- The Special Operations Executive is, at times, an often-untold story of Britain’s war against Nazi Germany. Set up in 1940, this organisation worked in secret to derail Nazi progress in Europe, having set up numerous bases in Britain to help. Jack visits a country estate which once was a station dedicated to acquiring, testing and developing weapons for the S.O.E. agents.

Considering that Bletchkey park was part of SOE, it seems that the breaking of the Enigma code, which caused defeats on the U boats and it's effect in the Battle of Kursk surely shortened the war by years not months.
Interesting ! but at 7:12 the radios were NOT transistor, but did use a parachute dropped small stuart Turner steam engine to recharge batteries, the boiler could be fuelled by twigs and small wood.
Communication with agents in occupied countries was critical. “Between Silk and Cyanide” written by Leo Marks, head of codes for SOE, is very informative and covers the many failures ….the complete failure of the Dutch section …and the successes too.
Transistors hadn't been invented yet.
