In 1942, Lieutenant-Commander Ian Fleming was personal assistant to the Director of Naval Intelligence. They set up a unit of men who would go in with the front-line troops and steal enemy intelligence. Known as '30 Assault Unit', they took part in the major campaigns of the Second World War, landing on the Normandy beaches and helping to liberate Paris. 30AU's final amazing coup was to seize the entire archives of the German Navy - thirty tons of documents. Ian Fleming flew out in person to get the loot back to Britain, where it was combed for evidence to use in the Nuremburg trials.
