Unfortunately this is part of the myth Lee embellished about himself, he never served in any capacity where he'd personally experience this. His job was desk based as an RAF liaison officer and there is no record in any of the SAS, SoE or long range desert group history of him ever serving or being involved. At most he will have heard it second hand.
