This was a cool story about what began as a very small operation and blossomed into a huge network of spies, saboteurs, and a bomb-making and weapons-making factory. Essentially the beginning of Britain's guerrilla forces. It brought together very brave, very tough soldiers and eccentric thinkers who developed all sorts of bombs from small sticky bombs to the “hedgehog” which was devastating against Japanese and German submarines. To read first-hand what a huge impact these players had on D-Day alone was amazing.
