  • Description: This WWII history reveals the untold story of a British special forces unit parachuted into Occupied France to disrupt the German response to D-Day. On June 6th, 1944, members of Britain’s elite Special Air Service were dropped by parachute deep in Nazi-occupied France. Shortly followed by others, the unit totaled fifty-five men. Their task was to disrupt in every way possible the movement of German troops to the north as they tried to repel the Allied invasion of Normandy. Only now, with the release of classified documents, can the full story of Operation Bulbasket be told. Speaking with many of the surviving participants, historian Paul McCue has pieced together what really happened in those dramatic eight weeks after D-Day. Indeed, the survivors themselves have only learned the full story of their operation after it was hidden from them for decades.
