What an amazing, amazing, amazing time in the history of mankind it was during WWII. Seems like every nook and cranny of the world was touched in some manner or another.
It’s almost an hour long but for one reason or maybe many reasons this particular story touched me on a number of levels.
The headhunters are some of the coolest cats I’ve read about in a really long time. Blowpipes and machetes with incredible stealth goes apparently a long ass ways:cool:
TRIDENT82, Man, that was one of the most amazing true stories of modern warfare that I’ve heard or seen. Thanks so much for the link. An example of low tech versus high tech of that era. Again local knowledge, mindset, and tactics overcome a “superior force”. Kudos to the tribes who did so much with so little and at great risk to themselves.
My pleasure and I agree that the story is just rich as hell. Eqaully as important for posting though for myself was the fact that in terms of documentary film work…this little episode is as good as it gets.
I’m glad to hear that at least one other person took the chance on wasting an hr. which I do understand is a lot of time in the world we find ourselves living in.
I took the hour. It was very interesting and well worth the time. I kind of think I have read about this before or seen something on it. It sounded vaguely familiar. My 9 year old son came in and watched about 1/2 of it with me.
Glad you guys liked it…recommending somebody to invest an hour is a risky proposition:)
I can’t believe that this hasn’t made it to Hollywood in order for them to botch up a studio film surrounding it.
Harrison deserves to be remembered by history, what an amazingly brilliant mind. We can see modern day special forces tactics in everything he did back then.
