Commandos — Churchill's 'Hand Of Steel' (Spearhead 11)

Commandos — Churchill's 'Hand Of Steel' (Spearhead 11)
The first British special forces were the Independent Companies sent to Norway to prevent the Germans setting up U-boat bases. Following the loss of Norway and Churchill's 'butcher and ' of summer 1940, the first (army) Commandos were developed. Other raids on the coastlines of occupied Europe wod take place — including the disaster of Dieppe and the raid on St. Nazaire. The early amphibious raids by the Commandos between 1940 and 1942 pointed up to the obvious need for better intelligence and control on the beaches. So, specialized 'beach parties' were formed and tried during Operation 'Ironclad' to capture the port of Diego Suarez at the northern tip of Madagascar 5/7 May l942. This proved so successf that the RN Commandos (sometimes known as 'Beachhead Commandos') were formed.
