About this listen

 'A humbling, inspiring account of some of the real founders of modern day Special Forces soldiering' Bear Grylls

SAS Nazi Hunters is the incredible, hitherto untold story of the most secret chapter in the SAS's history. Officially, the world's most elite special forces unit was dissolved at the end of the Second World War, and not reactivated until the 1950s. Among their last actions was a disastrous commando raid into occupied France in 1944, which ended in the capture,torture and execution of 31 soldiers.

It can now be revealed that the SAS never was dissolved: it lived on, commanded personally by Churchill and hidden even from the British government. They were tasked with hunting through the ruins of the Reich for the SS commanders responsible for the murder of their comrades, including many who had escaped the failed justice of the Nuremberg trials. Along the way, they discovered before anyone else the full horror of Hitler's regime, and the growing threat from Stalin's Russia.

Still studied by the SAS today and a central part of their founding myth, the story of the Nazi hunters is now told by bestselling author Damien Lewis.

I fully enjoyed this book and have read most of Damien Lewis’s books now. This story was fantastic and the revelations at end of the book had me in total disbelief of what politics is capable of, well done Leighton Pugh.

Amazing story

Engrossing, dramatic and informative narrative of amazing heroism and great evil. It was not a part of WW2 history that I knew anything about and I was enthralled. However, it was hard to listen to some of the appalling acts of terrible violence and (spoiler alert) lack of justice in some cases.
The bravery and dedication to service and justice shone through for me in the end.

Excellent
