Every Special Forces Tactic Used in WWII Explained
World War II wasn’t just fought by massive armies — it was shaped by small teams carrying out some of the most dangerous missions in history.
In this video, we break down every major special forces tactic used in WWII, from covert beach reconnaissance before D-Day to stay-behind operations deep behind enemy lines. We explore how elite units trained and armed resistance fighters, carried out amphibious infiltrations in fragile canoes, and executed high-risk parachute insertions under extreme conditions.
We also dive into glider assaults, desert raiding tactics by the SAS, and surgical sabotage missions that crippled entire industries with just a few pounds of explosives. From underwater demolition and human torpedoes to false flag operations and high-value target assassinations, these tactics redefined modern special operations.
Finally, we examine deception warfare like the Ghost Army, where inflatable tanks and fake radio traffic fooled entire German divisions.
