I'm reading this at the moment. A really fascinating subject which I've read a lot about before, as quite a lot happened very close to the relatives local area in southern and central Brittany. I've always thought the SAS and Jedburgh operations in Brittany would make a great tactical level skirmish wargame, not in the obvious 28mm but in 15mm using Peter Pig figures based in elements, with a 1:1 figure scale. It'll probably never happen but it's something I've had on the 'get round to it one day' list for a long time.
It's a fascinating subject. The headmaster at my high school was one of those who parachuted into occupied France to aid the Resistance. He was a tough old bugger. I never liked him, but he commanded respect.
