The British Special Air Service - Who Dares Wins
Manage episode 322663509 series 2970124
The SAS is one of the first modern special operations teams in the world. Conceived in North Africa during World War II, they have been involved in almost every British conflict since.
Originally, they were shrouded in shadow and very few knew of their existence until they were placed on the front pages of the news during the Iranian Embassy hostage crisis in 1980.
They specialize in winning the hearts and minds of local populations in order to take countries back for the people and overthrow corrupt governments. They also specialize in hostage rescue, VIP protection, direct action, underwater demolition and the list goes on. Sit back with your tea and biscuits and prepare to be amazed!
