In the Second World War, British soldiers were not able to penetrate everywhere, but instead underground operators blew up the railways, sabotaged factories and executed killing operations. Special Operations Executive agent unit's task was to harass the enemy by sabotage and resistance activities. Everything was permitted when the action was addressed to win the war. Agent unit inspired the James Bond, as Ian Fleming's created characters Miss MONEYPENNY and Q are based on real SOE agents. Finally the people who survived the war get their voices heard at Secret Agent.

Sabotage meant blowing up trains, bridges and factories whilst subversion meant fostering revolt or guerrilla warfare in all enemy and enemy-occupied countries. By D-Day on 6 June, 1944 SOE had become a feared organisation that could strike the enemy anytime, anywhere.Agent networks now stretched across Occupied Europe, linked to an army of resistance fighters. When the Allies landed, SOE struck with venom.In May 1945 General Eisenhower wrote that 'the disruption of enemy rail communications, the harassing of German road moves and the continual and increasing strain placed on German security services throughout occupied Europe by the organised forces of Resistance, played a very considerable part in our complete and final victory.'With no war to fight, SOE survived until January 1946 before being disbanded forever.

'In the darkness of Nazi occupation the Special Operations Executive fanned the flames of hope and kept alive the flag of freedom. For this alone it deserves remembering.' In 1940, with Adolf Hitler already in command of Europe and planning the invasion of Britain, Winston Churchill appointed a new top-secret organisation to get behind enemy lines, spark revolt and undermine Hitler's Europe from within. This organisation is what history now knows as the Special Operations Executive, or SOE.

Genre:.....................WWII Film
Language:.................English - No Subs
Picture:...................B&W
Runtime:..................2Hr07mins

Action in the North Atlantic is solid wartime propaganda with a rather endearing inner lining of left-wing politics, courtesy of scenarist John Howard Lawson, who based his screenplay on a novel by maritime specialist Guy Gilpatric. While running war goods to America's Russian allies, a merchant marine ship captained by Raymond Massey is torpedoed. The courage of Massey and his first mate serves as an inspiration to the survivors, who manage to navigate their tiny lifeboat to America, where they are lauded as heroes. After only the briefest of compassionate leaves, the crew is assigned a new Liberty Ship. Despite fears of being torpedoed again, the men successfully bring their cargo to Russia, shooting down several German planes in the process.

Meet the "wonder weapon" that could have won the war for Hitler.Called the Horten 229, the radical "flying wing" fighter-bomber looked and acted a lot like the U.S. Air Force's current B-2 — right down to the "stealth" radar-evading characteristics.Fortunately for the world, the Ho 229 wasn't put into mass production before Nazi Germany surrendered in May 1945. But American researchers boxed up and shipped home the prototypes and partially-built planes that existed — and now the same company that builds the B-2 has rebuilt one.
