I do agree that the SAS are Very likely to be the best special forces group in the world (i can't think of any that might be better than them) . I know 'THE ORIGINALS' were recruited from the Commandos and then given extra training The LRDG helped the SAS in the early days mostly by navigating the north African desert, the LRDG got the SAS to and from of the targets. And the SAS trained most of the best special forces groups in the world including alot of American ones.

Pretty much every special forces training on the planet is based on the SAS. The british was the first to ever create a special force.

With how good and well trained the sas are, in the film, London has fallen when the SAS regiment gets taken out so easily, and then Gerard Butler comes in to save the day, single-handedly. That took me right out the film I’m like no no would not happen

Remember, anonymity is the key to all these units, even down to the paras. Back in the 1980s an actor called Lewis Collins* took part in and passed the training for the paras - the character he played in a TV series was an ex para, he wasn't going to play someone who'd been a para without doing the training for himself which he did and passed without a hitch. When the series finished he applied to join the paras but was turned down because by that stage his face was far too well known, he went on to play similar characters in numerous military films before dying young from cancer. *he played the character of Bodie in The Professionals, when he acts the part of a well trained ex military in the series he genuinely knows what he is doing.

Regarding the books,they HAVE to get permission from the regiment and thoroughly checked before publication. Details of operational duties are left out or if they are left in,it’s because those tactics are old fashioned and had been replaced by new tactics.

There was a UK tv series back in the late 80’s called Wish Me Luck that is about UK female spies living in occupied France, sending back reconnaissance and carrying out missions. Although I couldn’t say for certain about just how factual it was, at the very least it is fictitious stories based on real situations. As women were the most sensible pick for this type of covert mission, as they could more easily blend into communities during total war at that time as young fit men would stand out more. There was even an Indian Princess called Noor Khan, who volunteered as a spy for the UK in occupied France. She was the first female radio operator for SOE (Special Operations Executive, which might be another organisation worth looking into but I think only existed for WWII and was a mix of military and civilian personnel) who was deployed into occupied France. Heartbreakingly, she was captured, t*rtur*d and executed by the SS in Dachu. Her code name was Madeleine and she was posthumously awarded the George Cross (the highest decoration for gallantry awarded to a civilian in the UK) and the Croix du Guerre, which I believe is the French equivalent.

The LRDG was completely separate from the formation of "L Detachment SAS" (L given to imply there were many more than just the one) The LRDG had existed for some time when David Stirling got his permission to form the SAS. The first operation was a disaster. After replacing losses and brainstorming, it was realised the LRDG could take/guide the SAS to their objectives and back. The LRDG was not a part of the SAS, although it did work with them.

LRDG were set up before the SAS for observation behind enermy lines by a 1930's desert explorer and were totally separate from the SAS formed later and when they found out parachuting was unworkable they used the LRDG as a taxi service till they got vehicles of their own then amalgamated.

If you go back and watch Casino Royale, it will make more sense to you now with the scene where he is analyzing Vesper on the train, and she does the same to him by noticing his watch and saying that if she had to guess he was a former SAS type etc. Various watches like TAG and Rolexes can be purchased by SAS during service and or given as retirement gifts. But they are unique, they are usually inscribed on the back with unique inscriptions to signify the specific soldier.

From what I have seen from EX SAS/SBS is they cannot say anything about anything they have done or know off, on one recent interview with Obi Wan, something like 6 months out of the service, he was out of the loop on most stuff so would not really be of use to anyone whom may think he would be a valuable target for interrogation.

I remember the Irish Sun did an expose on what they claimed was an Irish special forces regiment. They did their homework and found people who allegedly belonged to genuine regiments except they didn't [if that makes sense, they only belonged on paper] and published a long article on it wanting to know what was going on. Suddenly disappeared and there was a brief notice in the paper simply saying Ireland did have a special forces unit but that they were unable to say more than that. Allegedly they train with/work with the SAS/SBS but who knows if it's true, nobody even knows who is in it and for a 'neutral' country not sure anyone really wants to know. Certainly the govt did have to admit such a unit existed but they refused to say any more than that but given that - apart from commonwealth citizens - Irish citizens are the only other ones who can and do join and fight in the British military [the son of my old neighbour from Dublin joined the British Army, did his stint and re-enlisted again, made a proper full/long term career out of it] I could genuinely see them being trained by and working with the UK special forces. Neutral or not, we might have a small army but it does a lot in peacekeeping situations and it's not great stretch of the imagination to see how well trained experts in certain fields would be of a huge advantage. Probably to both countries in some situations if truth be told.

@@gobalmighty7463 I think so but allegedly there is a really REALLY secret special forces branch which is what they were claiming. so secret the members allegedly belong to other regiments, are ''paid'' as members of those other regiments, but when they looked at the other regiments the people themselves couldn't be found. Allegedly they would turn up again when it was time to retire but the bits in between nobody knew where they were. All the govt admitted was that there was a specific special forces unit whose members were NOT ones likely to advertise the fact, that they worked incredibly closely with the British military right down to the training and that was ALL they were prepared to say. This came out at least 17 years ago - when I lived down in the country at the start of the century, the Sun made good lining for cat litter trays and we had a number of cats - and it was being whipped up as Irish neutrality being non-existent because of these alleged super special special forces. There must be a certain amount of truth to it but interestingly a lot of the issue was condemnation of the Sun for actually digging into this and bringing it out rather than a lot of people criticising the government for keeping quiet about it. I suspect they were trying to whip up anti UK feeling at the time [no doubt something was going on politically or they thought something should be] but from memory it didn't work. They tried again recently by claiming that raining Ukrainian soldiers was also breaking Irish neutrality, they failed there as well and the govt quoted whatever bits cover neutrality from some international document [not interested enough to bother with the specific details] proving they were legally covered in what they were doing. So another failed attempt to stir up hatred - I suspect a lot of this [then and again now] is from the far right wing anti UK anti anyone who thinks differently to them brigade, pro Russia/Putin ''he's a fabulous leader and we should all want to support him'' branch of the political spectrum.
