Descrizione articolo

Riassunto

This is a chronolgical account of SAS operations in conventional warfare from the early days in the western desert during World War II to the great "Scud Hunt" in Iraq during the Gulf War. It includes explanations of SAS operational procedures, weapons and equipment. Included is a full explanation of what the SAS planned to do had the Warsaw Pact ever invaded western Europe: guerilla-style operations in Poland, East Germany and other countries, assisted by buried arms caches (only now being emptied).
