5.0 out of 5 stars
history that changed our world,
By andrew baltuskonis (rio grande, nj United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Guinea Pigs: Britain's First Paratroop Raid (Hardcover)
I have met Raymond Foxall and the surviving members of X Troop.my grandfather was a member of the pioneering group of brave men who were sent into battle without the outcome known to them. these 35 men went and completed their mission without support except for the encouragment of the men with them,they only lost one man in this mission who was murdered by the Italians because he was 1st generation Italian,the rest were captured because the Italians used civilians as a human shield against these brave men. These brave men refused to kill unarmed civilians and surrendered without firing a shot. That action took more courage than the mission they completed hours before. It is sad that there are no more books of the actions of the men from this unit after capture. they for the most part escaped captivity or harrassed the German and Italian captors , making a living hell for the axis. |
