Tommy Macpherson, the "Kilted Killer",  was a British World War 2 commando.

Parachuted into France, he worked with the resistance blowing up bridges, taking on an elite panzer regiment and convincing an German army of 23,000 to surrender.

Once, having sabotaged a German fuel dump he cooly sat at a nearby cafe in full Highland uniform including kilt, drinking a glass of wine.

He caused so much havoc that the Germans placed a 300,000 Franc bounty on his head. But, even that couldn’t stop the man they called the “kilted killer.”
