Operation Tombola (Special Forces Library)
Vg. Vg. 2nd Edn. 256pp. 6maps. On March 6th 1945, As The Allied Advance In Italy Approached Its Climax, The Author Dropped By Parachute Into The Northern Appenines. Operation Tombola, The Last And The Most Ambitious Of The Special Air Service Expeditions, Had Begun. Rather Than Adopt The Usual Hit And Run Tactics Employed In S.A.S. Raids On German Headquarters And Lines Of Supply, The Author Decided To Join Forces With The Italian Partisans In The Area, To Occupy The Inaccessible Valleys Of The Appenines And To Form An Organised Resistance In The Rear Of The Main German Army. These Tactics Were Remarkably Successful. At The Head Of His Force The Author Stormed A German Corps Headquarters, Resisted A Full-scale Attack On His Valley, Survived A Nightmarish Ride Through The German Ranks, And For Six Weeks Played Havoc With Their Lines Of Communication, Eventually Joining Forces With The Advancing U.S. Army.
