Synopsis: |
With the fall of France the entire coastline of Western Europe was in German hands. Clandestine sea transport operations provided lines of vital intelligence for wartime Britain. These "secret flotillas" landed and picked up agents in and from France and French North Africa, and ferried Allied evaders and escapees. They were crucial to the SIS (Secret Intelligent Service) and the SOE (Special Operations Executive). This publication describes and analyzes the 200 operations that took place during World War II. |
