SAS Operation Galia
Robert Hann

ISBN:978 0 9556239 9 8 (£7.99)

Publication: December 2009

Two days after Christmas 1944, during the harshest winter in living memory, 33 SAS troops parachuted into the valley of Rossano, Northern Italy.

Carried out in broad daylight, the parachute drop was intended to deceive observing enemy forces into believing that a full parachute brigade of 400 men had landed behind them.
