I don't know if you have read this one, it does not deal with WWII but I did like it. Talk about name dropping, H. Ross Perot told a British customs agent of someone who could vouch for him - Lord Louis Mountbatten . . . I won't go into more details now but: On Wings of Eagles quote:
In December 1978 two EDS executives working in pre-revolutionary Tehran are arrested on suspicion of bribery. Bail was set at US$13 million (90 million Iranian toman). When H. Ross Perot, head of the Dallas-based company hears about it, he decides to extract his employees regardless of cost. He orders the firm's lawyers to find a way to meet the bail. He recruits a team of volunteers from his executives, led by a retired United States Army officer, to break them out by force, if necessary. . . . https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/On_Wings_of_Eagles
