About this listen

In the winter of 1944–1945, a 33-man detachment from C Squadron, 2 Special Air Service was dropped behind enemy lines in the Apennine Mountains of northern Italy. Their mission: disrupt German supply routes, support the Italian Resistance, and divert Axis troops from the Gothic Line.

Operating under extreme conditions, with limited supplies and no guaranteed extraction, the SAS conducted sabotage missions, ambushes, and reconnaissance while constantly pursued by German and Fascist forces.

This podcast presents a detailed, factual account of one of the most challenging Allied special operations of the Second World War.
