Between March 1939 and April 1941, Nazi Germany overran almost the
whole of continental Europe in a series of lightning campaigns.
Some of the defeated troops managed to evade capture and set up
guerilla units in rural areas or escaped to friendly countries. The
hard pressed Allies welcomed this source of motivated manpower with
open arms and these volunteers were either incorporated into
existing units or formed into new ones. These emigre servicemen,
fanatically anti-German and with priceless "in country" knowledge
were valuable recruits for the various unconventional and
clandestine warfare units such as 10th (interallied) commando and
the SOE. This volume covers the largely ignored contribution of
these volunteer units which served alongside the major combatants
to help overthrow Nazi tyranny.
