Default THE RITCHIE BOYS

"SONS AND SOLDIERS" by Bruce Henderson, is the previously untold story of the young Jewish men who had escaped Nazi Germany and subsequently trained by the US Army to serve in intelligence and as interrogators at Camp Ritchie, Maryland.

They became known as Ritchie Boys. They returned to Europe as combat soldiers to gather tactical intel from captured enemy troops.

A book you won't be able to put down. Terrific read.

In 2004 a documentary was released about this incredible group of men. Haven't looked for it to know whether it's available anywhere, saw it at a film festival. Amazing story.

A specific commando group in the British Army "10 Commando", carried on it's order of battle a group of German Jews who did the same thing, but somewhat earlier. Also contained different groups from European countries overrun by German troops. Dave_n
