About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

June 1942. The Third Reich is victorious everywhere. In desperation, Winston Churchill and his chief of staff form an unusual plan: a new commando unit made up of Jewish refugees from Germany and Austria who escaped to Britain just before the war. Many have lost their families, their homes - their whole worlds. And now, in the crucial final battles against the Nazis, they will stop at nothing to defeat them. Trained in counterintelligence and advanced combat, this top secret unit becomes known as X Troop. Some simply call them a suicide squad.

Drawing on extensive original research, including interviews with the last surviving members, Leah Garrett follows this unique band of brothers from Europe to England and back again, with stops at British internment camps, the beaches of Normandy, the battlefields of Italy and Holland and the hellscape of Terezin concentration camp - the scene of one of the most dramatic, untold rescues of the war. For the first time, X Troop tells the astonishing story of these secret shock troops and their devastating blows against the Nazis.

Amazing account of Jewish Commandos

Breathtaking narrative of young boys and men thrown into the treadmill of WWII who stood up and got their revenge.

Must have for ww2 history enthusiast/ researchers

The story and witness of the incredible X Troop.
A commando unit in ww2 of mainly Jewish refugees serving in the British army.
Not a lot is known about this unit, hopefully more will be published in the future.
