Battle Treasures tells the stories behind some of the rarest and most remarkable military artefacts ever discovered.
Iconic Assault Rifles
The German STG 44, history's first true assault rifle, revolutionised infantry tactics. We then uncover a rare AK-47 signed by its inventor, Mikhail Kalashnikov, a weapon that became a global icon of revolution. Finally, Foxy and Bruce handle the M16 with grenade launcher, an actual weapon used during the film Black Hawk Down. Together, these rifles reveal how military engineering, politics, and battlefield innovation shaped the weapons that came to define the twentieth century.
Incredible Swords
A Viking sword, Tantia Topee's blade, and Sir John Moore's sword of honour reveal stories of conquest, rebellion, and recognition across centuries of battle.
Battlefield Relics
A battlefield cornet, medieval dagger, and WWII medic tins reveal how ordinary items became extraordinary relics of survival, sacrifice, and human experience in war.
Amazing Escapes
Hidden compasses, the SAS silk map from the Bravo Two Zero mission, and resistance radios reveal the ingenious tools of wartime escape. Jason and Bruce uncover stories of survival.
Air Combat Honours
From Martin-Baker Vermont watches to bomber jackets, Jason and Bruce explore artefacts of courage and survival that defined the culture of air combat.
Special Ops
The SAS respirator, KGB umbrella, and Saddam's gold pistol reveal the daring, secrecy, and ruthlessness of special operations from London to Baghdad.
