SAS Behind the Lines: Operations Hardy & Wallace, tells the untold story of two of the most audacious and successful Special Air Service raids of the Second World War.

Summer, 1944. In the chaotic weeks after D-Day, a handful of men from Britain’s 2nd Special Air Service plunged deep into Nazi-occupied France. Their mission: cripple German supply lines, sow confusion, and keep the enemy on the run.

Driving heavily armed jeeps bristling with Vickers K machine guns, they tore through villages, forests, and back roads, striking fast and vanishing before the Germans could hit back. This was mobile warfare at its most daring—born in the deserts of North Africa, perfected in the narrow lanes of Eastern France.

Working side by side with the French Maquis, the SAS transformed scattered resistance fighters into a disciplined and well supplied strike force. Together, they destroyed over 100,000 gallons of fuel, wrecked trains, ambushed convoys, and inflicted more than 500 enemy casualties—all while evading relentless pursuit.

From nerve-shredding street battles to tense night drops and desperate escapes, SAS Behind the Lines: Operations Hardy & Wallace is the gripping, true account of how a few dozen men waged a rolling campaign of destruction across 375 miles of enemy territory.

Packed with vivid detail, first-hand accounts, and edge-of-your-seat action, this is special forces history at its most exhilarating.

If you loved SAS Rogue Heroes or Band of Brothers, this is your next listen.
