SAS disbanded plaque
Went out for a meal last night with some friends to a hotel in Wivenhoe and came across this plaque in the reception - I’d never realised there was a connection to the SAS and wondered why the disbanding of the regiment would have taken place here?

I seem to remember a TV documentary “the Secret Hunters” which revealed that the SAS remained active after their official disbandment- specifically to hunt down the Nazi units responsible for the killing of SAS units captured in France. Can anyone confirm more details about it - or did I imagine the whole thing?
