"I was ordered not to die." and that's how you live forever.

“Surviving on vegetables he *liberated* from gardens” That me chuckle.

Honestly, imagine being an italian spotter, and just seeing a Bear carrying artillery shells to the troops

*kills 30 innocent people* “Nah homie you aight

The image of that guy with two prosthetic legs trying to escape constantly has made my day. What an absolute boss.

0:05 The Japanese soldier who didn't surrender until 1974 5:28 Mad Jack Churchill 11:23 Battle for castle Itter 15:24 Korean soldier on D-Day 17:18 Attack of the Dead Men 20:13 The Flying Ace with no legs 25:36 The Soldier Bear For convienence.

"Survivng on vegetables he had liberated from gardens..." amazing!

Mad Jack also won the medal for the biggest balls known to history.

>Mad Jack is good at Archery >Mad Jack fought in Operation Archery

Everyone at zoo: what a cute bear! Wojtek: retirement is boring.

**Looks at the video sees all the ad's* Well this is a channel that puts it's heart and sweat into these videos research and animations, happy to watch since I can't donate and know that you guys are one of the best channel that we shouldn't see go away

That last one was really awesome. Imagine having a bear as one of your comrades.

Fun fact for everyone: Wojtek held the rank of a corpral while in the polish army

10:06 "surviving on the vegetables he had... liberated from gardens" I love SimpleHistory 😂

Infinity war is the most ambitious crossover in history Me: the battle for castle itter in 1945

The bagpipes. Best way to make your enemy surrender.

The only crossover is when mad jack and the flying ace were in Dunkirk

Someone needs to make a film on the story of Mad Jack.

The Battle of Castle Itter literally sounds like a WWII Fanfiction.

What country did you fight for? Yang Kyoungjong: “All of them!”

Thanks for the A- in history

Its weird to think some of these people were in the same battlefields at the same times.

Germans: We have dogs! Wojtek: *Exists* Polish: We have a bear!

Imagine you are under heavy fire and you finally get a glance of the enemy and a bear is handing them ammo.

Hiroo onoda missed 14 Godzilla films during his campaign.

Mad Jack is the British incarnation of Rambo

This was depressing. But crazy how loyal he was to Japan. The human spirit is a fantastic thing.

That poor korean guy. He probably just wanted to live a quiet life only to keep getting pressed in to different wars.

>You secretly enter a Polish military base to gather intel >Your location is exposed... >It's a bear Shhheeeeeeeeeiiitttttt

"I have an Army" Poland: "We have a Bear"

My teacher gets mad I know so much about what we are learning because of this channel. Thanks!

The HistoryChannel ain't nothing compared to this content!

28 minutes of Simple history? And i though christmas is over

War: happens Mad Jack: Aight, I'm boutta head out.

Who needs Navy SEAL's when you can have Army BEAR's!

Wojtek is my favourite

God I wish someone can make a movie based on all these stories

Get the popcorn sit back and watch all the episodes in this volume of Strange stories. What is your favorite story and why?

Battlefield V would have gotten better sales if they included soldiers like MadJack

Which team will you choose? Yung: Yes

As a polish, I'm so proud of wojtek. Thats why I have him almost everywhere as my profile picture.

i am a soldier my self in the sas and to see someone actually researching and trying to teach others means alot to me

I think my favorite story is the attack of the dead men because I think it is cool that they were able to recapture the place while severely hurt and burned

Commander: Don't you pull those stunts with my planes. Aceman: *does it anyway and loses his legs* Can't help but laugh at that lmao

That Korean soldier was like lauri tourni, just completely involuntarily

Rip Wojtek

Do the Polish-soviet war 1919-1920. Not many people know about this war, even though it would have changed Europe forever if it ended differently

They should make a movie out of Mad Jack

An amazing story is that my great grandpa fought aside with mad jack he was a slovenian partizan and even got a medal of honor because of it

Wow that Korean dude was not only a lucky survivor but a war machine..

Attack Of The Dead Men Is My Favorite

9:21 "Mad Jack Is Alone, And Out Of Ammo" Me: *looking at Mad Jack* *Notices there's a whole lot of Arrow in the back of mad Jack* Me:"WHAT ARE U TALKING ABOUT, YOU HAVE LOT OF ARROW AND A LONGBOW. DON'T SAY YOU'RE OUT OF AMMO WHEN U STILL HAVE ALOT!!"

*gets shot in the neck* officer : what happened? madlad jack : *"bruh the machine gun lol lmfao rofl"*

Superb. Your attention to details ( correct vehicles, vehicle name and aircraft types ) in your animations is impeccable. Add to this your faultless information, and you are a real find. New subscriber.

When you're gunning sown British soldiers on the beach but see a guy playing the bagpipes and running toward you with a sword and bow. What the schnitzel?

WHERE IS THE NOTIFICATION-BATTALION

I encourage people to research the Battle of Castle Itter more thoroughly because it was extremely interesting. There’s even a Sabaton song for it.

It is funny because in class we talked about WWI and then I get home to see this in my notifications

*Douglas Bader tries to escape* germans: try or we'll take your artificial legs Douglas : aight imma head inside

How would they have ammo for such a long time after going on a spree 8 years later after the war .

I need more food for this one

Gotta be that Scottish guy with that longbow He is badass

Could you do a video on the Korean war.

Mad Jack’s heroics are actually totally understated in this video and half of the most incredible details of his story are not even in the story. That’s how crazy or “mad” his story is.

I really enjoy watching all of the simple history videos thanks

Douglas Bader was a true English war hero, I remember hearing of his amazing escapades from my granddad. Legendary!!!

"liberated vegetables". Hahaha okay he liberated Europe but let's not pretend he didn't just steal the vegetables!

Best you tube channel ever

Remember guys this mission requires stealth. (Mad Jack stars blowing a bagpipe like a crazy man) DAMM IT MAD JACK

Before I began my repelling course, my staff sergeant told us *"You are all forbidden to get injured. Anyone caught doing so, will be disciplined"* Good times

Do the Korean war pleas

Please do one on the resistance in Germany after WW2

Imagine being respected so much by your enemy that the enemy asked their enemy for something to help you.

Love n respect to the soldier who refused to die. from the land of Gorkha soldiers. .. ... you always alive hero.

Thats the most loyal person I’ve ever seen in my life, the first story and Mad Jack needs his own movie!

5:08 Respect true japan soldier "Survive and keep fighting is always better, than die suicide for honnor" - Hiro Onoda

ALL of these were cool

My grandfather told me the story about the Japanese soldier. He told me he stole rice from his plantation and he tried to scare him away but didn’t work.

From a former USMC 0351 This guy is true soldier. Hands down. The fact he still had his uniform on blows my mind.

It just makes me so happy with a smile that people still remember Wojtek (voy-tek) they still teach kids that are in polish schools about him or as a reminder of him

“Surviving off vegetables he “liberated”

Imagine being a German who died by a flying sharp stick

10:07 Let me just liberate you wallet.

10:08 The narrator sounded surprised when he said liberated

There was a American that fought with the Russians after he was liberated from a pow camp by the Russians

Bear soldier how can a bear understand soldiers strange

R. I. P. Mad Jack and the smoking bear hanging out in heaven.

video on the Continuation War in 1941-1944 please

I love how the channel portrays mad jack saying German machine gun casually. Literally as real as it gets "yes guys when you walk around with a sword and bow you tend to be the one at a disadvantage"

11:13 im a axis soldier who is on the front against a dozen scots in skirts grinning like mad men, the leader weilding a long sword with a bow on his back playing the pipes, i can picture that much, however my reaction is conpletly alien, would i laugh?, would i think this man is truely mad? Is he even really there? Would i go mad and turn my gun on myself? All ik, im never taking a chance again with a grinning armed man playing music advancing towards me...

I’m on a bender from this channel thank you for a fun weekend sir! Hats off to ya

1st and 2nd World War

Surviving on vegetables that he had liberated from local gardens 😂

The Wojtek story really took my heart!.. Can you imagine visiting the Wojtek in the Zoo telling your children, that bear had my back all the way in ww2. That must be the coolest thing you can tell a child..

If i see a BEAR lifting artillery shells to cannons, i would just sit there and accept my death.

The People In The Tank Died, But At least The Radio Man Survived

This is the coolest series ever.😁👍

I love your channel

The Japanese guy from the first story wasn’t very good at gathering intelligence considering he believed the war was still ongoing 30 years later but he was quite good at staying alive so I guess that’s something.

Seriously…..how cool would a bear that was human like be??? Like holy, that’s just unreal
