Greatest SAS Missions

An unique insight into the most daring and dangerous exploits of the world's leading Special Forces unit. From its first mission, the successful destruction of Rommel's airfields in the North African desert during World War II, to tracking down Saddam Hussain's Scud missile launchers in the Gulf War, Britain's Special Air Service regiment has proved itself time after time in high risk situations. Highlights of the series include the perfectly executed night raid on the Argentine Air Force during the Falklands War, and the storming of the Iranian Embassy in London, which made the SAS international heroes in the fight against terrorism. The missions themselves are brought to life through survivor and witness accounts, detailed and accurate reconstructions and cutting edge 3D graphics, which show the methodology behind the attack plans.
