A horrific story about laxity in combat and not doing the basics...

 

1/4
July 3 1944.
At around 7am a force of 450 Germans attacked the forest camp of B Squadron, 1SAS, close to the village of Verrières in western France.
There were 48 men asleep at the time: 38 SAS, nine Maquisards and an American pilot, Lincoln Bundy (pic), recently shot down pic.twitter.com/euWrA7zgYU
