Ian Fleming's Commandos: The Story of the Legendary 30 Assault Unit by Nicholas Rankin (book review)
In Ian Fleming's Commandos, author Nicholas Rankin tells the story of a secret intelligence outfit conceived and organized during the Second World War by the James Bond author Ian Fleming. Named 30 Assault Unit, the group was expected to seize Nazi codebooks, cipher machines, and documents in high-stakes operations. They went ashore on D-Day, heading for rocket-sites and radar-stations. They helped liberate Paris and then set out to steal scientific and industrial secrets from the heart of Nazi Germany. Their final amazing coup was to seize the entire archives of the German Navy - three hundred tons of documents. Ian Fleming flew out in person to accompany the loot back to Britain.
