IAN FLEMING’S COMMANDOS: THE STORY OF 30 ASSAULT UNIT IN WWII
Book ID/图书代码: 04560011B44319
English Summary/英文概要: In 1942, Lieutenant-Commander Ian Fleming was personal assistant to the Director of Naval Intelligence – the dynamic figure behind James Bond’s fictional chief, ‘M’. Here, Fleming had a brilliant idea: why not set up a unit of authorised looters, men who would go in hard with the front-line troops and steal enemy intelligence? Known as ‘30 Assault Unit’, they took part in the major campaigns of the Second World War, landing on the Normandy beaches and helping to liberate Paris. 30AU’s final amazing coup was to seize the entire archives of the German Navy – thirty tons of documents. Ian Fleming flew out in person to get the loot back to Britain, where it was combed for evidence to use in the Nuremburg trials. In this gripping and highly enjoyable book, Nicholas Rankin, author of the best-selling Churchill’s Wizards, puts 30 Assault Unit’s fascinating story in a strategic and intelligence context. He also argues that Ian Fleming’s Second World War service was one of the most significant periods of his life – without this, the most popular spy fiction of the twentieth century would not have been written.
Chinese Summary/中文概要: 1942年,海军少校伊恩.弗莱明担任海军情报总监的私人助理,这位海军情报总监,就是詹姆斯.邦德虚构小说中首领“M”的人物原型。言归正传,弗莱明那时有一个绝妙的主意:为什么不针对到前线窃取敌人情报的战士建立一个“认可掠夺”的工作单元模式呢?于是这个组织便产生了,被称为“30突击队”,他们参加了第二次世界大战的重要战役,诺曼底登陆,在解放巴黎的战争中做出了贡献。令人惊叹的是“30突击队”最后竟然获取了德国海军部队的所有档案--要知道,那可是重量达三十吨的机密文件。伊恩.弗莱明乘飞机将这些战利品亲自带回英国,经过梳理这些资料在纽伦堡审判中都成为了重要的证据。作者尼古拉斯.兰金还认为,对于伊恩.弗莱明来说,参加二战是他人生中最重要的一段经历,否则也不会有二十世纪最畅销的间谍小说的问世。(兼职翻译-FSF)
