Synopsis
'A humbling, inspiring account of some of the real founders of modern day Special Forces soldiering' Bear Grylls
The Nazi Hunters is the incredible, hitherto untold story of the most secret chapter in the SAS's history. Officially, the world's most elite special forces unit was dissolved at the end of the Second World War, and not reactivated until the 1950s. Among their last actions was a disastrous commando raid into occupied France in 1944, which ended in the capture, torture and execution of 31 soldiers.
It can now be revealed that the SAS never was dissolved: it lived on, commanded personally by Churchill and hidden even from the British government. They were tasked with hunting through the ruins of the Reich for the SS commanders responsible for the murder of their comrades, including many who had escaped the failed justice of the Nuremberg trials. Along the way, they discovered before anyone else the full horror of Hitler's regime, and the growing threat from Stalin's Russia.
Still studied by the SAS today and a central part of their founding myth, the story of the Nazi hunters is now told by bestselling author Damien Lewis.

Book Description
The extraordinary true story of the SAS's bloody rebirth, revealed for the very first time
From the Back Cover
It is late summer 1944 and sixty SAS have been parachuted into the Vosges Mountains of northeastern France, tasked with wreaking havoc and bloody mayhem amongst German forces and ensuring the failure Fuhrer's desperate last defences. Some would never return. At mission's end thirty-one SAS were listed as 'missing - fate unknown'.
The man who commanded this mission refused to let their killers escape justice. Faced with the post-war disbandment of the SAS, Colonel Brian Franks formed a top-secret unit, known as 'The Secret Hunters'.
Still studied by the SAS today, The Nazi Hunters are a founding part of the Regiment's myth, constituting one of the great untold stories of the Second World War.
