London, Leo Cooper. 1995. Hardcover with dust jacket, 24 Cm. Book, ex-Hampshire lib, usual indicators. 176pp with a bw photo section, just too far over the 500g so why not use up that post allowance and add another book. Kommando: Hitler's Special Forces in the Second World War is an examination of Hitler's special commando forces in the Second World War, led by Admiral Canaris, head of the German Secret Service, looking a operations which ranged over a dozen countries and three continents. Kessler, who was personally acquainted with many of the survivors, pays a fitting tribute to a very gallant band of men who, as he clearly shows, went on fighting for Fuhrer and Fatherland long after they must have known that their cause was lost. Good/Very Good.
