The interval from early 1940 to the tip of 1942 used to be a time of gloom and uncertainty for the British, who stood on my own opposed to the assembled may of the Axis powers. They badly wanted a champion, and have been to discover this in a small strength of infantrymen who encouraged them with a sequence of bold raids opposed to the coasts of 'occupied Europe', turning into the heroes of the British public and of the British top Minister who had created them. This name explores the wartime heritage of the British military Commandos whose bravery did rather a lot to elevate the morale of the British public in the course of global conflict II (1939-1945).

American military aviation historians – and their British counterparts – have the advantage of easier access to sources for research. Seized by the victors were plans, drawings, reports, photographs, films, memoranda, diaries and they have much other additional useful material including PoW interrogation statements.
