Default Re: strategic impact of special warfare

Well in that case I would say that the SAS and LRDG in North Africa did an excellent job at shortening the war and without them the Germans would have been harder to defeat in the desert. As well as the commando raids along Fortress Europe and even the dropping of allied officers to organise guriella forces behind the lines. They were in my eyes invaluable.

Ok so what if the LRDG and the SAS in North Africa were never formed or not fully formed to any real means, could the Germans have won?
