The Long Drop (The WW2 Commando Missions) Kindle Edition

4.1 out of 5 stars 35 ratings

Once you step out of the plane there's no way back...

French Resistance fighters uncover the position of a secret German store containing files and reports of vital information on the movement of troops. The details are passed to British Intelligence, who formulate an ingenious plan – to break into the heavily guarded store and steal the information – thus gaining the upper hand for a precious few hours.

This was a job that demanded a tough, ruthless, highly trained band of men. Men who could parachute into enemy-occupied territory and efficiently carry out an operation that depended on split-second timing – and who could get out again with the vital papers. Men like those of commando unit Special Group 404…

Another thrilling commando raid novella from a master of the genre, perfect for fans of Max Hennessy and Alan Evans.

    1.0 out of 5 stars Feels very dated , bit too much "Victor comic" meets Rambo.
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 17, 2022
    If the reader is hoping for a realistic portrayal of the war time army Commando units this is not it. Without spoiling it too much for people who may enjoy it the ideas of how these men were trained and prepared is a total fantasy. Written in 1969 the rather machismo story line has not stood the test of time.
