X Troop: The Secret Jewish Commandos of World War II Free Audiobook Download by Leah Garrett

This is interesting and well-researched nonfiction about the Jewish resistance that formed in France during World War II. Like so many other people, Leah Garrett's parents were caught up in the Holocaust, and she was taken away from her family as a child. She was adopted by another family and lived with them until they discovered she was Jewish in 1947. Her adoptive father got her out of France and into America on an illegal visa while he returned to rescue his wife and daughter who were still trapped in France.

X Troop: The Secret Jewish Commandos of World War II is the story of how a group of mostly European Jews, who had been trained in anti-Nazi guerrilla warfare by British Special Operations Executive, were sent to nine different countries in Europe and North Africa to fight against the Nazis.

With the recent release of a new book by Leah Garrett, X Troop: The Secret Jewish Commandos of World War II, it was released in audiobook format. This book is about the group that saved many Jews from Nazi Germany living under the false impression that they were going to be deported back to their country. The leader of this group, British Intelligence, asked for them to form a military team and infiltrate Berlin during the darkest hours.

"After the invasion of Poland, we saw our first opportunity in Europe to work with a very large group of Jews who had escaped from the Warsaw Ghetto and managed to reach an Allied military camp. We managed to get twenty-five people, who were all veterans of the Warsaw ghetto uprising, infiltrated into Bavaria and assembled this fighting unit."

The book, X Troop: The Secret Jewish Commandos of World War II tells the story of these Jewish soldiers who not only survived but also helped to change the course of war. Garrett tells their stories one by one, revealing that they came from countries all across Europe and moved around a lot before finally landing in British Mandate Palestine. There, they were some of the first to join other Jews in acquiring weapons and training for armed conflict.

During World War II, Jews were identified as the enemy by the Nazis. But, in reality, there was a secret Jewish force that fought back against the Nazis and the Axis powers from behind enemy lines. This force was known as X Troop. What is X Troop? In this book, author Leah Garrett recounts the exploits of these Jewish agents and their mission to save countless lives during WWII.
