Description

Station VICTOR: A Secret War in Berkshire During World War II, a small village in Berkshire was transformed into a top-secret communication centre. Station VICTOR, established by the American OSS in 1943, played a crucial role in receiving and sending coded messages to secret agents throughout occupied Europe and within the German Reich. The station's operations were shrouded in secrecy, but its significance is now revealed through declassified documents and official photographs. This book tells the story of Station VICTOR, from its conception and construction to the lives of those who risked torture and death to gather vital intelligence on Hitler's military machine. With new insights into this forgotten chapter of history, OSS Station Victor Hurley's Secret War offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of espionage during World War II.
