Description

Explore the hidden naval history of World War Two with Secret Flotillas: Vol. I. This volume focuses on the clandestine sea operations conducted along the coast of Brittany from 1940 to 1944. Following the fall of France, much of the Western European coastline fell under German control, making sea transport a necessity for maintaining contact with the continent. This book details how secret flotillas provided vital intelligence lines for wartime Britain. These vessels were responsible for landing and picking up agents, as well as ferrying Allied evaders and escapees. These activities supported the essential work of the Secret Intelligence Service (SIS) and the Special Operations Executive (SOE). Written by the late Sir Brooks Richards, the official historian, this publication offers an authoritative look at the naval missions that operated in the shadows. It provides a detailed analysis of the sea-based missions that connected Britain to occupied France during one of the most significant periods of the twentieth century.
