Product Description

Commando is the real & exciting story of one of the most important units of World War II. 

The Commando unit played an important role in Britain's successes &, here, Durnford-Slater gives his first-hand & unique point of view on everything that happened.
 
  Brigadier Durnford-Slater raised & trained the first Commando unit in 1940, & Commando tells the brilliant story of an outstanding leader & some of the most courageous exploits of the Second World War.
 
  In 1940, 3 Commando was created to harry opposition forces in raids impossible for regular army units. 
 
  Durnford-Slater led No. 3 Commando on an exploratory operation in Guernsey in summer 1940, & never looked back after that. 
 
  From there, No. 3 Commando orchestrated raids on the Loften Islands & Vaagso in Norway & Dieppe, as well as operations in Sicily, Italy, France & Germany.
 
  The commandos were so effective at creating destruction that Hitler personally ordered that all fighters captured during these missions be executed. Despite this immense threat, the commandos' spirit remained undented & extremely high.
