Cichociemni (Polish SOE)

[StefanM]

Two different replica cichociemni eagles... no idea who the makers of these badges were?

From the UK National Archives collection (my photos are a bit suspect in quality) a declassified secret report by Lt. Col. H.M. Threlfall dated 30 May 1945 entitled:

Special Operations to Poland from the Mediterranean Theatre of Operations.

A fascinating overview covering abandonment of the Northern SOE Route; attempt at using N.Africa as a base for SOE operations; transfer to Italy; Force 139; air-lifts and pick operations; Wildhorn I, II, III, detailed report on Warsaw Rising support, Operation 'Freston'; Force 133; disbandement of the Polish SOE base in Itlay. Plenty of interesting stuff

Five more pages to follow

I will post the remaing pages in as many blocks as the forum software will allow.

One of the interesting things recorded is the vast amount of cash and gold dropped into Poland on some of the trips!
