George Soros worked for the Nazis as a youth.
Ludicrously brave people. They would be appalled by the state of this nation today. They deserve better. Patriotic Alternative.
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!
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.
Anyone know how they got the French townscapes in the middle of the war? … (Edit) Dogkata tells me it was a 1947 film, all is explained!
Forget the accents, etc. Brave people, who never asked to be called heroes.
Old new Intel has not change, except,the internet is much better and faster disinformation.
These Real SOE People and Wonderful Wonderful People in Every Sense
of the Word.

Laundry and skid marks were removed from under clothes.
A lot of this background found its way into the American film "13 Rue Madelaine."
So she said that the radio was an X ray machine. wonder if the gendarme knew exactly what it was and turned a blind eye?
What Ho ! The Good Old Days I loved it in my previous life.
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.
"…. and here are your lethal tablets." "How do they work?" "Here, I'll show you….." AAaarggggh,,,,,,(CRASH)
Trying to watch the commercials but occasionally they get interrupted by a film.
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.
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.
7:54….I WANT THAT TRAIN…..LOL…that is SOOOOO frikn AWSOME.
It would have been a lot easier if they repelled the German invasion in the first place.
Th one thing I dislike about these 1940's films is that BBC upper class accent otherwise I just love them
They we're very brave men/ women…
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.
I think that there was a couple of brave women it that war
Wow, Google maps was pretty good back then!
Kind of slow and borish, but still ok for an oldie.
He's wearing a béret, can you believe that? Only tourists wear bérets.
