In this second installment of our special series, Al Murray and James Holland team up with Tom Petch to dive into the daring missions of the Special Air Service (SAS) in France during World War 2. From Operation Titanic's deception to fierce firefights in Brittany, the SAS pushed deep behind enemy lines to disrupt German forces and aid the Resistance. What were the real risks of these secretive operations? And how did the SAS manage to turn the tide in key moments? Join us as we explore the bravery, tactics, and chaos of the SAS's most daring missions.
