The 12th Man
A cracking WW2 movie on Netflix. True history of a Norwegian spy, Jan Baalsrud and his survival story in Nazi occupied northern Norway. Stirring stuff - would have been honoured to meet the hero. Disappointed to see that after the war, all he got from us Brits was an OBE. Also, the folks that aided him were heroes themselves. Enjoy.

I will never complain about the cold again after watching this.

Yes, watched it the other night, If you want another true story that is a cracker, watch 12 Strong.

Is it just me or has this forum become a bit of a catch all.
How on Earth does this even relate to Military Aviation? |
I thought he was talking about Richie Benaud |

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt3922798/ https://www.irishtimes.com/news/irel...-him-1.3273241 In 1961, the UN sends an Irish peacekeeper troop commanded by Commandant Pat Quinlan to Katanga, in Congo, to protect the inhabitants of the mining town of Jadotville in the beginning of a civil war. Meanwhile the UN advisor Dr. Conor Cruise O'Brien launches a military attack named Operation Morthor against the French and Belgian mercenaries. Soon there is a reprisal from the mercenaries and Quinlan and his men are left under siege by a huge number of Katangese and mercenary troops. |
