Description
The Secret Jewish Commandos Who Helped Defeat the Nazis The shadow of the Third Reich fell across Europe, prompting Winston Churchill and his chief of staff to form a top-secret unit of Jewish refugees. Trained in counterintelligence and advanced combat, this unique band of fighters became known as X Troop. Drawing on extensive original research, including interviews with the last surviving members, Leah Garrett tells the astonishing story of these secret shock troops and their devastating blows against the Nazis. X Troop's story takes them from Europe to England and back again, with stops at British internment camps, the beaches of Normandy, and the battlefields of Italy and Holland. Their mission was to stop at nothing to defeat the Nazis, and their bravery and sacrifice are a testament to the human spirit. For the first time, X Troop brings to light the untold story of these secret commandos and their crucial role in the war effort.
