The show was inspired by and loosely modelled David Sterlings British Special Air Service (SAS) which used modified Jeeps armed with machine guns as their transport through the treacherous desert terrain, and Popski's Private Army, there were no similar American units at the time. The title of the program refers to the nicknames given to some of the British Commonwealth forces in the North African campaign (Rats of Tobruk or Desert Rats). Consequently, at the time of the original telecast many British viewers took offense at the dominance of American characters on the program, the result being that the show was pulled from the BBC after six episodes.[1] (The series was later shown on British satellite television in the 1990s.) The team also don't seem to have a commanding officer. (Wikipedia). Interesting. I'm not too surprised that such an American unit never existed. It was television drama/action (think: fiction), after all. Another show from about that time that I liked was "Twelve O'Clock High." I don't remember as much about it, but it seems like it was about our bombers trying to survive bombing runs over Germany. I had no idea what the phrase "twelve o'clock high" meant until many years later. The truth is extremely sad--staggering losses in men and airplanes; I'm sure that the television show minimized that and romanticized the bombing effort to some extent.

Zapier was not a publisher that I was familiar with, so I went to their website;s homepage and to the webpage that they gave, inside one of their books, as their website. I understood what the second webpage was all about (books that they publish like the ones that they offered free and you posted). I know that I'm not the brightest bulb in the chandelier, but when I went to their homepage and then navigated to another webpage or two on the site, I had trouble figuring out what exactly they were talking about.
