The legendary Red Devils were among the finest combat troops of the Second World War. Created at Churchills instigation in June 1940, they began as a single parachute battalion of 500 men and grew into three 10,000 strong airborne divisions: the 1st, 6th and 44th Indian, each composed of parachutists and glider borne troops.
