Note

1. "© C. Zeno 1976 ... First published 1976"--Title page verso.
2. "Although all the characters depicted are imaginary ... the Special Service Company in the book is modelled on the Independent Parachute Company which acted as the pathfinder force for the British 1st Airborne Division ... I had the honour to serve in the Independent Parachute Company from 1942 until after the airborne landing at Arnhem in September 1944 ... I can, therefore, assure any sceptical reader that there were twenty-six European Jews in the unit, the majority of them German"--Author's note, pages 255-256.
