The Story Of The SAS

The Story Of The SAS, General Sir Peter de la Billiere introduces this documentary investigation into the history of the world’s most feared fighting unit, from their development as an elite commando unit in North Africa during the Second World War, to their establishment as the best special forces regiment in the world.

The Special Air Service (SAS) has its origins in the North African desert. It was formed as 62 Commando in July 1941 to undertake small-scale raids behind enemy lines. This drew its men from No 7 Commando and also operated under the title L Detachment, Special Air Service Brigade. A brigade was usually made up of around 5,000 men, so this name was a fiction designed to deceive the enemy. Two months after its formation, L Detachment was renamed No 1 Small Scale Raiding Force. It went on to target enemy airfields and port installations during the North African campaign (1940-43), often working closely with the Long Range Desert Group.
