This hardcore Scot is Tommy Macpherson aka the “Kilted Killer” and his list of no fucks is pretty epic - Served as an officer in the No.11 Scottish Commandoes in WW2
- In 1941, during a daring four man raid to capture Erwin Rommel in North Africa, he was captured by the enemy. - In a span of 2 years, he escaped a total of 7 times till finally making it back to the UK.
- Days after his return, he was ordered by Winston Churchill himself to “Set Europe ablaze”
- He parachuted behind enemy in lines in France and began a long campaign of destruction alongside the French resistance. - Virtually every single night, he would either kill Germans or destroy their supplies and communications.
- On one occasion when a German staff car was approaching a level crossing Macpherson booby-trapped the barrier arm so it crashed down on the vehicle, decapitating the local commandant and his driver
- He single handedly captured 23,000 men and 1,000 vehicles in one night by simply convincing a German General that he was in command of the Allied forces in the area.
- As a touch of class, he would ride around the enemy country side in a black French car with a British flag attached to it. The Germans placed a 300,000 franc bounty on his head
- He then went to Italy and pretty much did all of the above again. - Wounded numerous times and awarded the Military Cross for his actions
- One of the most decorated soldier in history
- He passed away at the age of 94 (Nov.6.2014)
Side note: He did all of the above wearing the full Highlander battledress..including the kilt. #stayzero #zerofoxtrot #awesome #ww2 #heroeswearkilts
