The Kilted Killer

Major Tommy Macpherson was a highly decorated Scottish officer who became known as the Kilted Killer. His unconventional guerrilla warfare techniques caused so much havoc that the infuriated Nazis put a 300,000 Franc bounty on his head at one point.

In one of his most legendary maneuvers, the 23-year-old British Army officer protected a pivotal bridge in the Loire Valley. Around 23,000 Nazis were stationed at the bridgehead when Macpherson managed his way into enemy lines and faced Major General Botho Henning Elster.

True to his reputation, the soldier single-handedly triggered the surrender of an entire Panzer division with no weapons, only his sharp intellect and a wee bit of bluffing.
