Kill Rommel!: Operation Flipper 1941: Raid

Autor Gavin Mortimer Ilustrat de Peter Dennis, Johnny Shumate, Alan Gilliland
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 20 feb 2014
A detailed, illustrated analysis of the British Commandos' audacious attempt to assassinate Rommel in 1941.

In November 1941, a small party of British Commandos landed by submarine in Libya, tasked with the assassination of General Erwin Rommel, commander of the German forces in North Africa, who was believed to be staying in a villa near the coast.

Three men - Lt-Col Geoffrey Keyes, Capt Robin Campbell and Sgt Jack Terry - stormed the villa, but the German general was nowhere to be found. In the confused fighting Keyes was killed and Campbell wounded; only two raiders would escape, one of whom was Terry.

The raid made headlines round the free world, and Keyes was awarded a posthumous Victoria Cross. Yet in truth the raid had been a glorious failure, a mission bedevilled by bad planning and poor intelligence. Even so, crucial lessons were learned, particularly by the Special Air Service - who carried out their first mission on the same night as the raid on Rommel's HQ.
