THE COMMANDO POCKET MANUAL 1940-1945

To those who recreates Commandos

The book was printed in 2012 and is pleasant to read. It's about how 
future commandos trained and how they should exploit their equipment fully.

The author has taken excerpts from various training booklets from that time.
Still interesting but it's a shame that they are not complete pamphlets.

Examples of pamphlets

Combined Operation Pamphlrt No:24 Cliff Assults
Combined Operation Pamphlrt No:27
Hardening of Commando troops for Warfare
All-in Fighting
Shooting to live with the one-hand gun

THE WAR ILLUSTRATED

When I bought this copy I did not know there was an article about a 17
year old male from Ostrava region in Czechoslovakia. Hi was controlled by
the Gestapo after a cinema visit and became forced laborers for the Germens.

This article is about his unbelievable journey from Poland through the whole 
Soviet Union to the Japanese occupied parts. It took him two and a half years
to get to England to fight side by side with his fellow Czech.

He earned his living among other things as body guard to a gangster in Shanghai.
