The Bomb That Sparked a New Strategy | SAS Rogue Heroes

[@eddiemoran8044]

Operation squatter turned out to be a complete disaster. Of the 65 SAS operators deployed only 22 would survive the jump and then the trek back through the desert which took 36 hours. Zero German airplanes were destroyed and many of the men were scattered from the wind and lost in sand storms. A very rough start to what would become the premier special operations group of the war, and later on the entire world.

Seems like it was unnecessary, given the operations of the armoured car groups in the desert, too. I'd never heard of airborne operations with these goals before seeing this, but was well aware of the amazing things the armoured car groups did deep in the desert (and their operations against the Afrika Korps' supply lines).

Mistakes is how we learn, and smart people never make the same mistake twice

​@@Satanperkelepeople who have the capability to learn don't make the same mistake twice. Smart people don't make foreseeable mistakes in the first place.

You're gonna want to get better at googling

[@MaxwellAerialPhotography]

I'm guessing thats the reason this channel just started posting only a few weeks ago, to drum up publicity ahead of a season 2.

[@russelllapua4904]

It’s already done and now in post production.

Lawrence did it first

[@zen4men]

So true! A fine inspiration, that I cannot recall being mentioned in WW2? Though as the descendent of Highland lairds, I would point out that the very long tradition of Highland raiding played a major part in the creation of the Commandos and SAS. /

Lt Greyjoy

[@michaelbaker7499]

Well I don't know how accurate this series was to reality. But, as depicted, Jock was a massive loss to the SAS.

[@TheFlaneur-up1ft]

Don’t know who these actors are but they are not very convincing.

[@NangDoofer]

clearly you don't know theon greyjoy

[@TheFlaneur-up1ft]

@@NangDoofer nope, but what’s that got to do with it? They didn’t do it for me at all.

[@bobjohnbowles]

@@TheFlaneur-up1ft What it's got to do with it is, whether you find it convincing (or not) is coloured by your expectations. You do not seem to have been expecting public-school-educated Englishmen brought up in the 1930's. More fool you.

[@TheFlaneur-up1ft]

@@bobjohnbowles I feel sorry for you if you think this is good acting. Personally it think it’s absolutely unconvincing, but it seems you prefer mediocrity.

[@bobjohnbowles]

@@TheFlaneur-up1ft I never commented on the acting. Just on your expectations.
