    These guys are the stuff of legend with all sorts of escapades being attributed to them. I'd love to know how much was true and how much was just myth or propaganda.

    Von Hippel on one side. Stirling on the other. I wonder how closely their ideas ran? Who inspired each? The Brandenburgers kicked off first, of course. They adopted methods I've only heard of the S.A.S. using later .....

    Von H's boys could have become a bit of a handful, couldn't they?

    Has modern day Germany got any equivalent unit, based on such learning? Or did the S.A.S nick it all and apply it to their own ?
