"[T]he amazing story of a woman who lived through one of the worst times in human history, losing family members to the Nazis but surviving with her spirit and integrity intact.” —Publishers Weekly Marthe Cohn was a young Jewish woman living just across the German border in France when Hitler rose to power. Her family sheltered Jews fleeing the Nazis, including Jewish children sent away by their terrified parents. But soon her homeland was also under Nazi rule. As the Nazi occupation escalated, Marthe’s sister was arrested and sent to Auschwitz and the rest of her family was forced to flee to the south of France. Always a fighter, Marthe joined the French Army and became a member of the intelligence service of the French First Army. Marthe, using her perfect German accent and blond hair to pose as a young German nurse who was desperately trying to obtain word of a fictional fiancé, would slip behind enemy lines to retrieve inside information about Nazi troop movements. By traveling throughout the countryside and approaching troops sympathetic to her plight--risking death every time she did so--she learned where they were going next and was able to alert Allied commanders. When, at the age of eighty, Marthe Cohn was awarded France’s highest military honor, the Médaille Militaire, not even her children knew to what extent this modest woman had helped defeat the Nazi empire. At its heart, this remarkable memoir is the tale of an ordinary human being who, under extraordinary circumstances, became the hero her country needed her to be.

Behind enemy lines is a harrowing place to be. Few survive and those that do may never be the same again. World War II was no gentleman's war. There was brutality all around and death may have been a welcomed alternative to captivity. Rescue or survival was wanted even more though. There are stories of those that have been caught behind the enemies lines. They are cut off from their allies. Alone. Desperate. These are just a few of those stories. Ask yourself, what would you do to survive? What lengths would you go to in order to make it out alive? This book explores what some did when faced with that very real question. Germany was determined to crush Yugoslavia when it broke ties with them and aligned themselves with the Allied Forces. When a British envoy arrived to meet if Yugoslavian leaders, they find themselves running for their lives as the Germans close in. What was to be a diplomatic mission, soon turns into a nightmare. Will they all make it home alive? The Special Air Service is one of the most elite units in the British military. These men come from all corners of the United Kingdom and are some of the best out there. What happens when an already beleaguered unit finds it's self behind enemy lines and betrayed by possibly one of their own? This is another action packed book on the men that fought, and sometimes died, in World War II. They sacrificed their lives for the freedom of not only others but their own countries as well. Some of their stories are forever immortalized here in these pages.

Prepared for any situation from averting interrogation through suicide to derailing a train with nothing but an overcoat—and supplied with such useful items as expertly forged documents, exploding rats, and invisible ink—the men and women of the O.S.S. and the S.O.E. were sent behind enemy lines to cause mayhem, often alone, with an average life expectancy of six weeks. These are their stories in their own words.

An account of the various units of the British special forces used during the Second World War, perfect for military enthusiasts and WWII history buffs. War Behind Enemy Lines tells the unvarnished story of British Special Forces in the Second World War. While the SAS and SBS remain household names today, there were a plethora of lesser known units, large and small, that played their part before departing the scene. Of special note was the Long Range Desert Group (LRDG) formed in North Africa who imparted their skills to David Stirling’s SAS in the early days. The Special Boat Sections and Squadron and other Royal Marine units inflicted great damage. Popski’s Private Army used heavily armed jeeps effectively in Italy while the Jedburghs parachuted in to assist the French Resistance. In Burma, the Chindits, under the controversial Orde Wingate, conducted deep penetration patrols against the Japanese, suffering heavy casualties from enemy action and disease. Drawing on personal accounts as well as official records, Julian Thompson paints a vivid picture of the operations and contribution of these and other units. He also analyses, using his own experience, the reasons for the resulting successes and failures.There is unlikely to be a more comprehensive and authoritative account of the “Golden Age of British Special Forces.”
