Rogue Heroes: The History Of The SAS, Britain's Secret Special Forces Unit That Sabotaged The Nazis And Changed The Nature Of War - Plot & Excerpts
The car and its occupants did not seem particularly worthy of attention—the Germans were always rushing around at odd hours—but the noise it was making most certainly was: a strange, high-pitched metallic scream, audible from a distance of half a mile, that died away as the car came to a stop. Something had knocked the wheels out of alignment, and the bearings were protesting at maximum volume. The car was being driven with full-beam headlights, even though German regulations stated that all cars driven at night should have dimmed lights to reduce the danger of aerial attack. The man in the front passenger seat spoke with a strong foreign accent.“Militari,” said Fitzroy Maclean, who had not spoken Italian for about three years.The Italian sentry, armed with a machine gun, looked vaguely quizzical. “Staff officers, di stato maggiore,” added Maclean. “Di fretto. In a hurry.”Another Italian soldier was standing off some thirty yards to the right. Three more, carrying rifles, observed proceedings from beside the guard hut.
