'The Gestapo kept me three days in this interrogation house. They
especially wanted to know what I did after my escape, and precise
things on the organisation of the SOE. And just for fun I suspect,
because I had really not much to tell them, they pulled one of my
toenails out...' - Robert Sheppard, SOE agent The Special
Operations Executive (SOE) was a secret British organisation
created early in World War 2 to encourage resistance and carry out
sabotage behind enemy lines: in Winston Churchill's famous phrase,
to 'set Europe ablaze'. Drawing on the vast resources of the
Imperial War Museum Sound Archive and featuring a mass of
previously unpublished personal testimonies, Forgotten Voices of
the Secret War tells the stories of SOE agents, HQ staff,
diplomats, aircrew and naval personnel in their own words. As the
war unfolds, we learn of parachute drops into enemy territory,
torture by the Gestapo and nerve-wracking sabotage missions in
far-flung climes. Forgotten Voices of the Secret War is both an
incredible account of espionage during World War 2 and a fitting
testament to the efforts and sacrifices of a dedicated group of
courageous men and women.
