Hi,
www.combined-operations.com is worth a look.
Didn't the Commando order come about as a result of a botched raid on the Channel Islands early on?
I remember reading that during the raid, the commandos captured some Germans and tied their hands to keep them out of trouble. While they weere being guarded, one decided to be a hero, and the guard shot them all. Next morning, the Germans found the bodies and assumed they had been executed.
Regards,
Gordon
