Untold War Stories

🧵 1/7 This dog flew 30 combat missions over Nazi Germany. Was wounded by shrapnel over enemy territory. Saved the lives of an entire squadron. This is the story of Antis the German Shepherd.

@DGray118 That is awesome, I'd love to see a picture!

@UntoldWarFacts We donated a statuette of Wojtek, bought at the “Upside Down” house in Kashubia to Oban’s War & Peace museum. (Fiancée is Polish, and her great uncle settled in Oban post-WW2.)

🧵 1/7 Polish soldiers adopted a bear cub in 1943. Two years later he was carrying ammunition crates through one of the bloodiest battles of WW2. This is the story of Corporal Wojtek the bear.

@johnstonglenn Guess I know what I’m watching tonight, thank you 🙏🏼

@UntoldWarFacts This film is based on his story youtu.be/FvFk6i8YQtc

🧵 1/7 One of the most lethal pilots in the Battle of Britain was not British. He was a Czech refugee, in a polish squadron. 17 kills in 28 days. This is the story of Josef Frantisek.

@longo213 Thank you for the extra information, I appreciate that!

@UntoldWarFacts There are many reasons why Josef Frantisek preferred Poles before Czechs, mainly because of some incompetent officers. However hr may have fought in Battle of France too. Interesting reading here fcafa.com/2010/07/24/jos…

@JanHynek3 🇨🇿 🤝

@UntoldWarFacts I'm Czech too, and I'm very proud of him. And very grateful to you, thank you, sir...

@Whitenight82263 Hey buddy, thank you for this I’m gonna do a deep dive and will deffo be tagging you if I craft a story up.

@UntoldWarFacts Take a look at this truly remarkable soldier please, he lived in the same road as my great grandfather and Grandfather, live around the corner now. The great Arthur Evan’s VC. Total legend. I put that cross there every Remembrance Sunday as a mark of respect.

🧵 1/7 In 1942 a Japanese pilot took a bullet through the head at 13,000 feet. What he did next is one of the most extraordinary things any pilot ever did.

@Orabidoo2 I believe not 😅

@UntoldWarFacts Let me guess He didn't run for President

@Rysiek1845917 Indeed an incredible man.

@UntoldWarFacts Czytałem o historii lotu tego lotnika. Dzielny człowiek i as lotnictwa.

@HiddenHistoryYT Really enjoyable thread, thank you.

🧵89 years ago today, 13 April 1937, the Royal Navy launched a ship that would become one of the most famous aircraft carriers in history. The Germans would claim to have sunk her THREE times before they actually did. This is the story of HMS Ark Royal 👇

@sdwallys @HistoryWJacob THE LEGEND 🇺🇸

His army was beaten. His men were demoralized. Then the enemy general's dog was found on the battlefield. What Washington did next showed why he was exceptional: 🧵1/5

@Wilkowyr Interesting, thanks for your input! 🤝

@UntoldWarFacts He was a true fighter but his record was achievable because he mainly huntedGerman airplanes which were coming back after attacks. It means they had little fuel to spare. It means that they could not maneuver which made them easy targets.Still glory to this man who had his demons

@xTF9ogEJOiztbTN Crazy, what a legend. 🇨🇿

@UntoldWarFacts Unbelievable 28days.

@Towerz_App Legend 🇨🇿

@UntoldWarFacts Czech hero ✈️

@vojtech_miler I remember a few years back when I first researched into the story, I was shocked on how they got treated afterwards.

@UntoldWarFacts I am ashamed of what the communist government in Czechoslovakia did to them after the war. Because these people gave us our freedom, and those red leeches repaid them with labor camps and gallows.

@MilaVomo 🫡

@UntoldWarFacts 👍👍👍

@Heroesdeguerra That's brilliant, thank you for that input. Do you have any photos, I would love to see! Thanks again.
