A secret British regiment in January 1942 led a daring raid on Buerat, a Nazi-occupied Libyan harbor well behind German lines. This was a joint operation of the Special Air Service (SAS) and Long Range Desert Group (LRDG). The raid destroyed supplies, fuel, port/communication facilities vital to Field Marshal Erwin Rommel's Afrika Korps.
