Hitler's Secret Commandos is the history of the K-Verband naval
commando unit, established in 1943 to reek havoc amongst invading
allied forces involved in amphibious landings or actions, against
German-occupied coasts. Following the Italian and British example,
the basic idea was for a small, exceptionally well-trained and
absolutely reliable commando force using the maximum element of
surprise. Midget U-boats, and small torpedo-carrying craft along
the lines of the "explosive boats" used by the Italian Navy, were
designed for individual operations while a naval assault troop was
formed for missions against important enemy operational targets
near the sea after being landed from naval vessels offshore. Using
German archive material, first-hand accounts and other published
material this is the first comprehensive history of the K-Verband.
It charts the development, structure, selection, training and
equipment the Commando unit used together with a detailed narrative
of the operations undertaken. The material has been translated from
a German text, previously published in Germany with wide acclaim.
