The Western allies used Special Forces during the Second World War. The British established its famous SAS during the campaign in North Africa. The Commandos conducted raids against the occupied Europe and I have a wage recollection of them being deployed to the Pacific as well. The Americans deployed the Darby's Rangers and the Merril's Marauders in the Pacific. The OSS and the SOE operated deep behind the German lines. But what about the Germans and the Russians? The German had the Branderburg regiment and of course the famous raid to liberate Mussolini from captivity. The Germans also used English speaking "special forces" during the battle of the bulge. How effective were the German special forces?
The Russian might have used special forces in support of their partisans, but did they deploy special forces even further behind the German lines?
