About this listen

The Nazi Hunters is the incredible, hitherto untold story of the most secret chapter in the SAS' 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 murders 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 best-selling author Damien Lewis.

A well-researched, compelling and apparently authentic story which is told in an accessible manner. Beautifully read, with the kind of detail that provides the listener with an insight into an almost-forgotten piece of recent history.

Loved this reconstruction of a very important story that still carries so many lessons pertinent to today's world. A great illustration of how far a person can actually push oneself.

Who Dares Wins is a fitting description of the ethos of those brave men, and women, military and civilian, who are at the heart of this remarkable account of courage, bravery and selfless dedication. This previously untold story lifts the lid on a chapter of World War II which everyone should read. War crimes should never go unpunished and it is fitting testament to those who served their country with such distinction during the war that they were able to continue the fight to hunt down those who perpetrated the most evil and cowardly of deeds in the name of the Third Reich. Those who dared - won.

book is well narrated, and is detailed mixing thrilling story with factual dispatches from the time. I personally found the beginning a little hard to get into due to the need of multiple introductions of the different teams but once established the book was easy to follow so proved not to be an issues.

Well read with good detail
