Episode description as stored
<p>Amid the chilling tension of the Cold War, Ian Fleming captured readers with his character James Bond, whose missions were based on his experiences with the elite and secretive 30 Assault Unit in WWII. 30AU was established in 1942 by British Naval Intelligence and was overseen by Fleming. Their role was to capture secret German documents, weapon blueprints, and communication codes from behind enemy lines. They often targeted command centres, labs, and bunkers to recover valuable information and technology before they could be destroyed by retreating Axis forces.</p>
<p>Dan is joined on the podcast by historian Dave Roberts to uncover some of the true stories behind the plots of <em>From Russia with Love, Moonraker</em> and <em>The Man With the Golden Gun, </em>and the array of real commandos who inspired Fleming's Bond.</p>
<p>Produced by Mariana Des Forges and edited by Dougal Patmore.</p>
