The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare: History vs. Hollywood Episode
In this episode, we compare the Guy
Ritchie WW2 movie
The Ministry of
Ungentlemanly Warfare to the real
Operation Postmaster, a British special
ops mission carried out during World War 2
that found a group of commandos attempting
to steal three Axis-friendly ships from an
island off the coast of West Africa. Led
by Major Gus March-Phillips (Henry
Cavill), the team takes on scores of Nazis
in the movie, but how much of this
over-the-top tale is historically
accurate? In answering this question, we
introduce you to the real-life operators
who inspired the characters, including
Anders Lassen (portrayed by Alan
Ritchson), Geoffrey Appleyard (played by
Alex Pettyfer), Graham Hayes (Hero Fiennes
Tiffin), Marjorie Stewart (Eiza Gonzalez),
and Colin 'M' Gubbins (Cary Elwes).
