In this jaw-dropping episode of The Days Grimm Podcast, hosts Brian Michael Day and Thomas Grimm explore the unbelievable true story of Lieutenant General Sir Adrian Carton de Wiart — a man who fought in four wars, survived 11 wounds, three plane crashes, and even ripped off his own fingers when a doctor refused to amputate them.

Nicknamed “The Unkillable Soldier,” de Wiart’s life sounds like a Hollywood movie — except it’s all true. From charging through the Boer War and World War I with one eye and one hand, to escaping Italian POW camps in World War II at age 60, his story redefines bravery, madness, and sheer willpower.

In this episode, you’ll hear about:

• His insane record of injuries (and why he kept going back to battle)
• The quote that defined his life: “Frankly, I enjoyed the war.”
• His legendary escape from an Italian prison camp during WWII
• The time he survived three plane crashes and still kept fighting
• His unlikely friendship with Winston Churchill and role in diplomacy after the war

Sir Adrian’s story is part history lesson, part action movie, and 100% proof that truth is stranger than fiction.
