ITT: Absolute madmen of history.
>"Mad" Jack Churchill
>Stormed normandy beaches with a sword
>Killed a German NCO in France with a Longbow and arrow
>Quoted to say "Any Officer who goes into Action without his sword is improperly dressed."
Other reports of based Jack include:
>Sneaking up on German Sentries, shouting "Haende Hoch" resulting him them surrendering. One was returned to camp, while Jack wrapped his belt around the others throat and dragged him along on the rest of his rounds.
>Jack was taken prisoner and taken to Berlin for questioning, and wound up in Sachsenhausen Concentration Camp
>The power went out one night, and he managed to escape with a rusty can and some onions
>He then made his way south, alone, until he encountered some US tanks who he greeted with a salute, having just walked 150 miles alone living off vegetables he nicked from the krauts
>With the war in Europe coming to a close, he asked to be deployed in Japan because "There are still the Nips, aren’t there?"
>Lived to 1996, last notable moment was tossing his suitcase out of a moving train
>When asked why, he said he chucked it into his back yard because he couldn't be bothered carrying it home from the station
Will there ever be a man as based as him?

The man was incredibly lucky, but extremely formidable and an invaluable asset to his men.
>When he was captured, it was due to a mortar shell killing every single man in his squad except for him
>He walked alone back to an occupied town in order to retrieve his sword, which he lost during hand to hand combat with Germans. He encountered a US squad mistakenly walking toward enemy lines. When they refused to turn around, Jack marched on saying "I'm not coming back for a bloody third time"
>His escape from the concentration camp was his second escape, after he and an RAF Officer escaped through a drain pipe from earlier imprisonment. He was captured near Rostock, when he was taken back into captivity
>Lead an army of 1500 Partisans, 43 commando and one troop from 40 commando in Yugoslavia, using them to attack the island of Brac. Jack's Bagpipes signalled the attack
>Eventually retired and became a veteran surfer in Australia while working as in instructer at the land-air warfare school

I watched a thing on netflix about the British commandos in WW2 the other vets said he was a absolute madman but he was good at what he did.
During a raid into Norway their boats came under fire so Jack laid on the bagpipes as the germans fired mgs on their little boats.
Jack Churchill is just too based
