[..YouTube..] My grandmother fought with the resistance at WW2 here in Greece. He told me a story about a NZ soldier that i though it was nice to be written in this Video.When the Stukas were hammering the Partizans-NZ forces almost all hide into houses or trees,only one NZ run into an open spot and climb on a vehicle and opened fire with his Bren to the bombers.A stuka start diving to bomb the vehicle and himself.All of em shouting to him to run but he was just shooting at that Stuka. He shoot it down…

[..YouTube..] im sorry but the shot sounds like an explosion
[..YouTube..] i thought I heard Hitler getting blown up.
[..YouTube..] Just read the book about Crete by anthony beevor. People should know that the kiwis took the brunt of the stupidity in that fight, and did the best. Particularly the maoris. But out of ~2000 dead, half were new zealanders. Why? Cause they fought even when no one told them to. The officers failed in Crete, but the soldiers didn’t. In the end, it was individuals who proved themselves, not ideas. Sad waste of human life, that fight.
[..YouTube..] @ozoomiy Thanks for your recognition my friend,but actually Greece was totally alone for 219 days,when the Commonwealth took the decision to send support was too late..Battle of Crete last one more month with Britain,Australia,New Zealand and the civilians of Crete defending the island..Greece was the first country who conquer axis land in Albania..God bless the Heroes..merry christmas
[..YouTube..] Hmm.. incorrect uniforms(for the fallschirmjagers) but otherwise great film.. on a side note, that was some serious assholery he pulled off to the mg team :P
[..YouTube..] where is part 2
[..YouTube..] I read a book written by a German paratrooper who survived the war and fought British, Russians, Americans, Aussies and Kiwis……….he thought the Kiwis were the finest soldiers in the world
[..YouTube..] The Regimental March of the British Parachute Regiment, who provide most of the troops for the SAS. Google ‘Parachute 2 Club’ for 2 PARA photo archive.
