The British SAS Sergeant Who Hunted SS Soldiers From North Africa to Germany

#BritishSAS #RegSeekings #SASOriginals A German sentry on a Libyan airfield in December 1941 did not hear the man come up behind him because the wind was loud and the man behind him moved like someone who had done this before. The knife went in low, under the ribs, and up. The man behind the knife was twenty-one years old, almost blind in one eye, the son of a Cambridgeshire farm labourer, and on the books of a brand-new unit nobody had heard of yet. His name was Reg Seekings. He was an Original. This documentary tells the story of Sergeant Albert Reginald Seekings, one of the sixty-six founding members of the British Special Air Service. From the disastrous parachute drop of Operation Squatter, through the desert raids at Tamet, Agedabia, Nofilia, Berka and Benina, into Sicily, Italy and finally the closing battles in northwest Europe, Seekings fought in more SAS operations than almost any man alive. The Distinguished Conduct Medal citation said he had personally destroyed more than fifteen aircraft and killed at least ten of the enemy. It did not need to say how. Everyone who read it understood. Discover the village boxer who walked into the Territorial Army office in Ely at eighteen, the Originals camp on the Suez Canal, and the close-quarters killing that took Reg Seekings from the Egyptian desert to the final German surrender without ever being broken. 🔥 In this video: The Originals: How sixty-six men in a tented camp on the Canal became the SAS.
