Khaki Blinders sheer poetry..

THE SAS were forged in the hellish heat of north Africa.

World War Two was going badly. Desert Fox Rommel was about to drive us out of Libya.

And in 1941, frustrated by goof-prone top brass, Lt David Stirling dreamed up a plan to liberate our besieged forces at Tobruk by attacking the enemy from the Great Sand Sea to the south.

His recruits were smart, tough, courageous – borderline crazy. They were rogues, misfits, eccentrics, free-thinkers… men prepared to swerve red tape and get things done.
