For a bit of history: Popski's Private Army (PPA) started as a demolition unit working in North Africa alongside the British Long Range Desert Group (LRDG.) PPA's specialty was blowing up Afrika Korps fuel depots but was later sent to Italy to deal with Pro-fascist Italian partisans and pockets of German resistance.
After Germany's surrender, PPA was tasked with hunting down Nazi die-hards in Austria and to find Heinrich Himmler. Interesting unit to say the least.
