Hack-a-Day had a link to this film. It is really good. There is some stuff about radio, and especially the S-Phone system. But the bigger message of the film is the danger faced by the heroic teams who parachuted into occupied France. As shown in the film, many of these people were young women who risked it all in the most dangerous of airborne operations. It is a reminder of how ridiculous the focus on masculine valor in airborne and special operations really is. Three cheers for the SOE. For all of them.
