In December 1941, Adolf Hitler boasted to the world that his Third Reich controlled the entire west coast of Europe from the Arctic Ocean to the Bay of Biscay. A broad band of concrete, steel, guns and troops followed the shoreline for 2,400 miles. He called it the Atlantic Wall. For the Allied invasion planners it became the most formidable defensive barrier of the War. However, a British planner in the War Office conceived the idea of a force of specially trained commandos to carry out guerilla raids against the German Occupation forces across the English Channel. It was the modest beginning of an effort to strike back that would culminate four years 1 ater in the launching of a vast Allied armada and the opening, on the beaches of France, of a western front against Germany.
