For everyone in Britain, these were the darkest days of the Second World War. Our army, or what was left of it, had been withdrawn from France via the beaches of Dunkirk, disabling and abandoning arms and equipment during the desperate evacuation. While they reorganised and re-equipped there was no effective fighting force to stand against Hitler’s Wehrmacht should they choose to invade. Crossing the channel with an invasion fleet was, however, not an operation to be contemplated without complete control of the sky, otherwise the transports and landing craft would be blown out of the water by the RAF. At the same time, Commandos continued to undertake small-scale missions. In the Balkans in 1943-45 they undertook raids against military installations, often alongside local resistance groups.Dansby, Andrew (8 April 2012).

[14] Artists and writers [ edit ] Vooral het tweede deel over de guerillaoorlog die hij onder bevel van Jan Smuts voerde, op weg en in de Kaapkolonie, geeft de hopeloze zaak van de Boeren goed weer. Uitsluitend de bijna 18e eeuwse bereidheid van Reitz en zijn maten om enorme ontberingen te ondergaan van het leven in het "velt", in de openlucht, met alleen een paard, een Mausergeweer en een dunne deken om onder te slapen, maakt dat de Boerenkommando's lange tijd konden blijven opereren en de Boeren weliswaar de militaire kant van de strijd verloren, maar aan de publicitaire kant punten scoorden. De oorlog werd zo verloren, de vrede en een 'eigen' Zuid Afrika uiteindelijk gewonnen. Het is dat wij weten hoe Zuid Afrika na de Tweede Wereldoorlog de Apartheid in is gegaan om het boek niet een veel mooier einde te geven.

Neil Roberts, an artist with over 20 years experience in art, illustration and game art, has illustrated the covers of over 60 issues of Commando. The comics were popular in Finland, where they were known by the name "Korkeajännitys", meaning "high excitement" - it's a wordplay, referring to "korkeajännite", which would mean "high voltage". Hence the tagline: "Iskee kuin miljoona volttia", meaning "Strikes like a million volts". The term "korkeajännitys" doesn't exist in Finnish language outside this wordplay. Special issues of Korkeajännitys based on Finnish themes have been published by Egmont Publishing since 1998. These themes include Finnish Civil War, Finnish War as well as Winter War and Continuation War. Hmm, I don't know. This one just didn't blow my skirt up. I'm a connoisseur of war books and there are very few on the Boer War from the Boer perspective but this wasn't my favorite. A coffee table book with many images in 3D depicting the detailed rebuild of the author's plunger NortonThe War Office completed a study that concluded large commando forces were not required in the post-war world and the Army Commandos were abolished in 1946. The first commando raids were made in small numbers, were of short duration and took place at night. Most were against coastal targets in Scandinavia and North West Europe. Evocatively titled stories such as ‘The Fighting Few’, ‘Bright Blade of Courage’, ‘Flak Fever’ and ‘Fight or Die!’ show fearless Tommies in their finest hours, giving a good honest drubbing to fanatical foes from all the Axis countries. This is a very readable book. It is remarkable how a civilized decent man took such satisfaction in shooting people.

Commando: A Boer Journal Of The Boer War - Goodreads

Great first hand account of the Anglo-Boer war, from the perspective of an unusually astute young boer foot soldier. Deneys Reitz was die seun van President Reitz van die Oranje Vrystaat (pres Steyn het ná hom gekom). Kommando is sy vertellinge van die tragedie van die Tweede Vryheidsoorlog. Hy het as jong man deel gevorm van die Pretoria Kommando. Hy het die hele oorlog beleef, van die euforie van die aanvanklike oorwinning by Spioenkop, deur Kitchener se strategie van die vernietiging van die plase en die konsentrasiekampe, en laaste die wanhopige inval van die Kaapkolonie deur genl. Smuts. Die nadraai toe hy deporteer is weens sy weiering om die vredesooreenkoms te aanvaar is baie interessant. Hy beskryf dan die ongeveer 4 jaar in Madagaskar en die daaropvolgende terugkeer na Suid-Afrika. Impressed by the performance of Germany’s paratroops in the first two years of the war, Churchill called for the formation of a British equivalent. By late 1941, No 2 Commando had been retrained as parachutists. Richardson, Peter (27 January 2011). "Commando Hits It's[ sic] Half Century". Cloud 109 . Retrieved 27 June 2016. Ferg Handley has written over 250 issues of Commando, most notably the series featuring the Special Raiding Force known as Ramsey’s Raiders.Raiding is what Second World War commandos were trained for, and these thrilling comic-strip yarns show true-Brit heroes assaulting all kinds of enemy targets from the land, sea and air. Stealthy, resourceful, daring and hard as nails, the commandos succeed against all odds in accomplishing their missions, whether against fanatical Nazi storm troopers or ruthless Japanese jungle-fighters. Commando: For Action and Adventure: This epic new collection of classic stories contains plenty of both. The epilogue was written by Lisa Marie Presley, a close friend of Johnny and Linda Ramone.
