SAS Brigade in North-Africa
The Special Air Service Brigade, in short SAS, was established in the first half of 1941 in North-Africa by Lieutenant David Stirling. The official name of the unit read: L Detachment: Special Air Service Brigade, this to lure the Germans into thinking an A up to a K Detachment also existed which wasn't the case though. L Detachment was established from the remnants of Layforce, an experimental commando unit, commanded by Lieutenant-colonel Robert Laycock.
