The other was led by British veterans in The Daily Mail, who decried the America-centric story. No matter that Easy Company’s story was, by definition, mostly focused on American soldiers, or that nobody had actually seen the series yet – it was blasted as “an absolute disgrace and an insult to the millions of brave Britons who helped to win the war”. Miraculously, two escaped, triggering one of the most-extraordinary Nazi-hunting operations, in an unrelenting bid to seek out those responsible for the deaths of their comrades.HBO’s miniseries Band of Brothers told the true story of Easy Company and their time in WWII. However, one battle was left out of the series. Damien Lewis, in this online event, will tell the tale of behind these group of soldiers in a story of courage, betrayal and the quest for justice. Breathtaking and exhaustively researched, ‘SAS Band of Brothers’ is based upon a raft of new and unseen material provided by the families of those who were there. But six SABU-70 raiders survived the ambush, the deliberate neglect in hospital, the torture, and execution. When the last of them had reached home, it was time to bring the culprits to justice. The hunt for the killers forms the last part of the book, the author going beyond those directly involved in the execution of the SABU-70 raiders (of the 100 or so SAS raiders captured after D-Day, only a handful survived the war) and looks at the SAS’s own War Crimes Investigation Team (WCIT). With plenty of exciting shows set to premiere in 2022, including The Staircase and former Doctor Who showrunner Steven Moffat’s adaptation of The Time Traveler’s Wife, HBO is hoping to continue its trend of successful TV series. From popular series like Sex And The City to Euphoria to Game Of Thrones, HBO already has plenty of impressive series under its belt. Surviving the disbandment of the SAS in September 1945, the WCIT continued to operate secretly alongside the War Office’s own war-crimes investigation unit and brought to trial the six men responsible for the execution of the members of SABU-70. All six were found guilty – three were executed, two were imprisoned, and one was returned to the French for a further trial.

He added: “Not just on screen, but when we were sitting around waiting, having cups of tea, anything like that – people were just riding me, treating me like s–t. I thought, ‘F–k these guys.

It's about a group of British paratroopers, what we'd call special forces today, who made two jumps into France following the Normandy invasion. The first mission is a success; the second one... not so much. I can’t wait to get started, I’m really excited. I’ve played at a few festivals and done a lot of London gigs in the last year, but I’m so excited to play at these venues with a wonderful heritage and I’m really looking forward to getting out there to play my new album, Mission Creep.

These guys really had it rough. Every turn was danger and the threat of death and torture. They showed out for a cause bigger than themselves. It was very admirable what they did. It is impossible to fathom the depths of courage and ingenuity the human being is capable of. I am filled with the greatest compassion, admiration and love for men and women who have gone to such lengths to put themselves in mortal danger to fight for human dignity against incorrigible, evil humans who delight in the suffering of their fellow mankind.
