One in a series of five movies that tell the stories of those caught up in the maelstrom of World War Two.
Movies: Dunkirk, Bombers and the Bombed, Evacuees, Secret Army, D-Day
Devised to encourage and organise resistance in occupied countries, Britain's Special Operation Executive (SOE) carried out some of the war's most hazardous work. The consequences of failure and capture were invariably torture and death.
