A WW2 spy had access to an arsenal of gadgets and weapons that would strike fear into the enemy. Under the cover of darkness, SEO and OSS agents used these special tools to deliver war to the heart of the enemy on the shadowy, invisible battleground.

too many ads. wakes you up.
The problem with all the Secret Radio dropped behind enemy lines (All Sides of the Conflict) accountants dictated cost, thus the Regenerative Receivers were used which transmit a small signal, which can be traced by the enemy detection units. Most Merchant Navy vessels also employed this type of on board radio receiver.
The entire strategy needs to be used in Ukraine.
Aztec aircrafts?
Thank you for all your historic videos, very interesting, JV
How many times did Charlton Heston say that word “clandestine “?
32:04 Apparently something similar to this was used over the weekend 10/29/2022 against the russian fleet in a port in Crimea against a 5 year old russian frigate.
Like no.823 👍😀
Guerrilla warfare has been around thousands of years before the SOE!! Ismaili Assassins, Zealots, Sicarii etc. I’m sure it’s as old as warfare itself.
I thought he was an expert?!?!
And as always, re-stomp that groin.
Now I know who taught master Ken.
What a brilliant doc. Fairburn was a tough dude.
There was no Ministry of Defence in 1940. It was still the War Office. MOD was created post war.
Weaponry is weaponry. I don't like any mention of terrorism in connection with this. It's unjust. I do not believe in an aggressor/victim moral equivalence. If the Germans hadn't overrun Western Europe, SOE would never have been created. I'm sure that most of the Wehrmacht were not enthusiastic about what they were doing, but their capacity to make war needed to be destroyed by any means, fair or foul.
the SOE was 1' of the better way ahead of its time because MI-6' had dropped the ball big time as for the us OSS they took their que from the SOE and a bit from MI-6' and did grest for a rookie new born to the dark arts of old espionage and the type of rugged individual americans who had the out of the box thinking that irregular warfare has to have actor david nevin was SOE and american actor sterling Hayden was OSS and worked with and ran guns to tito's yugoslavs partizans and julia childs , crazy old ian Fleming was naval intelligence and many other personalities did work in the shadow's
I need one those books..when all else fails go for the groin..YES!!!!
These are great thank you so much for uploading really thank you
Best video in a while! Didn't want it to end, like the explosives hidden in the coal that must've caused some chaos
Ahh yes, I love the garrote never leave home without my commando wire saw.
It's a way of killing to detach life. 39000 tons. Is separation from the amount of merchant sea killed
Always interesting content
Fun fact…..the British empire invaded and ruled rather ruthlessly many countries
Another fun fact. I played in the remnants of camp x when I was a kid
I have this series on DVD but never watched this one, probably the best one, thanks! BTW, @37:00 they discuss a safety check in the coded radio message. The Brits ignored this rule in Denmark when one of their operatives was under the enemy. They kept parachuting spies into the German's control even though the radio operator tried to warn them by leaving out the safety check!
well kicking ANYONE in the groin WILL bring them down lol but damn its not cool
She's got a Sten gun.
Better off using it as a club, cuz it wasn't made to fire bullets from.
Now the Bren gun…that was a decent piece
The introductory footage is interminable.
"Dirty Tricks Department."
These shadow warriors are not to be confused with illuminati.
Ramifications of clandestine warfare…
