I think the archival footage makes the movie. I really do. I'm so glad we approached the NZ Archive for the footage. For me, I never appreciate the wrong footage being used in a film.
Very cool. I worked with a guy in Calgary whose father was a doctor on a U Boat which was damaged in the Mediterranean. He ended up as a POW as well, escaping once. After the war, he immigrated to Canada and worked as a surgeon.
Well done Marty! Love Episode 2. But admit the next installment looks pretty cool as well. Shame we couldn't film when we were intercepted by the military and detained for a few hours. But all in all a great piece of the story!
Question for the hive-mind out there: What do you think the team should try to tackle next? It needs to be historically interesting; It needs to be accessible (for a given value of 'accessible'); It needs to be do-able in about a month (negotiable) from the UK; It needs to be legal - permits need to be obtainable; It needs to be safe - personal hazard, not so bad - armed guards, just no! It needs to be a fun trip! Let the comments commence...!!!
Really enjoyed this.
Happy to hear!
Another great job, Marty. Your technical skill and your artistry are improving by leaps & bounds. 🤠
Thanks, Alan!
Brilliant.... loved every second.
Thank you!
Fabulous video
Chasing the last WW2 patrols is a really exciting and interesting adventure
I really enjoy watching each instalment
Thank you! Happy you enjoyed each episode. Watch "The Search for Popski's Lost Patrol" available on my channel.
The archive film is superb.

@@travelbagphotography Absolutely.
My grandfather served under Rommel was captured and sent to the US as a pow.
Really enjoying this series.

Another dynamic, informative, and adventurous story caught in your creative film, Martin! Looking forward to watching the next one soon!
Thanks for the kind words, Karen.
Awesome. Can't wait for the next installment!
Episode 3: Sand School coming soon!
Great video! Looks like an amazing expadition in to the desert, full of history.
We missed you this trip, dude!
Superb video, Marty. I've sent the link to relatives of Capt Nick Wilder of Wilder's Gap, and Colonel Bagnold, LRDG founder.
That's fantastic! Thank you so much.
I see "Episode 1 - the Sun Compass" is in the links above. That's well worth a watch too.
cool, great video 😊
Gracias, amigo!
Nice edit Marty. Love the historic elements as well. Be good to make another soon.
Thanks, Andy. I like the fact the historical footage is accurate. Makes my heart warm.
Nice work ( as usual).
Thanks, Steven!

Almost worth the day in a Tunisian jail!
@@travelbagphotography Only 'almost'? 🤠

Retrace the route that was used in the movie “Ice Cold in Alex”
I did propose an "Ice Cold in Alex" tour, but some of the current geopolitical realities were pointed out to me. .
I understand a large segment of western Egypt is out of bounds for tourists but I think it's worth an investigation.
@@travelbagphotography totally agree.
