During World War II, the British Special Air Service (SAS) became legendary for their daring operations and innovative approaches to warfare. These elite units were tasked with performing unconventional operations in hostile environments, often behind enemy lines. The success of these missions was, in part, due to the kit they used—some of it specially selected for its effectiveness in special operations. Weapons like the Thompson submachine gun, Vickers K machine gun, and Lewes bomb became staples of the SAS’ arsenal. These weapons helped to shape the outcome of several key operations, particularly in the North African desert during 1942.
ULYSSES FILES is a YouTube channel dedicated to showcasing primarily military history content (plus certain other topics) in short documentary form, featuring interesting and quirky characters and stories from the late 19th Century on through the 1st and 2nd World Wars to the present.
