Behind Enemy Lines:
The Battlefield's Secret Soldiers:
No assignment was so terrifying -- and so vital -- as operating behind enemy lines in war-torn Europe. Threatened at every moment by the fear of capture, torture, and death, agents risked everything to complete missions that only they could carry out.
To evade detection, spies took refuge in basements and sewers, in fields or ramshackle shelters such as French farmhouses. There, the whiff of gunpowder was a constant reminder of the surrounding peril, a crackling radio often their only lifeline to friendly forces. |
