  1. sadly a lot of the agents where caught when they landed in france ,the germans had the codes ?some died in consontrasion camp

  2. Harry Ree ("Felix") has just had his recollections published in 2020.
    "A Schoolmaster's War" by Jonathon Rees. (His son.)
    Great read – which led me here!

  3. Thank God those whining today about wearing masks, social distancing, and about not getting their hair cut were NOT the stuff of those days. The good allies would have lost all around.

  4. This is a movie about the SOE but there is blood with the name …Al networks above the Seine collaped by failure or stupid mistake ..Buckamster ( head france ) coulld and would not give a answer .ECPECT IN HOLLAND 800 MAN /WOMAN DIED BECAUSE OF THE STUPID SOE ?? Why ??? The UK gives no answer butr tyhe blood wolk dolly the UK … WHY ??

  5. Surely most unwise of the radio operator to ask for wool of a colour not available in France. It is well known that there was an active knitting circle within the Gestapo and they would have been well versed in yarn colours, and probably patterns as well, that were exclusive to certain countries.

  6. Yes, the acting is a bit wooden, but some watching this may not know that the two main actors are Jacqueline Nearne and Harry Ree. They were actually SOE agents, parachuted into occupied France in 1943. So forgive them their lack of drama skills and remember, they weren't actors; they were the real thing.

  7. The resistance was organized by COMINTERN who's motive was to remove one occupying force and replace with another from base Moscow. Nobody falls for this propaganda now.

  8. see the book Lonely Courage by Richard Stroud The true story of the SOE heroines who fought to free Nazi-occupied France. Enthralling and moving. 1947 is the correct date it was shown.
