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. Camp X was also the site of Canada's code breaking program (Hydra). Topics will include: Intrepid; training; agents; operations (including the destruction of Nazi heavy water and the assassination of Reinhard Heydrich); and movies inspired by SOE missions. Instructor: Thomas Eastwood
