Description

The Danish Section: A Forgotten Story of SOE in World War II. In 1940, clandestine activities against the German occupation of Denmark marked the beginning of a sophisticated resistance movement. By 1944, with the support of Special Operations Executive (SOE), this organisation had become a highly effective intelligence gathering and sabotage force. Denmark's unique geography posed significant challenges for guerrilla operations, but supply drops of explosives, weapons, and ammunition arranged by SOE helped to harass the Germans and boost the morale of the Danish people. This largely forgotten story of SOE in Denmark was written immediately after the war by a SOE staff member and validated by Major General Colin Gubbins, the Director of SOE. A valuable study of SOE's activities in Denmark, this book sheds light on the dangers faced by agents, the logistical challenges they overcame, and their successes against a ruthless enemy.
