A DEVASTATING RAID
Wadi Tamet Airfield, Libya, night of December 14, 1941. The commando team, a part of "L Detachment, SAS" and heavily armed with Thompson submachine-guns, Colt .45 automatic pistols and Lewes Bombs, stalk the young Italian soldier in the darkness of the enemy airfield, following him to the Officers’ Mess. Sounds of carousing are emanating from within.
Without hesitation the officer commanding the SAS detachment – Blair “Paddy” Mayne – kicks open the door. Two more commandos join as the 6ft 3inch Mayne strides inside. The 30 or so German and Italian airmen within pause their drinking to stare at the bearded, unkempt warriors standing before them, guns at the ready.

ODYSSEUS FILES is a YouTube channel dedicated to showcasing primarily military history content (plus certain other topics) in short documentary form, featuring interesting and quirky characters and stories from the late 19th Century on through the 1st and 2nd World Wars to the present.

It is not always possible to find 100% accurate footage to illustrate these cinematic short films, but where possible ODYSSEUS FILES strives to keep it authentic. Background music will always attempt to provide appropriate emotional mood.

Topics and content are thoroughly researched and portrayed in their historical context for both educational and entertainment purposes. We try our best to be accurate in terms of the data in our short films, but are not experts in all areas and are always learning new things, so if we get something wrong - please feel free to contact us. Also if you have an idea you believe may fit the scope of our channel - again - do not hesitate to let us know.
