An account of the training and preparation SOE agents underwent in WWII and tales of their missions

Churchills Secret Army WWII Talk

The Special Operations Executive (SOE’s) task was to organize the resistance in countries that had been occupied by the Nazis and as Churchill ordered, to ‘set Europe ablaze’. This talk gives a fascinating account of the training and preparation the agents underwent and also stories of a few of the missions, some of which achieved amazing success, whilst other agents were betrayed.

Gillian Halcrow has been inspired to research and prepare an address to honour the brave man and women SOE agents who served their country in World War II.
