"World War II Secret Operations Handbook" lets you in on the skills and tricks used by the British S.O.E. (Special Operations Executive), the U.S. O.S.S. (Office of Strategic Services), the French Maquis and other special forces in combat in Europe, Africa and Asia between 1939 and 1945. Learn how to rig up a makeshift radio, how to pass undetected in enemy territory, how to live off the land and make shelter, and how to work as a sniper. Learn how operatives blow up bridges, roads, railways and arms depots and how they work with the local resistance. With more than 120 black-and-white drawings and with easy-to-follow text, "World War II Secret Operations Handbook" is an excellent guide to the techniques and skills used by the men and women of the special forces, techniques that are as relevant today as they were in 1945.
It shows how the Sonderkommandos of the time blew up bridges, roads, railways and weapons depots and how they operated together with the local resistance. The book is illustrated with more than 120 b/w drawings and shows how the men and women of Allied special units and resistance groups carried out their dangerous missions during the Second World War.
