Ted Briggs IWM Interview

Post by paulcadogan »

3 parts, about 1/2 hour each. Goes way beyond the snippets we has seen and heard in documentaries.....from he first saw the Hood as a boy, his joining, the Spearfish Rescue operation, Mers-el-Kebir, Scharnhorst & Gneisenau patrols and of course Bismarck - about 70 % of the interview - then his later story...Sicily, the Korean War...etc.

Like McMullen's interview..for me.......absolutely riveting!

He literally takes you onto Hood's compass platform during the battle.....

RIP Ted....it is wonderful to still hear you in such detail.
