In the years leading up to the start of the Second World War, Britain’s empire extended to every continent on Earth. As such, British forces fought in every theatre of the conflict alongside troops raised from the nations that made up the Empire and allied powers such as the United States, France and the Soviet Union. The end of the war sparked the end of the Empire which transformed into the Commonwealth as it is known today where the British monarchy serves only a ceremonial role in the governing of member states and thus the second World War was essentially the swan song for British imperial power.

While Britain had the weapons and technology with which its forces could utilise against the Axis powers of Germany, Italy and Japan, as with any weapon it was only as good as those operating it. Like all combatants in the war, Britain had its share of gifted warriors and tacticians and many of them developed a formidable reputation for destroying the enemy. Here we look at four highly skilled British military personnel the Axis forces learned to respect and even fear.
