For a long time now, our enemies have been focusing on waging war with methods that are contrary to the international Geneva Convention. Members of the units, called Commandos and characterized by special brutality and intrigue, are recruited from criminal elements in their homeland, or even from exiles liberating enemy territory ...
After World War I, the Allies removed much of their armaments from their arsenal, disbanded a number of troops and radically reduced armaments spending. The last war was over, and many officials and military officials did not see much sense in spending significant resources on developing new weapons or tactics.
Operation Frankton was one of the boldest and most unorthodox actions undertaken during World War II. It involved the submarine HMS Tuna and 10 Royal Navy men in 5 canoes. The target of the attack was merchant ships anchored in the French port of Bordeaux - ships that had successfully broken the Allied blockade.
The first months of 1942 were some of the darkest in the history of England. Her troops were pushed out of positions on all battlefields. There were constant reports of retreats and defeats from North Africa, Burma or Malaysia. Britain's survival depended on supplies being transported by slow and vulnerable convoys from the United States, which tried to slip through the lurking packs of Dönitz's submarines. The submarine war culminated.
