After weeks of acclimatisation, the commando is given its mission: The German tanks need fuel. Destry the fuel supply and the battle is all but won. There are only two complications: the fuel dump is in Tunisia, a long way behind enemy lines and it’s right next to a field hospital, protected by the Geneva Convention.

Even Hannibal himself would need more than elephants to triumph against the might of the Afrika Corps.

Operation Leonardo
2021
It wasn't a "bridge too far", but it was a bridge too hot to hold. Sicily, 1943 and 15 Commando are back in action, this time under the direct orders of General Montgomery to take and hold the bridge over the River Gabriel. The intelligence brief said there would be almost no enemy resistance and that there were no German tanks within miles. The intelligence was wrong! Not only that, but Montgomery was late. And that is without taking into account the Fallschirmjäger division that parachuted in to defend the same bridge. Cut off behind enemy lines and facing tanks that they aren’t equipped to deal with, can Carter’s Commandos hold the bridge? Operation Leonardo is a fictionalised account of real events.
#6

Once again, the great General Montgomery has hung 15 Commando out to dry. This story is based on the real-life adventures of the Army Commandos. Operation Terminus tells the story of a battle that is now barely remembered, except by those who were there. They did things so unbelievable that the world would be stunned if they were to happen today. But they just called it “being a commando”. Read the remarkable story of a battle that was almost lost, but for the heroism of the commandos.
