My great uncle Harry was on this raid, he was a sgt, he got badly shot up getting some of his men who were pinned down to safety he lost a lung. Was awarded the Military cross.

In British vernacular "egg-head" is someone intelligent and a specialist, with connotations of "nerdy". So someone who would indeed "know his stuff".

A survivor of this years 80th anniversary of D-Day said “ Me, a hero? No, the real heroes are still over there, they never came home “. So true.

1:01:20 You really won't hear anything more British than that.
You are tired and exhausted. Then you are told that you are going to be shot. Your response? "Please, don't shout. Just get on with it". 🙂

Jeremy Clarkson is such a good storyteller and the BBC were foolish to not get him to make more programmes like this.

He who dares wins, is the motto of the SAS.

"Just before the Campbeltown exploded, Sam Beattie was being interrogated by a German Naval Officer who was saying it wouldn't take very long to repair the damage to the dry dock gate and they needed to do more than ram it with a clapped out destroyer. Just at that moment, she went up. Beattie smiled and said "we're not quite as foolish as you think!" truly inspiring, It just exemplified the bravery and sheer tenacity and bloody mindedness of these incredible fighting men.

Clarkson proving again that he can be a damn good presenter when he puts his mind to it 👍

As a Brit officer would say "Well done those men". This Aussie can only concur, with respect.

The memorial at the end says:

Dedicated to the memory of
their comrades by
The St Nazaire Society

Egghead means highly intelligent, aka boffin.

@chrisnoonan9486 2 years ago

Being called an Egghead is not a slur but a complement as it is another word for genius.

Tirpitz was the sister ship to the Bismarck. and looked almost identical.

Bill Gibson's letter is heartbreaking it should be read to every kid.

@ashleywetherall 2 years ago

I think Clarkson should be doing more of these types of programmes. He did a great programme on the VC awards.

British understatement is a thing. " ...the task may require a degree of audacity.."

RiP to them all, they're all gone now and laid to rest. The last person alive from this raid died a few years ago just a mile from my home in Wolverhampton. Thank you to all veterans and all active service members that fight for our country.

Tirpitz was a sister ship to Bismarck. Micky Burn had pro Nazi sympathies well before even they had any notion of the Holocaust, and well before he joined the Commandos. The Commandos (along with the Paras) became Britain's strategically mobile light infantry assault troops. They achieved miracles in the Falklands.

In the UK, “egg-head” refers to intelligence. If someone is particularly smart, academically bright, general knowledge, high IQ etc etc etc., they’re referred to as an ‘egg-head’.
