SAS: Rogue Heroes — Egypt

Scene

David Stirling founds the SAS at Kabrit — convincing General Ritchie with a daring parachute demonstration that a small raiding force could destroy more than a full division.

History

The Special Air Service was officially founded by David Stirling at Kabrit in July 1941 with just 65 men. The unit went on to destroy more enemy aircraft than any other Allied unit in the North Africa campaign, raiding deep behind Rommel's lines and tying down thousands of German security troops.
