OSS Norwegian Special Operations Group in World War
II - Bruce H. Heimark - The Operational Groups
(OGs) are the "unsung heroes" of the OSS, and this
story is about the Norwegian OGs, who operated deep
behind enemy lines in France in 1944, and in Norway,
China, and Indochina in 1945. OGs were the "Infantry
of the OSS." They were uniformed military personnel
designed as hard-hitting units trained to operate
deep behind enemy lines to conduct sabotage upon Axis
forces. The OGs were trained in parachuting, demolitions,
weaponry, commando tactics, communications, amphibious
warfare, and skiing.

Devils : Italian Navy Commandos in World War II (Classics
of Naval Literature) - Iunio Valerio Borghese,
Jack Sweetman (Editor), Paolo E. Coletta (Introduction)
- A reissue of the 1952 translation published by Andrew
Melrose Ltd. Vindicating the Italian navy in World
War II, Borghese, an Italian naval commander, explains
the numerous challenges presented to Italian seamen
and their successes in spite of impediments, particularly
in the Gondar and Scire operations. The author's comments
reflect his nationalism, and this history of the Tenth
Light Flotilla emphasizes the duty felt by the seamen
involved as evidenced by diaries and letters.
