The Voice of Resistance:
Resistance groups throughout German-occupied Europe relied on small radios like this one to receive coded messages from the Allies. Because possession of a radio or receiver was grounds for imprisonment, resistance agents needed radios that could be easily concealed. Receivers were hidden in all sorts of innocent-looking items, including books and food containers. This MCR-1 (Miniature Communication Receiver Km1) "biscuit tin" radio fit into a small cookie box. The British SOE (Special Operations Executive) issued many of these portable radio sets to their agents and French resistance groups. |
