angie999 is an unknown quantity at this point
But the point is that the mission in November 1941 was carried out by former members of the Special Service Brigade, formed to carry out a different mission which was cancelled. Some of the survivors went on to form the SAS, but the mission itself was not carried out by the SAS, which had yet to be formed.

If you like, it is part of the SAS's prequel.
