- Sometimes operations go wrong. An operation behind enemy lines in the Nazi-occupied Netherlands quickly becomes a deadly battle for survival, marking the beginning of one of British intelligence's greatest disasters.

The old double, double agent trick. Fools them every time...until we pull out the old double, double, double agent move.
Surely you mean the treble double agent move or is it was commonly known "Todger's finger"?
Its almost like you shouldn't trust someone you know has no loyalty lmao
@@codyabbott4791 Ah, but how do you know if they have any loyalty or not? And how do you know if maybe in the middle of their being loyal, they do not change their mind?
Twas a quintuple cross.
@@jobymahon2871 With a double whammy!
This is a classic case of why the military/intelligence agencies have a SOP (standard Operating Procedures) and need to follow it to the letter. (no pun intended) The lives of dozens if not hundreds of people depend on following the procedures to the letter so manpower, weapons and equipment get to their intended targets safe and intact.
I beg to differ. The ability to take initiative, be creative, and unorthodox are just as important.
This should be made into a good movie..
Spy vs Spy..
These would be so much better without the loud background music thru out the whole thing - super annoying
Is that all you've got to say....LMFAO
I had never heard of this before. Absolutely captivating.
The guy being interviewed is quality I wish more people where direct like this 🙏
What a tragic story....

1972 U just *_mentioned_* paradrop, being a certain type of comms operator. Only reaction I got: 1 wry smile from Snr NCO.
Into the frying pan!
This was great!
Interesting documentary
That was a very interesting read and it was brought out for us to use 😅😢😢
Whats the name of the narrator? he is brilliant
OMG get you get more incompetent than the British on this one? Completely out to lunch the lot of them.
very good
Maybe Kim Philby and/or his Red pals had their slimy hands in it?
To be fair... anytime you're dropped behind enemy lines, something has already gone bad..
Barbara Sarah ( Sally ) Sparrow of FANY
======================================
has an as yet not fully understood connection
to French Section SOE.
In 1944,
she was selected by Major Lewis Gielgud
to accompany him to Europe,
for which she was promoted to Ensign.
This suggests
she was known to Gielgud previously,
she had skills he needed for his role,
for which she required the authority of a commission.
This contradicts the Wikipedia entry for Gielgud,
and suggests at least the possibility
that Gielgud was up to something
that is still secret,
or simply just not known.
To my knowledge,
Sally had a close knowledge of the Beaulieu area,
while her family in South Devon
were considered sufficiently secure
to have an auxiliary hide on the estate.
If anyone has come across any mention
of Sally Sparrow of FANY,
I would be glad to know more,
for her FANY records are sparse to say the least.

Imagine you train your oarachuted in ti holland your thinkig about what your going to do but as soon as you land your captured.
Knowing that your be exicuted if caught imagine the fear and all because of sloppyness
Could not Headquaters SOE tell some thing was wrong if there was no things blown up??
Very❤
Not a fan of how much and how loud the “background” music is.
The British never could have survived without US intervention in the war, and this is for 2 reasons: combat capabilities and NUMBERS. Germany fielded an army that was almost 7 fold the size of Britain's entire military strength at the height of WW2, and the U-boats were throttling their shipping even despite the convoy system put in place in 1941.
And English people will tell you they could have beat the Nazis with a straight face....

British arrogance
Exactly what I was thinking
what is arrogant about taking the war to the enemy?
@@johndawes9337I think they meant the complacency of SOE HQ.
English game in Holland 🇳🇱 where smartness was exploited by German counter- intelligence during WW2...Another times that reality revealed..US quantitive and qualitative capacity of weaponry rescued British friends total capitulation.
Yet british intelligence fooled tbe germans far more, operation mincemeat, D-day and breaking the enigma. Your bias is showing
Well that’s just embarrassing lol
I think I seen joe Biden jump out that plane rifle and all.

You ought to be thankful, with the internet, you're increasingly realising about your dumbness, student of 2 European wars.
