SAS / LRDG section – SMG (British)

Description

The SAS were founded in 1941 by Lt David Stirling and originally was seen as a raiding force designed to disrupt the enemy through sabotage, intelligence gathering and outright attacks. 

Initially, the new force failed to impress the higher command, as Operation Squatter, their first mission, was an unmitigated disaster. However, given a second chance, and transported by the LRDG, the SAS proved themselves by destroying 60 aircraft across 3 airfields with no losses.

Further missions in the desert, often teamed with the LRDG, saw them sowing mayhem across German occupied airfields and harbours. Later in the war, they engaged in amphibious landings, parachute rescue drops and more of their hit and run attacks.
