SAS Rogue Hero was 'lucky to survive'

Major Peter Weaver was an SAS pioneer who parachuted into occupied France before D‑Day and miraculously escaped a German attack in which only eight of his team survived.
He was among the first troops to reach and photograph Bergen‑Belsen — an experience that haunted him, though he rarely spoke about it.
His story is now the subject of a new book by Dr Will Ward and will feature in the BBC’s next SAS Rogue Heroes series; his daughter remembers him as courageous and quietly reliable.
