Trying to KILL Rommel - Operation Flipper 1941 (Plus Squatter, and Sommernachtstraum) Crusader 5

Rommel's life hangs in the balance as Keyes' 11th Commando (Scottish) comes crashing into his villa at Beda Littoria (Sidi Rafa) in Operation Flipper. And Stirling's L Detachment of the SAS Regiment (Brigade at this point) launch their first mission ever - Operation Squatter. And Rommel also launches a raid into Egypt to figure out what the British are up to - Operation Sommernachtstraum (Summer's Nights Dream). So yes, it's all kicking off this episode!

History isn’t as boring as some people think, and my goal is to get people talking about it. I also want to dispel the myths and distortions that ruin our perception of the past by asking a simple question - “But is this really the case?”. I have a 2:1 Degree in History and a passion for early 20th Century conflicts (mainly WW2). I’m therefore approaching this like I would an academic essay. Lots of sources, quotes, references and so on. Only the truth will do.
