Master of stealth, king of sabotage, and SAS legend, Paddy Mayne was a remarkable figure for the Allies during World War II. Feared admirably in North Africa, and admirably feared post-war by the locals at his home, he became one of the most highly decorated soldiers of the war through his daring feats of bravery and unorthodox tactics. He has been often compared to the most elite fighter aces, having himself blown to pieces up to a hundred Bf 109 fighters and Junker-Ju bombers before they could even lift off the ground. Known for his roguish boldness character, he continued to awe through his later war successes in Sicily, Italy and Germany.

@ASmallPartofHistory Год назад

One of the most interesting facts about Mayne is his prowess as an athlete. Before joining the military, Mayne was a champion rugby player and boxer, and his physical prowess and endurance would serve him well in his later military career. Mayne was also known for his daring and unconventional approach to warfare. He was known to launch surprise attacks on enemy positions and would often use unorthodox tactics to achieve his objectives. This made him a highly effective soldier, but it also earned him a reputation as a maverick who was difficult to control
