Churchill's Secret Army
Churchill created a special intelligence agency to set occupied Europe "ablaze" using "ungentlemanly" tactics. His inspiration came, in part, from the Irish Republican Army which waged a guerilla campaign against British rule. The Special Operations Executive (SOE) engaged in espionage, sabotage, assassination, reconnaissance and, along with the American OSS, supported resistance movements. SOE ran a spy school, Camp X, in Canada where OSS agents were trained in "murder and mayhem." Many were women. Topics include: Intrepid; training; agents; operations; and movies inspired by SOE missions.
