Jeremy Clarkson War Stories

Jeremy Clarkson War Stories


Jeremy Clarkson War Stories pits through Top Gear veteran, Jeremy Clarkson, into storytelling about two remarkable stories from the grueling World War II. Both of these two documentaries are educative, informative, and surely one of the best that you'll never ever find these on history books, well almost because most of them are from your history books.

The first one is The Victoria Cross: For Valour. In September 17, 1944, the Allies are advancing through German enemies by dropping from the sky by parachute or glider up to 150 km behind enemy lines. Their mission is to protect the bridge across the rivers in Holland so that the Allied army could advance rapidly northwards and turn right into the lowlands of Germany.

Sadly, the operation named Operation Market Garden wasn't quite getting better. The bridge at Arnhem proved to be 'a bridge too far'. After 10 days of bitter fighting the operation ended with the evacuation of the remainder of the 1st British Airborne Division from the Arnhem area.

On that documentary, Jeremy Clarkson tells the story about the highest military decoration awarded for valour; the Victoria Cross. It even told about who are the honorable soldiers who achieved their Victoria Cross and what is the future of the Victoria Cross.

The next documentary is called The Greatest Raid of All. The St Nazaire Raid or Operation Chariot is one the most successful British amphibious attack on the heavily defended Normandie dry dock at St Nazaire in German-occupied France during the Second World War. This operation is known to be THE GREATEST RAID OF ALL. Jeremy Clarkson took us for a wild ride about Operation Chariot, the introduction of the commandos, and how did this operation became successful.

Both these war stories are remarkable, and quite a thrill for those who want to learn more about Britain in the brink of the Second World War. The honor among British troops is what made these stories very remarkable in the eyes of many historians. As for me, I love to watch these two stories over and over again thanks to Jeremy Clarkson's storytelling.
