Arden Frontline Books SOE in Czechoslovakia The Special Operations Executive’s Czech Section in WW2 An Official History
The majority of the successful SOE operations in Europe took place in countries occupied by the Germans after the outbreak of war in 1939, Hitler’s forces being regarded as foreign invaders. In Czechoslovakia it was different. The country, which had large numbers of ethnic Germans living within its borders, had been occupied since 1938, allowing the Germans to establish a strong hold on the country which limited the opportunities for subversive action by resistance movements. This is the first full, official account of SOE in Czechoslovakia, compiled by SOE headquarters staff.

Off the coast of Newfoundland, aboard the USS Augusta, there began a meeting which could be seen as one of immense profit for the future of mankind. It was a meeting that allowed FDR and Churchill to get to know each other, and also produced a document, strangely never signed, called The Atlantic Charter – an eight point agreement designed to act as a guide for how the world’s nations should behave towards each other in the post-war years. Many of the principles laid out in this document are incorporated into the Charter of the United Nations.

During the two-and-a-half years fighting in the Western Desert of North Africa, the Long Range Desert Group was engaged in daring exploits and reconnaissance far behind the enemy’s lines. The LRDG would raid important airfields or attack Axis lines of communication along the Mediterranean coast, and then vanish back into the desert, to reappear hundreds of miles away. With its brilliant description of the harsh beauty of the desert, and its exiting chronicle of the LRDG activities, this book is as fascinating today as it was when was first published in 1945.

For thousands of inexperienced British and Indian troops facing a local resistance the methods and lessons of their predecessors were vital for their survival. General Sir Andrew Skeen’s unofficial but authoritative textbook was written with these junior officers in mind. His work provided them with pragmatic and practical information on hill warfare in an accessible fashion.
