He also escaped from a concentration camp and walked over 100 miles before being recaptured. A second escape from a camp when the SS forces fled ahead of the allies saw him walk 100 miles to an allied unit.
A longbow (crossbow, bow of any sort) is a terrifying weapon. It makes very little noise and arrows come 'out of nowhere'. Bagpipes. Well, they are terrifying in their own right. What was it that German troops called the Black Watch? Ladies from Hell. Yes Well, something my Dad told me anyway. As to a broadsword - my guess is that he could use it. A lost art.
Celts are the original terrifying warriors. They killed their enemies A LOT. And all over.
We need more 'crazy people' like Jack Churchill. Many, many more.
