How to Become a Spy: the World War II Soe Training Manual
British Special Operations Executive
Marc Notes: During World War II, training in the black arts of covert operation was vital preparation for the ungentlemanly warfare waged by the Special Operations Executive (SOE) against Hitler's Germany and Tojo's Japan. In the early years of the war, the SOE set up top secret training schools to instruct prospective agents in the art of being a spy. Soon there was an international network of schools in operation in secluded locations ranging from the Scottish Highlands to Singapore and Canada. Reproduced here is one of the most comprehensive training syllabi used at SOE's special training schools, instructing agents on how to wreak maximum havoc in occupied Europe and beyond. Biographical Note: British Special Operations Executive (SOE) was a British WWII organization. It was officially formed on July 22, 1940, to conduct espionage, sabotage, and reconnaissance in occupied Europe against the Axis powers and to aid local resistance movements. Few people were aware of SOE s existence; at times it was referred to as Churchill s Secret Army or the Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare. After the war, the organization was dissolved on January 15, 1946. "
