SAS Band of Brothers: The Last Stand of the SAS and Their Hunt for the Nazi Killers

Product Information

Band of Brothers just happens to be my most favourite TV series ever. So when I saw a non fiction book by Damien Lewis about a parachute squad referred to as Band of Brothers I had to buy the book. Turns out this Damien Lewis is not the actor who starred in the series but a military historian, one who specialises in world war two to boot. The soldiers Lewis writes about are also English not American and are captured, tortured and, in some cases, murdered. Savannah Guthrie, 51, reveals fears about flaunting her legs in revealing Taylor Swift costume for Today's Halloween show

The group were named SABU 70, so called from the name of an Indian actor who played Mowgli in the film Elephant Boy. This may seem to be an unusual name for a team of highly professional soldiers but then this is only the first of many extraordinary features of this operation. However, the senior SS officer escaped prosecution, as his knowledge of Soviet agents was just too tempting for British intelligence to ignore. So, despite his role in the liquidation of Allied agents, he was later recruited by British intelligence. Another person to escape prosecution was a SOE double-agent who participated in Funkspiel from Avenue Foch.
