Beau Béte: The true story of a Royal Marine sniper assigned to Ian Fleming's WWII intelligence unit. https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B08R7XYHXW/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_fabc_TW56BX1E2YA74HX31DM0

Apparently given the nick name whilst invading Germany 45, by his fellow Marines of 'Death & Destruction Guy' and the title of 'Beau Béte' (Handsome Beast, an insult in France) by the FFI during the liberation of Bretagne 44...
RM R Guy 30AU sniper.

My grandparents met during the liberation of Bretagne 1944. She was a member of FFI helping allied airmen evade capture and return to England.

The book Beau Bête is their story...

He also went on to capture Von Braun behind enemy lines in Germany 45... in contrast to recorded history the Von Braun brothers did NOT surrender...
