Book description
With the SAS - Across the Rhine is the story of the latter part of Captain Ian Wellsted's military career with the Special Air Service, the first part of which was detailed in his well-received SAS: With the Maquis.After he had spent three months behind the lines in France from D-Day on Operation Houndsworth, during which his unit operated with the Maquis to disrupt the enemy's lines of communications, Ian commanded an SAS Jeep patrol during Operation Archway. Operation Archway was a British special forces mission which involved the 1st and 2nd Special Air Service Regiments acting in direct support of the advance of Field Marshal Sir Bernard Montgomery's Allied 21st Army Group into Germany in operations Varsity and Plunder. This crossing of the Rhine was one of the largest and most diverse operations ever carried out by the SAS.As part of this offensive, the SAS teams were thrust deep into German territory, often having to battle their way through the enemy lines to get back to safety. 'I quickly learned that there was no way to control an SAS battle,' Wellsted wrote of his first major encounter in charge of a patrol. 'The din was deafening - seventy odd Vickers and half a dozen Brownings all chattering together. The screech of ricochets and the fire of the enemy made my voice sound like the squeak of a mouse against a church organ. I was helpless.'In one of these encounters, as the war was drawing to a close, Wellsted's troop found itself surrounded. In the ensuing firefight, Wellsted was wounded, bringing his active frontline career to an end. This is a very personal account, revealing the many emotional as well as physical strains placed upon men in the fighting line.
