British Fifth Column Waging Hidden War Across Europe
A London backed democratic fifth column fights the Axis from inside occupied and allied nations. Exiles use propaganda, sabotage, espionage, and covert arms drops to organize resistance in France, Belgium, Holland, Norway, Denmark, Poland, Czechoslovakia, Austria, Romania, and Germany. The network extends to Britain with 70,000 Austro Germans and Polish and Dutch volunteers, aiming for a coordinated counter-revolution on "The Day."
