In September 1944, following the successful 'Anvil' landings of the previous month, the Allies were planning airborne landings in the Orléans Gap. In order to 'soften' the enemy before the landings, they decided to drop a squadron of men and jeeps by parachute in central France. These men were tasked with engaging in a series of daring hit-and-run night raids against enemy positions to distract attention from the landings taking place elsewhere. Only one group of men was deemed resourceful enough for such a high-risk mission: the legendary Special Air Service the SAS! Operation Kipling began when 46 jeeps and 107 well-armed SAS men from C Squadron were parachuted in with orders to establish a base and make contact with the Maquis Frenchmen living in makeshift camps in the forest, having fled from the Germans to conduct sabotage missions behind enemy lines. Even as the SAS men were setting up their secret base camp, the airborne landings were cancelled, and the SAS was ordered to conduct 'aggressive' patrolling. Over the next six weeks, C Squadron carried out a succession of perilous raids against the Germans, racing into occupied towns I jeeps, firing on the move, and racing out again. The SAS continually harassed the enemy and inflicted heavy casualties. By the Operation Kipling had ended, the very mention of the SAS was enough to make even the crack troops of the German Army tremble with feat and, in many cases, throw down their arms and surrender. Soldier P SAS: Night Fighters in France is the story of this daredevil World War Two operation little know, but utterly vital.

This WWII history reveals the untold story of a British special forces unit parachuted into Occupied France to disrupt the German response to D-Day. On June 6th, 1944, members of Britain’s elite Special Air Service were dropped by parachute deep in Nazi-occupied France. Shortly followed by others, the unit totaled fifty-five men. Their task was to disrupt in every way possible the movement of German troops to the north as they tried to repel the Allied invasion of Normandy. Only now, with the release of classified documents, can the full story of Operation Bulbasket be told. Speaking with many of the surviving participants, historian Paul McCue has pieced together what really happened in those dramatic eight weeks after D-Day. Indeed, the survivors themselves have only learned the full story of their operation after it was hidden from them for decades.

In the world of military history there is no brand as potent as that of the SAS. They burst into global prominence in 1980 with their spectacular storming of the Iranian Embassy, and there have been hundreds of books, films, documentaries and even reality TV shows about them. But what there hasn't been is a guide to the scenes of some of their most famous Second World War operations. That is why Gavin Mortimer’s vivid two-volume account of their daring missions in German-occupied France in 1944 is such compelling reading. SAS actions in France delayed German reinforcements reaching the battlefront in Normandy, later sewing confusion among the Germans as they withdrew. The SAS trained the French Maquis and helped to turn them from an indisciplined rabble into an effective fighting force. Their exploits inflicted heavy casualties on the Germans, and they left a trail of destruction and disorder in their wake. In this second volume focusing on 2 SAS he describes in graphic detail operations Loyton, Wallace and Hardy, and Rupert, all of which were carried out in eastern France. Using previously unpublished interviews with SAS veterans and members of the Maquis as well as rare photographs, Gavin Mortimer blends the past and present, so that readers can walk in the footsteps of SAS heroes and see where they lived, fought and died.

A British Army veteran revisits his military career, sharing thrilling stories of Special Forces missions behind enemy lines during World War II. A pre-war Sapper, Charlie Radford served in North Africa until he returned to the UK for parachute training. He volunteered and joined 2SAS in Scotland. His first behind-the-lines operation was in France (Op. Rupert) cutting railway lines, and he then took park in Operation Loyton, now in armed jeeps. His next assignment (Operation Zombie) involved parachuting into the Italian Dolomites to disrupt the vital German link North of Verona between Italy and Austria. This operation ended in failure due to fool hardy leadership, inadequate manning and poor preparation. His OC was captured, tortured and executed, but Charlie escaped to live with the Partisans before being repatriated to the UK. After the war he returned to France to help with the exhumation and reburial of SAS men executed in the Vosges mountains. Postwar he served in Kenya and Somaliland and his experiences there form an interesting epilogue. But SAS Trooper is first and foremost a thrilling account of Special Force soldiering told from the perspective of a young man who more than did his duty under the most testing conditions. Those who imagine that this was a glamorous role in war need only read of the shortcomings of preparation and leadership that led to the disastrous failure of Operation Zombie and the hardships and dangers of fighting with the ruthless Partisans in the Dolomites. Praise for SAS Trooper “This is an interesting autobiography examining the British experience of the Second World War from . . . a pre-war long-service army man rather than the more normal wartime entry, with a mix of special forces and engineer service. Radford and his editor Mackay have produced an interesting book, of special value for those with an interest in the SAS but also of use for those with an interest in the wider British army.” —HistoryOfWar.org
