Austrians in British Commandos

Under hazardous circumstances, and sometimes behind enemy lines, refugees from Austria wearing British uniforms took part in special operations against the Nazi regime during World War II – as members of No. 10 (Inter-Allied) Commando or its No. 3 Troop.


But who were these men? How did they get from Austria to this unusual unit of the British Army? And what impact did their military service have on their future lives?
