About DBpedia

Those who made it back from St Nazaire rejoined the few who had not gone on the raid, and the commando was reinforced by the first intake of volunteers from the new Commando Basic Training Centre at Achnacarry. No. 2 Commando then went on to serve in the Mediterranean, Sicily, Yugoslavia, and Albania, before being disbanded in 1946. (en) 2-й загін британських командос (англ. No. 2 Commando) — підрозділ спеціального призначення британських командос, що структурно входив до складу британської армії за часів Другої світової війни. Загін формувався протягом війни тричі. Вперше це сталося 22 червня 1940 року; для комплектування цього спеціального підрозділу, що призначався виключно для проведення десантних операцій з висадкою парашутним способом у тилу противника, набиралися добровольці з усіх родів військ британської армії. 21 листопада 1940 року сталося формування 2-го загону вдруге, через те, що підрозділ першого формування був перейменований на 11-й батальйон SAS, а пізніше на 1-й парашутний батальйон. 2-й загін вже був класичним підрозділом спеціальних операцій і готувався по відповідній програмі. Першою операцією став рейд на Сен-Назер, у якому загін зазнав великих втрат. Одиниці вціліли, вони стали основою для формування 2-го загону командос третьої партії, який діяв на Середземномор'ї, брав участь у спеціальних операціях з висадкою на Сицилію, в Італію, Югославію, Албанію. Розформований 1946 році. (uk)
