Second part of Mad Jack Churchill series:

WWII (1941-1945)

-Jack Churchill leads a training exercise, longsword in hand, in Inveraray.-

In July 1943, as commanding officer, he led 2 Commando in Sicily with his Scottish broadsword slung around his waist, a longbow and arrows around his neck and his bagpipes under his arm. At the town of Pigoletti, he captured the town by throwing so many bombs that the Italians holding Pigoletti thought they were being attacked by half the British Army. During an action in Salerno, he took 42 POWs only with the help of a corporal. There he lost his sword in a hand-to-hand combat with German troops. In 1944, he was moved to Yugoslavia, and was ordered to raid the German held island of Brač. He organised a "motley army" of 1,500 Partisans, which he leaded to battle with his bagpipes. The next day, without a man left in his unit, Churchill, was wounded while playing on his pipes. Captured by the Germans, was later flown to Berlin for interrogation and then transferred to Sachsenhausen concentration camp, for the German though he had some relation with Winston Churchill. He managed to escape the camp, but was recaptured a few kilometres from the sea. When the SS troops that guarded the second camp fled, Churchill walked 150 kilometres to Verona, Italy. As the Pacific War was still on, Churchill was sent to Burma, but did not see the battlefield, as the war had already ended.
