The Special Interrogation Group (SIG) was one of the most exceptional British special forces during World War II. Created to raid behind enemy lines, posing as German troops, the SIG was largely made up of German Jews who were all too aware of the dangers they faced--capture meant either death or deportation to a concentration camp.
The first covert operation undertaken by the SIG took place in June 1942. This operation involved attacking two German airfields at Matrub and Derna. The plan called for ten SIG operatives to wear German uniforms and escort 33 French prisoners of war.
In September 1942, Operation Agreement saw the SIG tasked with taking part in a raid on Tobruk, where they were to make up the land-based element of the attack. Disguised as POWs under “escort” by German-speaking SIGs, the group covered close to 1,700 miles of desert to reach their target. The ruse worked perfectly and the SIG went on to destroy a number of coastal guns before eventually being overwhelmed by Axis forces.
This is the history of the SIG, revealing startling details about the group, and moving insights into the men, many of whom were Jewish volunteers who were putting their lives on the line to fight against the evils of fascism in Europe.
