In September 1944 at the Battle of Arnhem, Major Cain won what was described as the “finest Victoria Cross of the whole war”. Telling his story, along with other personal accounts of staggering bravery, Jeremy Clarkson looks at the history of the highest military decoration awarded for valour in the face of the enemy.
The Greatest Raid of All Time
Jeremy Clarkson tells the story of one of the most daring operations of World War II – the Commando raid on the German occupied dry dock at St. Nazaire in France on 28th March 1942. It was an operation so heroic that it resulted in the award of five Victoria Crosses and 80 other decorations for gallantry.

Can you please get the publishing rights for his other documentary, about Convoy PQ-17!
It's phenomenal and such a tragic shame that the only place you can currently find it is on dailymotion! It deserves to be seen my all on this platform
he realy is a good story teller
Whenever I stay at the 'Union Jack Club' in London, I am always humbled and in awe at the wooden panels that list all the Victoria Cross recipients.
"The world's highest award for valor"? What, they give away the Congressional Medal of Honor to shirkers and lackies? Like to see any other that's decorated his chest like Audie Murphy. The "highest"? What's that mean: bravest, hardest to get by ratio of those who served? Worn above the others on the shirt? What a slam on Medal of Honor winners. No article I've retrieved suggests the VC is "above" the Medal of Honor: except yours.
You say 1,500 out of tens of millions: the MO 3,500 out of 45 million. So is the VC harder to get? or are Americans braver? Prove it before you state a "fact".
SAY NO TO YOUTUBE CENSORING COMBAT FOOTAGE!!!!
DICTATORIAL CENSORSHIP WILL NOT BE TOLERATED
Love Clarkson's war stories.
I wish someone was able to put up the PQ17 documentary he did
I'm not a fan of Clarkson, but his narration of these real life stories is excellent. Enough about him, it is the Tommies that deserve all the admiration in this episode. Proper people.
Edit: in case anyone thinks I'm a "Nigel" fan, I include the Ghukas, the Polish pilots, the Canadians, the Indians, and the Aussies as Tommies.
I tried to watch this, but Clarkson's delivery is so annoying that I gave up. Was there a time when he wasn't the world's most irritating wanker?
Very similar to the Congressional Medal of Honor here in the United States. That was created during the American Civil War. Often it is awarded postumouly. That is awarded for valor in a sense. Never for taking lives but chiefly for saving lives. It's a medal no American soldier wants because most likely you are dead. I'm a veteran and I have lost many friends and family members. Some died in action. Some died from Agent Orange later on. My grandfather was 3rd Wave Omaha Beach. He drank heavily when he got home. My uncle lost his leg and life in 1995 from wounds he got in Nam in 1968. I go to the VA and sometimes I wish I didn't see so much. Sad how men kill each other year after year…. century after century. Sad. The beat goes on.
Clarkson's a twot
