German Officers Laughed At Armed Jeeps — Then SAS Raiders Destroyed 37 Planes In One Night.

Discover the untold story of how SAS commandos armed Willys Jeeps with scavenged Vickers K machine guns and destroyed 37 Axis aircraft in a single night raid on Sidi Haneish Airfield—proving that ingenuity could defeat bureaucracy in World War II’s North African desert. This meticulously researched 14,000-word historical account reveals how Major David Stirling’s “mad” idea—mounting twin machine guns on defenseless Jeeps—was mocked by German officers and military logistics officers alike, until July 26, 1942, when 18 Jeeps stormed an airfield 235 miles behind enemy lines, unleashing 68 machine guns that shredded Stukas, Ju-52s, and Bf-109s in just 15 minutes. Learn how SAS mechanics salvaged guns from crashed aircraft, stripped Jeeps to bare frames, and strapped 17 jerry cans for 1,250-mile range—creating the first mobile assault platform that Rommel’s forces never saw coming. Based on declassified SAS war diaries, Major Mike Sadler’s navigation logs, and post-war German intelligence reports, this documentary exposes how soldiers who broke every regulation changed desert warfare forever—and why Field Marshal Montgomery admitted, “the boy Stirling is quite mad… but in war, there’s often a place for mad people.
