've never been so entertained listening to someone talk about their fingernails. I loved the subject of the upload..but i gotta be honest here...I want more fingernail/ bionic zombie banter.
Loved this episode! Hoping to see more of this rather than list videos!
More stories like these 🙏🏼🙌🏻
Great video!
Love when blooper clips get into the main episode
One of the -in my opinion- funniest things during the WW2 is that Sicily, as well as other Italian's regions, have had a lot of people moving to the U.S. for work. So, families had sons and daughters in the States. That plus a general discontent with Mussolini has lead Sicilians, and pretty much a lot of Italians in the rest of the South Italy, helping the allied troops by offering food, showing them around to the ports and stuff, shelters ecc.
So, really. Landing on Sicily was the best option for the allies in so many obscure and "funny" ways.
1 week=5 episodes
Me cry laughing:AAA YEEEA
* sees title* "i bet this is operation mincemeat" 2:20 "YES!"
Keep up the great work!!!
Operation Mincemeat is an amazing story.
I wish I could be that useful 😂
Watching this video I've learned two things. 1. War is now, somehow, even worse. And 2. Jason and Brian don't have to worry about erectile dysfunction. In other words, another amazing modern rogue video.
I watch this whilst drunk and watch it again whilst sober I love it
Nice episode!
Damn hats off to the animations in this one
What happened to the “Cause I’m a modern rogue!” intro?
I love shit like this. If you guys ever choose to I would 100% listen to a podcast made by you guys.
Nothing better to relax to than the modern rogue talking about a dead body
Haven't watched it yet but this whole video is fantastic
Haha
Really cool to see this proto-version of the first season of The World's Greatest Con!
Agent Zig Zag is cool as well if you are into real-life James Bond during WWII.
"Why you acting like a doctor? With your *beady* eyes" Fuckin lost it
Just noticed, you guys have the same speakers I use for that computer in the background.
The telling of this story in the new podcast is way better. Not that this episode is bad, but I'm loving the podcast
Something that I think would be a great addition to the list of roguish skills would be learning how to shave with a straight edge (cutthroat) razor.
Doctor with beady eyes... Hmmm... If only there was an extended outtake for that!
They could have made it to 12:34. But no.
I just saw about this on the info graphics show
But this more enjoyable
God these really are professionals can’t believe they both kept a straight face with Murphy’s reverse Hitler mustache
Great story!
There is also the story of how Hedy Lamarr invented the guided torpedo....
Quick question. Are you sure the homeless person killed himself with Rat poison?
Rat poison is nearly harmless to humans except in huge quantities due to the fact that it's composition is not a "poison" per say but a mixture of blood thinner and fiberglass. It kills rats and mice because they squeeze through very tiny spaces perforating the stomach lining and causing physical damage to the organs, however for humans who do not do that it may just cause uncomfortable bowel movements.
see also "The Grave of the Man Who Never Was: Operation Mincemeat" on Tom Scott's channel as well.
I'm so glad this doctor joke is still going😂
Btw this story reminds me of the movie The Guns of Navarone where British operatives gave their injured friend false information to mislead the German forces in a similar way
Sometimes I think that online doctors are the way forward. But that industry really has to be HEAVILY regulated, I want to talk to someone who knows what he is doing, not some hack.
This is not only true for boner pills, but also for psychotherapy I think, whatever people say it's still shameful.
Well done.
Ah... Mssr. Murphy, would you terribly mind if I, uh... appropriated this idea of yours and incorporated it into my own funeral? Much thanks.
I've noticed all the MR episodes have #1975 on them now. Does anyone know what that's about?
It's the first Catfish! There's no way you could do this cleanly today with things like google image search and internet wayback machine. Some dead guys party pictures from instagram would show up and completely ruin the immersion.
You know, you don't have to be dead to carve one of your fingernails into a dip-pen. It worked for Inspector Gadget.
I love these two Baby-Man.
I met a WW2 veteran who was at the Invasion of Scilly, if this didn't go the way it did i might not have been able to meet him.
Do these guys have a podcast?
Well boys, this was an excellent show, one of my favourites by far, but you know they've run out of content when they're hashing out this old story for clicks. Not a diss Brian I love everything you do and you have produced some great stuff, always growing and changing with the times. Godspeed to the next innovation.
Read the book recently.. a very good if not slightly padded read
This truly is the Worlds Greatest Con!!!
I have those same speakers
☺ the first story that i read about before the video came out
Doctors and their beady eyes
That's a callback and a half!
I just realized this is the same guy as the guy in Scam School I used to watch him all the time
Nice! Welcome back!
I often travel to greek and sardines ;) interesting ep.!
Tom Scott did a video on this
Please tell me I’m not the only one who read the thumbnail as Operation Minecraft
52% of men over 40 have some form of ED
Here we have two men in their 40s
..One of these things is not like the other
By those statistics one of them is 2% like the other.
so who has ed?
Funny, I was just listening to a podcast about this...
My grandfather’s name is William Martin. Definitely a common name
I read mincemeat and instantly thought of Kay's Cooking channel on youtube
This is a reupload? I've seen this somewhere
If I die I wish that I can pull off what jigsaw did and make sure that my enemies die in a gruesome, painful way even after I'm dead
What's with the music in my left ear?
When a body floats up o shore you tend to not question the data
Do a understanding wine series
Cody Koh It’s on the list!
If you are intrigued by this the movie “The man who never was” is a must see.
