Nice short recount...
My dad fought in this battle 😭 R .I.P.
🇮🇪☘️
I'm sorry to say but, actually, these Irish soldiers incl. Pat Quinlan, and also the rest of the UN troops in Katanga were war criminals. They attacked a country and killed people without any ground, without authorization from any side and, as a matter of fact, in strict contradiction to the Charta of the United Nations. Moreover, the attack of the UN military forces on Katanga was an attack without a Declaration of war, which is forbidden per se. Remember, in any conflict it is not the job of the UN to take sides and to provide military support on one side in order to enforce its own will. It is the job of the UN to ensure that there is NO fighting so that the conflict can be resolved peacefully through negotiations. In the Kongo crisis the UN clearly failed to do their job as they attacked Katanga with military forces. It may nevertheless be true that the Irish troops were fighting bravely and that Pat Quinlan was a military genius (in the context of the siege of Jadotville). However, attention should also be drawn to the fact that the (alleged) numbers of the Katangese fighters and of the Katangese casualties are extremely exaggerated. The number of 300 dead Katangese soldiers is repeated in many reports, but I found only a single original source which gives a basis were this number actually comes from: When the Irish soldiers (after their surrender) were transported as prisoners in buses to a hotel in Jadotville, they saw a stack of coffins on the side of the road. They estimated that there were about 30 coffins, and they assumed that (a) the coffins were for the soldiers that they have killed in the fight, (b) that the coffins are for whites only so that they have killed about 30 white mercenaries, and (c) that they killed the 10-fold number of black Katangese soldiers, i.e altogether about 300 people. However, this is not a serious estimate, and these reports from the UN or the Irish troops about the casualties which they allegedly have inflicted should be viewed with caution.
Those men were set up. They were sent there to die. Dirty backroom politics. Well done to Pat Quinlan for bringing his men home safely. The way he was treated on his return was beyond disgraceful and again they were scapegoated again to cover for Conor Cruise O’Brien’s backroom dealings.
Great work ! Loved the movie. My step Grandfather was a sniper in WWI. He was in the battle of the Somme and survived but badly wounded in the face ending his participation. Although we only discovered that recently by searching his military records. He never told anyone.
Please start making videos again. They are done very well. 👌🙂
I've been able to get back into content creation but I decided to start a new channel with a clean slate, you can find me here: youtube.com/@todayshistory1398?si=YoBLhz3I1M7GZn2w My content is in a very similar format and style, just a broader approach. Thank you for your support!!
This was very well done. You deserve a lot more subscribers.
Thank you so much!!
Dangerous soldier's 😳
The most impressive part of this, is how "make believe" combat training actially works IRL - The Irish troopers had no real combat practice, none of them had ever seen combat. yet they performed like superstars
Two men from the next town over from me were Irish soldiers in the Seige of Jadovile, true heroes one and all.
nice vid
I should have expected the socialist line, but it still surprised me. This is TOTAL b.s., the free constitutional republic of Katanga was murdered at birth by the UN. Mass murder,rape, and war crimes are the legacy of the UN in Katanga. Attacks/bombing of schools, hospitals, post offices, and churches were only the start. Mass murder of civilian men, women, children, and elderly was common. The Irish soldier was as duped as the American people. Damn the UN.
Disgraceful how the Irish were treated on returning home after this battle,fair play to all who persevered in getting the truth out,and now the Irish government are cheerleaders for the United.nations.
Conor Cruise O’Brien has a lot to answer for.
Pat Quinlan was my grand uncle in law, the treatment he and his company received post Congo affected him for the rest of his life. Such a shame recognition did not come while he still lived.
Old Phuqqing de Valera didn't want any modern young Irish heroes to upstage his 1966 recreation of the 1916 Rising with him as the superhero. Useless old self serving barsteward.
It seems the Irish followed what a wise general once said, always have the high ground.
The fact that you only have 77 subscribers is a crime. Subbed!
Hell of a trained company honestly. No combat experience, maybe there was a SGT or something with some, but I doubt it. But they had accurate counter mortar fire, good battle plan, good management of the engagement. Fought until they had no bullets left to fight with. Reminds me of Roarke's Drift, kind of.
Great video! There's not a lot of information on the defensive tactics of Jadotville on youtube. Thank you for creating this.
They Jadotville lads were 35. th Battalion. My father served with previous Battalion the 34th and they saw their fair share of combat too. Often heard my dad mention the Baluba cats
Good presentation. Subbed.
Thank you!! Glad you enjoyed
Thank you for the explanation, only video I could find on this that ACTUALLY explained why we were there. Add some quite background music to keep people with low attention spans listening. Also work on your breathing between sentences. Great video. Hope you get big 🤟
Excellent video
Thank you!!
Considering the overwhelming odds and lack of combat experience it must be said the Irish soldiers did a remarkable job , it's a pity the Irish government at the time didn't treat these heroes with the respect they deserved
They still don't the Irish government are walking all over us as per usual. Sad but true
Politicians 😂 why are you surprised
This is an excellent explanation of a battle that showed the extraordinary courage of the Irish solders, the duplicity of the Belgian and French governments and the spinelessness of the politicians in the UN who left these men to fend for themselves and then condemned them for not dying in a bloody slaughter. Pat Quinlan was indeed a hero and a great military strategist who gave the French mercenary Rene Faulques more than a run for his money. Faulques, incidentally, is considered a hero in France, which doesn't say much for the French.
It actually shows the French in their true light!
I think that Quinlan was with Jamie Dornan for the movie
Great video! You’re maps really helped to understand the tactical strategy used to save lives of A Company
Glad you enjoyed it!!
Nice video! I didn't know about this battle. Also, the voiceover sounds great.
Really detailed overview, interesting and informative.
Thank you!! Glad you enjoyed it!
Great that you put chapters in your video. Why not allow your subscriber count be shown? Everyone starts somewhere so it's not such a big deal I don't think. The most important thing you are doing with this battle overview is that you are including the background on WHY it happened and both perspectives. Nice job with map symbols.
I'm glad you like my format!! I plan to try to give a good bit of background and context around things but, if people already know or want to skip that part, they're free to!! Also, thanks for putting that out. I thought my subscriber count was visible, I checked my settings and it should be now🤞🤞🤞
@@20thcenturybattles10 we have some videos that you might like. They might give you some ideas. For example the tank videos from the Battle of Zadar, the Zeljeva underground air base, and the one with "nearly forgotten battles" in the title. Seriously though if you want to do something about any battles in Germany that might be near us, we can maybe go there and get photos of it today, or photos of the terrain. We just bought a drone too so that could help if it's in an area that flying is allowed.
@@WayIntoAdventures Watched a couple fo your videos, love the research and knowledge you add into your content!! I'll have to put together some ideas and reach out!
Your channel is a great idea! Sort of like Mark Felton, but focused on battles. If there are any battles that we are near that we can help you with we are happy to. Last summer we went to the battlefield for the Battle of Zadar. If you look at our channel we have two tank videos from that battle. We live in Germany, so if there is anything we can help with please let us know. If it's possible we will do our best. We even have a small battle near our house. It is called the "Ambush at Lohnsfeld." The anniversary just passed. We've even found shrapnel from it.
Great stuff!! I'll definitely keep you guys in mind!! You definitely got some great content and I'm confident we can find some common ground 😁😁
