Description
Audacious Missions of World War II by The National Archives explores the incredible feats that went beyond sheer military force to win World War II. It highlights the cunning and immense bravery of Special Forces and intelligence operatives who faced overwhelming odds.
Drawing on hundreds of documents and images from The National Archives, including some that have never before been seen in print, this book unveils some of the most daring missions of World War II. One such mission documented is the SOE dossier of the plot to assassinate Hitler, which reveals the practical impossibility of the task.
Another highlighted operation is Operation Frankton, where commandos undertook a perilous 100-mile journey upriver in canoes to Bordeaux to sabotage Axis shipping. Additionally, the book covers the joint British-American Operation Fortitude, in which a phantom US army equipped with inflatable tanks was stationed in Kent, successfully deceiving Hitler into believing that the D-Day landings would occur at Calais.
