It was the summer of 1940, and the vicious Nazis were seemingly closing in on the United Kingdom. The British Army was highly concerned and began looking for the most skilled men in the military, capable of living off the land and keeping a secret.
These elite fighters, known as the Auxiliary Unit, were chosen for their knowledge of the surrounding landscape and were the United Kingdom's last line of defense.
They were also some of the most lethal units in Europe.
Up to a thousand patrol units established their living quarters in secret underground bases all across the territory, digging up holes and using precarious furniture.
The Auxiliary Unit men were tasked with sabotaging enemy invaders and were ready to emerge and wreak havoc behind German lines at any moment...

Lt Col John (Jack) Christensen Every time I hear about Undergound Buildings I think of the UGB Underground Building I Worked In. It's Still There.

"What happened to the British Army’s secret bases?
During the Second World War the British Army built more than 600 underground bases to help fight the invasion of the Nazis. Many of these once top-secret units have collapsed and fallen into disrepair."

PO1 William "Chip" Nagel - Inquiring mind... certainly not that I'm that schooled on subject at hand. I've really learned a lot since becoming active on RP on Jan 30th, 2020.

PO1 William "Chip" Nagel Interesting story about the self anointed "Scallywag's"... who never were given the opportunity to use their exclusive & secret training. Lt Col John (Jack) Christensen looks like the British Air Force save the day... at least this one.
