| Zusammenfassung: | "Follow the real-life adventures of Bill Adlam, from escaping Dunkirk and conducting commando raids to storming the D-Day beaches. Bill Adlam’s hair-raising escape from Dunkirk, his dramatic commando raids and his storming the D-Day beaches reads like fiction. But it all happened. Bill escaped the Dunkirk disaster via a bayonet charge into Nazi machine guns. He was presented with the Military Medal ‘for gallantry under fire’ by King George VI. Later, Bill volunteered for commandos: he thrived on adrenaline. Number 4 Commando took him to a surgical strike in the north of Norway. The stated objective: to destroy oil installations. It was a feint. Ian Fleming of the Secret Intelligence Service had masterminded the raid. Its objective: to help break the Enigma Code. Number 4 Commando then sent him on a raid to Dieppe in August 1942 to spike naval guns to enable a landing by Canadian forces. Bill’s commanding officer was Lord Lovat: cousin to Ian Fleming and (allegedly) template for the fictional James Bond. Bill’s prowess as a commando saw him headhunted to a top secret location in the wilds of Scotland. Here he trained others in the dark arts of ‘butcher and bolt’. On the morning o 6 June 1944, D-Day, Bill passed over the sands of Normandy in minutes. The next two months saw him up against Hitler’s elite army and Waffen SS divisions. The reader will ask the same question that Bill asked: how would he ever come out alive?" -- Amazon |

Bill Adlam’s hair-raising escape from Dunkirk, his dramatic commando raids and his storming the D-Day beaches reads like fiction. But it all happened. Bill escaped the Dunkirk disaster via a bayonet charge into Nazi machine guns. He was presented with the Military Medal ‘for gallantry under fire’ by King George VI. Later, Bill volunteered for commandos: he thrived on adrenaline. Number 4 Commando took him to a surgical strike in the north of Norway. The stated objective: to destroy oil installations. It was a feint. Ian Fleming of the Secret Intelligence Service had masterminded the raid. Its objective: to help break the Enigma Code. Number 4 Commando then sent him on a raid to Dieppe in August 1942 to spike naval guns to enable a landing by Canadian forces. Bill’s commanding officer was Lord Lovat: cousin to Ian Fleming and (allegedly) template for the fictional James Bond. Bill’s prowess as a commando saw him headhunted to a top secret location in the wilds of Scotland. Here he trained others in the dark arts of ‘butcher and bolt’. On the morning o 6 June 1944, D-Day, Bill passed over the sands of Normandy in minutes. The next two months saw him up against Hitler’s elite army and Waffen SS divisions. The reader will ask the same question that Bill asked: how would he ever come out alive?" -- Amazon Geschichte gnd rswk-swf Soldat (DE-588)4055409-0 gnd rswk-swf Operation Overlord (DE-588)4115412-5 gnd rswk-swf Zweiter Weltkrieg (DE-588)4079167-1 gnd rswk-swf Dünkirchen (DE-588)4013217-1 gnd rswk-swf Großbritannien (DE-588)4022153-2 gnd rswk-swf World War, 1939-1945 / Commando operations / Europe World War, 1939-1945 / Campaigns / France / Normandy Dunkirk, Battle of, Dunkerque, France, 1940 Guerre mondiale, 1939-1945 / Opérations de commandos / Europe Bataille de Dunkerque, Dunkerque, France, 1940 (DE-588)4133254-4 Erlebnisbericht gnd-content Zweiter Weltkrieg (DE-588)4079167-1 s Großbritannien (DE-588)4022153-2 g Soldat (DE-588)4055409-0 s Dünkirchen (DE-588)4013217-1 g Operation Overlord (DE-588)4115412-5 s Geschichte z DE-604 Adlam Nash, Linda Sonstige oth Erscheint auch als Online-Ausgabe 978-1-39903-568-2 Erscheint auch als Online-Ausgabe 978-1-39903-570-5 Digitalisierung BSB München - ADAM Catalogue Enrichment application/pdf http://bvbr.bib-bvb.de:8991/F?func=service&doc_library=BVB01&local_base=BVB01&doc_number=035244912&sequence=000001&line_number=0001&func_code=DB_RECORDS&service_type=MEDIA Inhaltsverzeichnis |
