The Falklands War: A Soldiers Story | NEW FEATURE DOC

I have watched many documentaries about the conflict and this has to be one of the best as it is clear, impartial and concise. I know many men of the class of 82 and they all have my respect. The Falklands Conflict was one of the reasons that I joined up, all of my instructors at CTCRM had served down South.

One of my earliest memories I was 4 and a half. My grandad followed it closely as he had been a ww2 Royal marines commando and I remember that a few months later we bought him a tape of the band of HM Royal marines. I think it rekindled his unit pride. He was a really lovely bloke my grandad cookman.

Brave men. Thank you for your service. RIP to those who never made it home and those who struggled mentally and physically afterwards.

It's a sad fact that the Scots Guards never received the same recognition as the Paras & the Royal Marines, they did an exceptional job when all things are considered, as did the aforementioned. They certainly made this Scotsman proud as did all the gallant fighting men in the task force.

Fantastically produced documentary. Nice to see that someone on the opposing side, also gave their story. RIP to all those who fought, & thank you to our men for their service 🙏

Having watched numerous documentaries about the war you've done really well to put an original twist on this one

The fact that the Argentinians genuinely thought it was a good idea to start a war with Britain will always confuse me

a great modern doc of the conflict, thanks again history hit!

I may be wrong but didn’t Great Britain claim the Falkland island before Argentina was actually a country….if so that kind of end that conversation on sovereignty…..

great documentary - i love that you took the view of both sides, with actual interviews of survivors. thank you sir!

Being 8 years old at the time i don´t really remember if the people here in germany did care or not, but what i do remember is the opinion of my parents, which where heavily anglophile from literature to furniture, visiting friends in the UK pretty often. Our family had a weekly ritual to visit an argentine steakhouse and that ritual ended the day Argentina invaded the Falklands. It took my parents a year or someething to go back there and when they had to it was an invitation they could not refuse. My dad protested, my mum said they had to, she won the argument (as usual) so he decided to wear a tie clip with a little poppy and even engraved a little 255 on it himself to remember the fallen british soldiers. Nobody realised i guess, but that´s exactly who he was.

A superb documentary. Thank you for another great piece of content.

Did a tour about 94 based at Mount Pleasant. Port Stanley had a lovely Pub/Cafe we went to when we could get transport but you had to take sleeping bags for the return trip. Loved the people there.

Such a long time ago now, but I still have memories clear as yesterday.

Brilliant just brilliant ta!✌️ The lads had prevailed before even setting foot ashore.✌️

Amazing post, thank you

Omg! What an incredible episode! Thank You! So much. Fantastic info here.

Thank you HH. Always interesting.

A friend of mine who served in The Falklands with 2 Para was very scathing of the bombing of the runway in Stanley. He insisted that although it was hit by a bomb, the RAF did not put it out of action, and the Argentines were able to carry on using it.

An excellent, informative and accurate summary of events. Well done. A first class production. 👍
