As an historian for over 50 years, THIS is about THE FINEST written, presented/narratored, and produced WWII docs I've ever seen. Exactly as if ur right there with these extraordinarily brave and courageous men. Now I need to research WHO GAVE the go-ahead on the Tobruk raid.
Some men rise above and go way beyond the call of duty. Thank God for those who serve, my own relatives died in WW1, these men are directly responsible for my freedoms, their not forgotten, I'm beyond grateful. 🇺🇸
One of the problems with special forces hero worship is that positive reinforcement tends to exclude the failures, such as Operation Agreement above. For example, in a debacle on a similar scale, the Brandenburgers lost virtually their entire Parachute Battalion trying to seize Romanian airfields in August 1944, but you never hear about that.

War is war. Often things happen that you'd say, " I would never do succha thing ! " But , in the heat of the moment, you find yourself doing things that you'd never dreamed yourself possible of, on any other day. May Creator grant us enough time to forgive ourselves for the things that we regret, the things we are not proud of, the things, if given the chance - we would do differently. Forgiving yourself is the first step to achieving forgiveness.
A documentary that highlights the fact that a failed mission small or big does not mean that the men/women assigned to were failures. On the contrary, they were the men/women who risked their lives notwithstanding knowing that all the odds were against them in those missions! This is called blind courage and bravery!
Please back off on the music track. It’s a great story, but when the music is overdone it distracts and takes away from it. The music’s intensity is unnecessary for the story, is a distraction, and it makes it harder to understand the narration.
Tam o'shanters (TOS) not berets in Scottish regiments but you're correct in why Scottish soldiers were used in the thumbnail. Perhaps this was part of the deception in case German, Arab or Italian spies were operating in the area.
Just read a book on “Orde Wingate “ of the Chindits fame ….anyway he was involved in putting down the 1936 Arab revolt against the Jews in Palestine…he recruited a night brigade to eliminate Arab terrorists attacking Jewish villages…the biggest praise reaped on him came from Moshe Dayan who said they learnt everything off Wingate on unorthodox special forces warfare ….
51 Commando $^%#^^$$( err .... never heard of them, however you present a pic of these men two of whom wear the headdress of my old regiment so may i suggest that you mean the legendary! 51st Highland Division.

@@kwanchan6745You know there's always the other side of the story which you haven't heard. May I suggest that you look into it a bit deeper. With respect.
Why are there blurred sections done by editors, what are you hiding? If you want to tell history then it must all be seen otherwise you are not telling/showing what really happened. If the young don’t see the truthful horror of history then they are destined to repeat it.
Never heard of the SIG and the war footage of the North Africa campaign does not help as its too Generalized. Operation Agreement, of which the SIG were part, was a total disaster, nothing went to plan. Instead of "Undermining the Axis war effort", the goal of the plan, it cost 1,575 Casualties, 3 Warships and 14 smaller boats sunk. The Germans and Italians lost just 15 men!
it sure is wikipedia has banned zio washing and kicked out the adl as page editors, as a result you can still see the true facts about the lions of judah they never fought the germans, they spent most of their time stealing weapons and ammunition for the real fight, against the british in palestine after ONLY 6 months, the british high command got fed up with their non-sense and disbanded them, the members were so "useful" to the war effort that they were assigned to the pioneer corp, digging toilets and trenches...its all on wiki
A great story but awful overdone soundtrack. So intrusive I almost turned the programme off. If you've got a good tale to tell, it doesn't need any sexing up with this row.

@19:31 your graphics map shows the German advance on Egypt as a 2-pronged attack going straight through the Quatra Depression and also south of it. This is bad history and shame on you for fomenting such fake history. If you cannot get such basic map details right, then all of your other data must be suspect too. I stopped watching at that point and voted you down and no subscription. 👎👎
The Jews have always been the the true Palestinians! Palestine is the name Rome gave to ISRAEL in 83AD when they invaded Israel. The Arabs living there were always just Arabs. How do we know this? All of the archaeological digs and expeditions have never turned up a indigenous Palestinian language on any pottery, scrolls, or pieces of cloth. It’s all been Hebrew. You have been lied to by Yasser Arafat! If you have access to the Internet, which you obviously do to be able to make your stupid comments, I would suggest you go and actually do some historical research. It might be very eye-opening for you to find out you have been lied to since birth!

Love this❤❤❤❤from +254
Fabulous video, I love these videos on little known subjects
This was the inspiration for the 1967 film Tobruk starring Rock Hudson and George Peppard. One of my favorite war films.
TY for this! Fascinating documentary! Brave brilliant Jews
Never seen your channel or smaller battles like these tkz this is amazing keep up the good work.
Very good documentary!

Do you guys have a podcast version of this type of documentaries ❤
Thank you for a piece of history not very well known, and for portraying yet another act of bravery by the incredible Jewish people. God bless them.
Unbelievable courage, and sad too, they look so young and full of the beginning of life energy.

Long ago, they were soldiers long before they were call to defend their countrymen family and faith. It has been in their blood, from father to son.

There is an excellent book by Howard Blum called “The Brigade”. Highly recommend.

Well done we lost a uncle fighting in Tunisia .

We don't need the awful "muzak".

29:58 "a golden iron cross" - such a thing didn't exist. It surely was a German golden cross.
Anyway the ultimate special force ever was undoubtedly the LRDG.

THats your complaint? The musics too loud. That’s what you learned after watching? The musics too loud?
