Foreign Field Costumed Talks

The Special Operations Executive

We can provide a 45 minute talk featuring the work of the Special Operations Executive in Occupied States all through the war..

In 1940 Winston Churchill gave the order to "Set Europe Ablaze" and SOE took this order and did so in style. Throughout the war, ladies and gentlemen of SOE operated as spies, saboteurs, couriers and gueriilas in defiance of the Third Reich and operating without the protection of the Geneva Convention.

This talk and demonstration will cover a multitude of points regarding the SOE agent, all having been researched from the testimonies of veterans. Examples of these are below:

• What were you equipped with?
• What happened when you were captured?
• How does one strip a Sten gun ?
• How was SOE acknowledged after the war?

Following the talk our demostrator will take questions and queries and all the equipment can be handled to give a great interactive and educational experience.
