The SAS Soldier who Saved a Division of Americans from Ambush & Annihilation
In September 1944, a handful of SAS men in jeeps hit an SS-held village in eastern France… and somehow routed a force far larger than themselves. This is the story of Operation Loyton — the daring SAS mission deep behind enemy lines in the Vosges Mountains — and Major Henry Carey Druce, the multilingual raider who helped turn sabotage into an art form. From ambushes on German staff cars to desperate survival as reinforcements closed in, Loyton became a campaign of nerve, speed, and sheer brutality — followed by horrific reprisals against local civilians and captured commandos.
