In this episode, Johnny Vaughan and Gavin “The Woodman” Woods go full tilt into the unbelievable wartime adventures of “Mad” Jack Churchill, the British officer who stormed World War II battlefields armed with a longbow, broadsword, and bagpipes. From leading commandos with medieval weapons to escaping Nazi captivity (twice), his story is one of the most eccentric and fearless in military history.
