Once again, this story should remind people that our sexual preferences don't matter. They are our own. What matters is what, as a human, we bring to the table. I am straight but, my colleagues are not. They save people and care for them everyday. They're heroes everyday. Does it matter if they're LGBT? Nobody's asking when they're in crisis. People, let's look at the person human first
New meaning to "Killer Fashion"...
It takes a special kind of courage to risk your life knowing people will never hear of your exploits . To be willing to work and possibly die in the dark with not a person to bowing their head with your passing . God bless you all .
I followed this documentary with rapt attention. I had to remember to tell myself to breathe during parts of this. My late wonderful father (passing in 2017) was a medic on Omaha Beach June 6, 1944 and participated in the push eastward in the aftermath of D-Day. A voracious reader, he may have already known about this fellow, but if not, oh how I wish I could have shared this with him.
Now - watch the documentary on the “Limping Lady” spy of WW2. Why her life hasn’t been made into a movie is beyond me.
Tinker, tailor, soldier, spy.
These Résistance groups across Europe deserve a lot of credit for the Allied victory.
From over Ths Pond. We get little, except the odd book or movie about these events. This was an exceptional offering. Factual, critical and informative. Well done. More please.
The SOE, Resistance Fighters and other People who assisted them were brave beyond reason. Knowing what the outcome would be if caught. Never forget their sacrifice.
People are multidimensional. When given the chance they transform unveiling their amazing qualities!
That Lysander at
Very interesting - while the exploits of the SOE in France are probably widely known, I for one knew little of what happened in Belgium.
Fascinating. Thank you. The background music could have been a lot lower so we could hear the narrator better. Thanks again.
The bicycle pump gun was what you would call the very first of its kind silencer.
Many of the SOE’s agents were arrested, German officials had their codes and often intercepted their communications. Causing many to lose their lives, some were caught after they parachuted to the destination of drop off. Those caught were tortured by gestapo and imprisoned or executed.
This is a designer working for good to counter the designer working for evil (Hugo Boss).
When I lived in Belgium in the late 1970s, we talked to others who lived in our building about their experiences during WWII.
This would make a great movie
A thoroughly enjoyable dissertation on Amies role in SOE. The only pity is that the music is so loud as often to obscure the commentary, and at times make it almost unintelligible.
A TRUE PATRIOT.
