The Unbelievable Life Of The Soldier Who Couldn't Be Killed

hey 42 here in 2006 Mexican beer brand dosis launched an ad campaign starring Jonathan Goldsmith as the so-called most interesting man in the world the campaign was a huge success almost single-handedly transforming dosis into one of the most popular imported beers in the US and inspiring countless internet memes that are still popular even today almost 20 years later Goldsmith claims to have based a character he played for almost 10 years on his friend Fernando mass as a world famous actor and director who spent his spare time marrying Hollywood starlets and sailing around the world in

a private yacht lass was indeed a pretty interesting guy but compared to the subject of today's video his life was about as exciting as sitting on the sofa in your pants watching reruns of Gardener's world the person we're covering today lived a life so utterly spectacularly mind-bogglingly incredible that it's hard to believe it really happened now that might sound like a bit of classic YouTube hyperbole but seriously if anything I'm underselling it during his 83 years on God's green earth this man was shot no fewer than seven times losing an eye and a hand in

the process he survived four plane crashes amputated two of his own fingers tunneled out of a high security Italian prison and publicly insulted one of the world's deadliest dictators at a dinner party and live to tell a tale he also spoke four languages excelled in a variety of sports married two women with a combined 14 names and was awarded the Victoria Cross oh and he may well have been the illegitimate son of the king of Belgium intrigued you should be because this is the story of the soldier who couldn't be killed the Aristocrat who Charmed

though rumors at the time of his birth suggested Adrien may actually have been the illegitimate son of King Leopold II of Belgium whether or not he really was every fantasy author's favorite kind of character a royal bastard we'll likely never know but the very fact it was even suggested gives you a pretty good idea of the kind of circles his family moved in as does the fact that his first cousin Henry would become the Prime Minister of Belgium in 1920 the DS moved around a lot during Adrian's childhood eventually settling in Egypt where his father

practiced law at the age of 11 Adrien was shipped after boarding school in Southern England but he was never a great student it wasn't so much that he didn't have the brains more that he simply wasn't interested in Academia he loved the Great Outdoors and anything remotely resembling physical exercise and so instead of studying he focused his efforts on various sporting activities captaining both the cricket and football teams and winning individual Awards in tennis squash and billiards in most schools such sporting Excellence would have made guaranteed status as one of the cool kids but that

wasn't the case for Adrian despite his a Flawless English he was still very much a foreigner in an English boarding school which is about the most English Place imaginable some things like the rules of a soggy biscuit just can't be understood by Outsiders still Adrien made it through school unscathed and despite his unimpressive academic achievements his connection saw him ultimately go on to study law at Oxford but not even studying at one of the most prestigious universities in the world could convince him to stay indoors and read books spending the vast majority of his time

either playing sports or getting drunk his academic performance nose dived and after failing his endof year exams in his first year he was already looking for a way out that way out presented itself in 1899 with the outbreak of the second B War like many young men before him Adrian had always been fascinated with a a kind of romanticized version of the armed services and he quickly resolved to drop out of University and enlist there was however one small problem with that plan actually there were three one his father wanted him to become a lawyer

and would never sanction such a drastic career change two he wasn't old enough to enlist and three fighting in the British army was going to be somewhat tricky in light of the fact that he wasn't actually British in the end he overcame all of these obstacles by simply signing up in secret under a false slightly older and significantly more British identity before the year was out Trooper carton as he called himself was on his way to South Africa to fight nobody knew it at the time but one of the most remarkable military careers in history

had just begun for all that he would go on to achieve over the following 40 years or so Adrian's first taste of service was actually a little underwhelming mostly involving months of training and very little action and when a serious Skirmish finally arrived it was both brief and painful during a routine Patrol Adrian's Unit were fired upon by B Sharpshooters he took two bullets one in the groin and another in the stomach being shot is inconvenient at the best of times but for Adrien it was an absolute catastrophe because the severity of his wounds meant

he was s sent back to England immediately to convalesce not only did that mean his first taste of war was over before it had really begun it also meant that his parents found out that rather than studying glore in the Cozy confines of Oxford University their precious little son had been secretly fighting in a war 6,000 mes away but Adrian's brief soldierly stint had taught him something extremely important about Warfare he absolutely bloody loved it after a long stay in a luxurious Hospital on Park Lane in London that would become very familiar to him in

the coming decades he visited his father in Cairo to beg for permission to become a soldier fulltime after much deliberation his father agreed and the rest is history the second B war came to a close in 1902 at which point Adrien was transferred to India but when he arrived he was bitterly disappointed by a distinct lack of enemies to fight he did see some limited action but most of his time is spent playing various Sports especially Pig sticking in case you aren't familiar with the noble sport of pig sticking it's an extremely complex and Technical

sport in which players stick Spears into pigs yeah that's not great is it after India agan returned to Britain and with pitifully few Wars to get involved in at the time he took the opportunity to get a bit of Life admin done in 1907 he formally became a British citizen by swearing the oath of allegiance to Edward iith and the following year he got married to Countess Frederica Maria Carolina Henrietta Rosa Sabina francisa fugon baben Housen despite having a name that reads like a lyric from Mambo Number Five KZ feder was apparently just one person

and the two were married in 1908 by the way one of those frankly ridiculous ulous number of names fuger might be familiar to you the house of fuger is a German banking Dynasty that dominated European business in the 15th and 16th centuries one of its many famous sons was Jacob fuger considered by some historians to have been the richest man who ever lived in other words Adrian cartanda we are may have shunned his aristocratic roots to become a soldier but in marrying auga he proved that he still moved in influential circles I don't know some

mother fugas get all the look Adrien was either completely unromantic or intensely private in later life he wrote an autobiography and neither of the two women he ultimately married even gets a name check maybe he was worried about exceeding his word count with all of those names despite his status as a newly wed Adrian had zero intention of settling down into a nice quiet Family Life instead spending the majority of his time playing Polo and traveling around the various great houses of Europe where he hunted fished and dined with local nobility but this life of

leisure came to an abrupt end in 1914 when he received some rather bad news the economy in Egypt had taken a hit and his father had gone bankrupt up until this point Adrien had essentially being a kind of Edwardian era trust fund kid living off of the family fortune he'd become a soldier not to make some fast cash but for the simple reason that he loved it but with the Magic Money Tree no longer producing its fat green leaves soldiering suddenly represented the only way he had of putting food on the table and so he

sold off most of his possessions grabbed the nearest newspaper and set about trying to find himself a water fight in the pickings were slim as far as major conflicts went but early 20th century Britain could always be relied on to be at war with at least someone sure enough the Brits were engaged in a minor campaign against the dervishes in far-flung British Somali land now part of modern day Somalia so Adria naturally signed up immediately he joined up with the Somalia land camel Corp an elite units of camel based Cavalry to fight the dervish leader

a man rather ominously known as The Mad Muller on paper the chance to ride a few camels and get shot at a bit should have been perfect for our man Adrien but on his way to Africa he received even more terrible news Britain had declared war on Germany now when I say that this was terrible news I don't mean that Adrian was devastated to hear of the outbreak of the first world war no he was just absolutely gutted for the simple reason that he was already on his way to somal land and he wasn't going

to be a part of it in his own words he felt like he was playing in a village cricket match instead of a test and if that little analogy doesn't prove that he was about as British as Crumpet by this point that nothing will still with little of a choice he continued on to East Africa and in what was to become his trademark style he was soon in the thick of the fighting unfortunately in what was also soon to become his trademark style it wasn't too long before he got shot it happened during a raid

on a dervish encampment near Mount shimbiris the dervishes were held up in a fort and unsurprisingly it was Adrien who led the British charge against it somehow he made it all the way up to the entrance without being hit but just as he was about to dive inside he was shot twice in the face now I've never read Gray's Anatomy but I'm pretty sure that the human head contains some fairly important equipment and being shot in it is typically an effective way to make yourself very dead but miraculously Adrien survived however his injuries were devastating

one bullet had torn through his ear and the other had lodged itself behind his eye the year one wasn't such an issue and it was soon patched up but the eye was a different story Adrien was sent to Egypt where local doctors informed him that it would need to be removed but he refused you might assume he resisted the operation because he thought that his eye could be saved or perhaps he was afraid his career would be over if he allowed the operation to go ahead but no that wasn't it his reasons were more batshit

in say you see he'd realized that if he refused the operation he would be sent back to England and if he was sent back to England he'd have half a chance of getting involved where the real fighting was happening the battlefields of the first world war the plan Bonkers though it was worked perfectly asan was put on a ship back to England and soon afterwards he found himself in the very same Park Lane hospital where he'd been treated during the second B War but the doctors there had exactly the same opinion as the ones in

Egypt the eye was going to have to come out fast this time Adrien agreed for 99.9999999% of human beings this would be where the story ends you don't need to be Rambo's optometrist to know that fully functioning guys are a fairly important asset for a soldier but Adrien carton we are wasn't most human beings in fact I'm not convinced he was human at all because just 4 weeks after having his left eye plucked out with the medical equivalent of an ice cream scoop he rocked up at the evaluation board requesting permission to be sent to

the front lines in France at first the board flatly refused but Adrien was prepared to get down on his knees and beg if he had to and eventually the board gave in on one condition that he have a glass eye fitted Adrian agreed immediately and soon enough he was passed fit for service The Glass Eye didn't last long though rumor has it he threw it out of the window of his taxi home after meeting the medical board he would never wear a glass eye again instead favoring an eye patch that gave him the look of

a military pirate in February 1915 just over a month after having his eye removed Adrien arrived in France at the so-called Western Front where he quickly discovered that contrary to popular belief things weren't very quiet at all in fact over the following 3 years he would be involved in many of the biggest and bloodiest battles in human history including the battles of the Som passendale Cambra Aras and the Second Battle of eer you probably won't be surprised to hear that during these various scraps Adrien took more than a few bullets and suffered multiple devastating injuries

he was shot for the skull and Ankle at the su he took a bullet to the hip at passendale another in the ankle at cambre and one through the ear at Aras after almost all of these injuries Adrien found himself back in the hospital on Park Lane that was fast becoming something of a second home to him by the end of the first world war staff at the hospital had begun keeping a room reserved for him on the top floor even going as far as to have a set of monogrammed silk pajamas made for him

bad as these various wounds were the worst injury he suffered in the first world war was actually the first in the summer of 1915 during the Second Battle of EA he was shot through the hand the bullet tore through his palm leaving two fingers Hanging On by a few scraps of Flesh when field doctors refused to remove the dangling digits Adrien took matters into his own hands literally and tore the fingers off himself he would spend most of the rest of 1915 in the hospital at Park Lane where doctors carried out a series of operations

with hopes of saving the hand but ultimately it was all in vain and the hand was amputated in December being the absolute nut job that he was Adrien refused to go under general anesthetic staying awake throughout the entire operation breathing nitrous oxide otherwise known as Laughing Gas I should probably point out that when he was wasn't doing his best Terminator impression Adrien Kon the we are was actually a pretty remarkable Soldier before the first world war was over he'd been promoted to Major and had become something of a living legend famed throughout the Armed Forces

for his remarkable bravery and unwavering enthusiasm to put himself in the thick of the fighting whenever he got the chance for most people the end of the first world war was a blessed relief but Adrien was genu genuinely disappointed to have to go home I think he said it best in what is probably his most famous quote when summing up the conflict during which he lost his hand and was shot five times all he had to say was this frankly I enjoyed the war like I said the man wasn't human the interwar years involved fewer

bullets but in many ways they were no less eventful than the war Tor ones now I've said it before and I'll say it again everyone in the past seems to have known each other and Adrien added some more evidence to that theory by bumping into his fair share of important historical figures over the years after the war ended he was tasked with leading the British military mission to Poland a diplomatic program set up to help the newly formed second polish Republic fight after the combined post-war threats of the Soviets the ukrainians the lithuanians and the

Czechs during that time he worked closely with a Catholic called ail ratti that name might not be familiar to you but the one he adopted 3 years later probably will be Pope Pas VI 11th Adrian's time in Poland was split between diplomatic and Frontline duties but nevertheless he still managed to have his fair share of mishaps and being the man he was those mishaps almost invariably involve some kind of mortal Peril he survived a plane crash fought off an attack on a supply train from a Soviet cavalry Force got locked up in a Lithuanian prison

and he got himself involved in at least one Jewel though admittedly he was only the second of one of the Duelists incidentally his opposite number the other second turned out to be a chap called Carl Gustaf Emil manaheim more than 20 years later manaheim would become the sixth president of Finland like I said everyone in the past knew each other the military mission to Poland was wound up in the early 1920s and in 1923 at the age of 43 Adrian decided it was time to wind up his military career in truth he didn't really want

to stop fighting but he fell out with the British war office over his next posting and well that was that during his time leading the military Mission Adrien had fallen in love with his surroundings and rather than moov back to England he instead decided to make a new life for himself in Poland by the time of his retirement he was an extremely senior figure in the Army and befitting his rank he'd had a number of so-called Aid the camps highly qualified officers who were essentially Elite personal assistants one of them was a man named caral

redil who just so happens to be a Polish Prince during his time working under Adrian radzi will inherited a vast estate in the prepit marshes which at the time were in Poland and today span the border of Ukraine and bellarus on hearing that his old boss wanted to settle down in the local area Young Prince ril offered him a handsome house on an island in the middle of the estate when Adrian inquired as to how much to rent on this princely property would be the prince merely laughed there would be no rent the house was

a gift Adrien would go on to live there for the following 15 years during which time he essentially became a fully-fledged Polish nobleman he filled his days with hunting and fishing and spent his nights at Grand feasts and even grander balls in the Polish equivalent of down to happy for an Outdoorsman with a love of guns it was Paradise and had history not intervened Adrian would very likely have spent the rest of his life there but as the 1920s rolled into the 30s a big black cloud was gathering in nearby Germany and that Cloud's name

was Adolf in July 1939 Adrian received a phone call out of the blue from the British war office summoning him back to blighty like James Bond in no time time to Die the grizzled old veteran was being called out of retirement to help face a new threat soon enough he was back in his old job as head of the British military mission in Poland but he wouldn't be there for long just two months later Hitler invaded Poland from the west and two weeks after that the Soviets invaded from the East Adrien only just made it

out alive he pulled everyone from the British military Mission out of the country a few days after the Germans invaded But during the evacuation sff a plane strafe to Convoy killing the wife of one of his men over the following couple of years he served in both Norway and Northern Ireland and despite the fact that he was pushing 60 at this point he still saw plenty of action during a disastrous twoe campaign in Norway he and his men were accidentally left stranded without guns or equipment 80 miles north of tonim where they were soon being

bombarded from the sea bombed from the air and ambushed by ger ski troops on a daily basis despite being vastly outnumbered and hopelessly outgunned Adrian and his men held the position for 2 weeks before eventually being evacuated by the Royal Navy in early 1941 he was sent to Yugoslavia to help the locals save off an imminent Invasion from the rampaging German forces but on the way to take up this new post his aerplane suffered a catastrophic engine failure Crash Landing about a mile and a half off the coast of Libya at the time controlled by

Axis power Italy Adrian was knocked unconscious in the crash and only came to when the chil Waters of the Mediterranean Ocean covered his face being a one-armed oneeyed sexogenarian you'd think crashing a plane a mile from Land would have posed a bit of a problem but despite being eligible for a state issued bus pass Adrien cartanda we was no ordinary pensioner not only did he survive to swim to sh he even managed to help several of his fellow passengers who'd suffered serious injuries in the crash to do the very same unfortunately when the tired crew

finally made it to dry land they were promptly captured and arrested by the Italians I'm going to go out on a limb here and guess that Adrien was the only 60-year-old British Belgian with one hand and one eye in the entire Army at the time so it probably shouldn't come as much of a shock that the Italians soon realized who he was recognizing his importance as a potential bargaining chip with the Allies they sent him back to Italy where he was imprisoned in the imposing vinata Castle a medieval Fortress tued away in the Hills outside

Florence conditions for the prisoners were pretty good they were housed in ordinary rooms rather than prison cells but despite the relative Comfort not to mention his age and fairly serious physical handicaps Asian wasted no time whatsoever in trying to escape in fact during his three-year in tournament at the castle he and several of inmates tried to break out no fewer than five times after every failed attempt the Italians added additional layers of security a new wall around the prisoner's compound extra guards a set of powerful flood lights and finally a bobbed wire fence eventually Adan

realized that escaping over the castle wall was going to be next to Impossible instead he came up with a new plan if he couldn't go over the wall he was just going to have to go on under it Vinci yata Castle only ever housed the most high ranking prisoners of war that meant that there are only around 25 inmates there at any one time but it also meant that those inmates were some of the brightest military mines that the Allies had to offer and the fifth and final Escape Plan they came up with was pure

Brilliance food from the Castle's kitchens was brought up to the prisoners every day by way of a small lift the lift was only ever used at meal times the rest of the day and night it sat un used on the ground floor in that position the prisoners discovered that they were able to drop down the lift shaft on top of the lift and from there they had access to a section of wall that was completely invisible to the guards who needs Rita Hayworth as look would have it this hidden section of wall backed onto a

disused chapel that had been completely sealed off from the outside the perfect place to dig a tunnel only six men Adrian included plans to actually Escape but almost all of the inmates helped out with the plan some chipped in with the digging itself whilst others kept watch ringing a small bell if they saw any guards approaching others still were in charge of distraction tactics for obvious reasons the prisoners had no access to proper tools so most of the digging was done with a couple of broken kitchen knives and a pilfered crowbar the Crowbar in particular

was very loud so the prisoners would make as much noise as possible whenever it was being used they chopped wood made random repairs to things that weren't broken and even chased the Castle's hens around the courtyard to get them clucking once on the outside the escapes were going to need believable looking identity papers one of the prisoners was a bit of a painter and the art-loving Italian Gods happily provided him with all matter of inks and paints which he duly used to make various forg documents of the highest quality the documents were practically indistinguishable from

the real thing but there was one small problem the identity photos in the end they came up with an absolutely ingenious solution to this little stumbling block being prisoners of such high rank they were afforded certain luxuries including a record player for which they were allowed to order a variety of records as it happens many of the Italian records of the era included portraits of the artists who played on them and so the prisoners ordered as many of the records as possible then when they found a singer or musician who looked a bit like them

they carefully cut out the portrait and stuck it on the identity papers after 7 months of non-stop effort the tunnel was finally ready the plotters waited for a stormy night with plenty of wind and rain to cover the sounds of their escape then they made their move leaving crude dummies in their beds in case the guards happened to check in on them 20 minutes later they were free the Escape split into groups of two and headed in different directions to increase their chances of someone getting away safely four of the six headed to nearby train

stations hoping to make a quick getaway before the alarm was raised but Adrian didn't dare take public transport he was about as distinctive looking as it was possible to be and he thought it was too dangerous to risk public spaces instead he and another prisoner dick O Connor planned to make their escape for the Italian Countryside to Switzerland close to 200 miles away on foot just to remind you Adrien was 63 at this point missing a hand and an eye and he didn't speak a word of Italian and yet somehow he and Dick managed to

avoid capture for a full eight days during which time they covered over50 Mi of Open Country sadly they were eventually picked up by Italian soldiers and sent straight back to the castle where they were treated to a month of piece in solry confinement for their troubles no doubt Mor escape attempt would have followed but shortly after emerging from solitary confinement Adrien was abruptly separated from his fellow prisoners and sent to Rome without so much as an explanation there he was given the finest food Italy has to offer in other words some of the finest food

in all of the world and fitted up in a handmade Italian suit wellfed and suitably attired a high-ranking Italian General finally appeared to explain just what the hell was going on it was the summer of 1943 and the war was going badly for the Italians melini had been arrested following the Allied invasion of Sicily and the Italians were Keen to get out of bed with Mr Hitler as soon as humanly possible and that's where Adrien came in the Italians wanted to surrender to the Allies but to do so publicly would have risked Hitler's legendary wrath

instead they wanted Adrian to travel to Lisbon on their behalf to negotiate with the British in other words he was being set free to broke one of the most important deals of the entire War as fate would have it he never did actually negotiate the surrender the Italians had sent several men on that very same mission in case any happens to be intercepted by the Germans and someone else got there first the Italians forly surrendered on the 3rd of September 1943 and Adrian returned to England for the first time in more than two years the

very next day despite the fact he hadn't actually been involved in the Italian armistice the Press had somehow picked up his name and for a couple of weeks he became something of a minor celebrity but Fame and Fortune were never going to suit a man like Adrian especially not when there was still a war on that's right after all he'd been through he was still itching to get back into the fight and an opportunity to do exactly that came a couple of weeks later when he received a personal letter from some bloke by the name

of Winston Churchill incidentally legendary British prime minister Winston Churchill ended up being such an ad ader of our man Adrien that in later life he personally wrote the forward in his autobiography how's that for an indorsement anyway this note turned out to be a summons to the prime minister's famed country retreat in Booking Hamshire known as czechers and it was there that Churchill explained his plan to send Adrien to China as his personal representative in order to help improve failing anglo-chinese relations knowing next to nothing about China Adrian wasn't entirely sold on the idea but

Churchill wasn't a man to say no to and so less than two months after returning to Britain Adrien found himself on his way to Asia he stayed there until the end of the war and whilst his new role was firmly diplomatic in nature he still managed to get himself into a few scrapes China is a massive country and so Churchill ordered that Adrian should have his own private plane to get around he used it on many a diplomatic Mission as intended but when he wasn't was n busy sweet talking the Chinese he also used it

to pick up various supplies from across the continent on one of these Supply runs he flew to seon modern day Sri Lanka to fill up the empty bomb chambers of his plane with what he liked to call Liquid propaganda in other words whiskey but on the way home the plane was forced to make a crash landing with Adrien and his Precious Cargo inside but somehow both survived the unplanned Landing relatively unscathed after the second world war came to a close Britain's new prime minister Clem Atley asked Adrian to stay on in China where there were

increasing concerns about the rise of Communism those concerns were obviously well-placed and Adrien himself quickly developed a deep-seated hatred for all things communist so much so that he once famously interrupted a prominent communist speaker at a dinner party to explain just how much hated communism and everyone who supported it for a moment the speaker looked Furious but then he just laughed by the way his name was Mao zong better known these days as chairman Ma I'm telling you all the important people in the past knew each other 2 years after the end of the second

world war at the age of 67 Adrian C on deah retired for the second and final time his wife remember her yeah me neither well she passed away 2 years later in 1949 2 years after that at the age of 71 he married again this time to a woman called Ruth Myrtle Muriel Joan mney yeah I think he must have had a name fetish or something considering everything he went through in life it's a minor miracle that Adrien made it to old age but that's exactly what happened he and his new wife settled down in

southern irland not far from Cork again we don't really know all that much about his personal life during those final years but we do know that he didn't meet his maker until 1963 when he was 83 years of age despite his Noble birth he died with very little money in his bank account though I'm guessing his large collection of medals would have fetched a pretty penny he ended his 40-year military career with more than 20 of them the most impressive was undoubtedly the victor cross the most prestigious decoration in the entire British honor System the

medal is awarded for extreme bravery in the face of adversity which sums up the hero of this story rather nicely by All Rise Adrien carton de V should be a household name he lived one of the most remarkable lives in modern history and yet mention his name at the dinner table this evening and unless you happen to live with some seriously enthusiastic military history ner I'm willing to bet nobody will have heard of him those that have likely know of him simply as the unkillable soldier which is a bit of a shame really because he

was so much more than that in fact as far as I'm concerned he was quite simply the most interesting man in the world thanks for watching just a quick word to say that I couldn't make these videos without the support of my patreon members consider joining the exclusive 42 Discord Community by supporting me on patreon it's a great place to discuss my videos with likeminded individuals and myself the Link's in the description but if you don't want to or you can't join my patreon then please don't worry a simple like or comment to say thanks
