Mike Sadler was absolutely instrumental to the success of the early SAS. He was resposible for inserting the devastating fighting forces that were the SAS raiding parties deep behind enemy lines and more importantly getting them back to safety. His acheivements during the war are far too many to mention but he is up with Paddy Mayne with regard to influence in shaping the SAS. He was also one of the few people able to tame Paddy - an achievement in its own right! There are fewer true legends in warfare than people claim but Mike Salder is one of them!

@@2410jrod Good question and, to be honest, I don't know. In the current UK (post-1993) military awards & decorations structure the Military Cross is a Level 3A Decoration while the Military Medal is a Level 3B Medal - but I believe they were ranked higher before the introduction of the Conspicuous Gallantry Cross (in 1993). During WW2, the M.C. was only awarded to officers/warrant officers while the M.M. was awarded to other ranks (for equivalent actions) so he must have risen from the ranks. The gallantry medal structure in the British Army in WW2 would have gone: (1) Victoria Cross; (2) Distinguished Service Order (Officers)/ Distinguished Conduct Medal (Other Ranks); (3) Military Cross (Officers) / Military Medal (Other Ranks). The criteria for the M.C. & M.M. were as follows: M.C. "an act or acts of exemplary gallantry during active operations against the enemy on land", and M.M.: "acts of gallantry and devotion to duty under fire". I don't know how the U.S. awards are structured, so I can't say what they equivalent to, but I hope this helps.

Fun Fact: David Stirling the founder of the SAS was a Scotsman from the Highlands, and his best mate was the founder of the Commandos i.e. Lord Lovat also a Scot and a Highlander these two should have been made generals for what they did during WW1 and WW2 and I'm an Englishman.

They were first cousins. The 15th Lord Lovat's name was Simon Fraser. Stirling's mother was a Fraser.

Did David Stirling and Lord Lovat fight in WW1? Surely they was too young at the time.

Why bother stating that you're an Englishman, and why make a point of the Scottish connection? Bore off.

@Enigma man They would have made appaling Gennerals. Both were very good at small units doing irregular warfare. They would have been a disaster trying to manage a huge regular army. Horses for courses.

My Dad was in the 2nd SAS and did his training in the desert, where he did meet Randolph Churchill. He was in a group that was sent to pick up Mussolini but they arrived too late, he had already been taken away by the Germans.

Another fun fact during the D Day landings Bill Millin was Lovat's piper as they waded ashore Lovat said to Millin play the lads a tune Bill to raise their spirits so Millin walked up and down the D Day beach playing his bagpipes (which had been banned by the army) Later some of the Germans captured were asked why they didn't shoot him the reply was "we thought he was mad so felt sorry for him"

Bagpipes were not banned by the army, each Scottish and Irish regiments had pipe bands since the late eighteenth century.

Having read the Ben MacIntyre book Sas: Rogue Heroes I have been captivated on the story of how such a small group of men changed the course of the war and how utterly fearless they all were. I’ve seen the ‘originals’ being interviewed (rest in peace) and awe-inspiried by how humble they all seemed as if they were describing a lads holiday. Incredible and a testament to mankind. My total respect and admiration. Ps read the aforementioned book if you haven’t already!!

I just finished watching the shows all in one go I couldn’t stop. Where do you start ? What a story of how this beautiful, fantastic , BRAVE regiment started. These guys are just simply on another level what soldiers they were and what sacrifices they made for us All. I’m ex army of 10 years so watching it made me laugh out loud so much because I totally understand the banter they had as you definitely need it as a soldier. To this day these guys remain a world class regiment . I’m proud to know a few lads who went into the regiment. so to the heroes of past and present thank you 🙏🏻 for your service and sacrifices we will never forget what you gave to keep the world a safer place . 🇬🇧🫡 please watch this show it’s amazing .
