Synopsis
Although Denmark and Norway were occupied for most of World War II, their patriot forces aided the Allied cause with the help of arms, equipment, and training supplied by the British Special Operations Executive (SOE). Based on closed papers, this official history of the SOE in Scandinavia draws on agents' contemporary reports to describe vital operations in Scandinavia against the Germans, the techniques of the agents, and the role played by the Royal Air Force and the famous Shetland Bus Service in equipping and transporting the patriots. The book also pays a special tribute to the women of the resistance in Denmark and Norway.

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. First Edition. 1986, first edition. x,292pp. Maps. "The support of Special Operations Executive (SOE) for the resistance movements in Denmark and Norway in World War II, and Britain's anti-Nazi activities in Sweden even before the war began, made a crucial contribution to the Allied victory in Europe. In order to write this official history of SOE in Scandinavia, Charles Cruickshank was given access to secret government files which reveal for the first time the full extent of the heroism of British-trained Norwegians and Danes, the treachery of collaborators, and the Gestapo's inhuman treatment of hostages and captured agents. With the help of contemporary agents' reports Dr Cruickshank describes outstanding feats of sabotage carried out by patriot forces in enemy-occupied Norway and Denmark: the vital destruction of the Norwegian heavy-water plant on which Hitler depended for his atomic-bomb programme, attacks on shipping under the noses of the German troops, the insolent activities of the 'Oslo gang' which took on the Nazis single-handed. The part played by the RAF and the famous Shetland Bus Service in equipping and transporting patriots was also of crucial importance, and a special tribute is paid to the women of the resistance in Denmark and Norway." The book is in very good condition. No inscriptions. Unclipped dust jacket in very good conditio. Protected by removable, non-adhesive clear wrap. Seller Inventory # hWWII008
