Why German Snipers Refused to Shoot the Man in the Kilt on D Day?
On D-Day, as bullets rained down on Sword Beach, one soldier marched unarmed into the chaos—wearing a kilt and playing bagpipes. German snipers had him in their sights but held their fire. Why?
This is the incredible true story of Bill Millin, “The Mad Piper,” personal piper to Lord Lovat. As British Commandos fought through withering fire, Millin’s defiant music became a symbol of courage so baffling it changed the rules of engagement. We explore the psychology of the battlefield, the moments that left seasoned German marksmen stunned, and how the sound of bagpipes turned into one of WWII’s most unusual legends.
