In June 1940, Britain was driven from the continent by Germany, and France was forced to capitulate.
Practically all of Europe was occupied by the Nazis, and in Britain fears of invasion and fifth-column activity were rife. Even if these challenges were overcome, and Britain could avoid occupation, how would she hope to win the war?
One of the answers was to mobilise the potential resistance in occupied Europe and harness it to Britain’s strategy. Hence, in July 1940, the War Cabinet set up the secret Special Operations Executive (SOE), whose task it was to foster and support sabotage and subversion in Europe.
