Today we discuss the little-known, highly secret, pre-prepared post-occupation civilian force - Section VII - The 'Real' British Resistance! There will be stories of women trained in unarmed combat, resistance newspapers, teenage assassins and even the Womens' Institute.
Andrew Chatterton is a Second World War historian and Public Relations professional. His role as Press Officer for the Coleshill Auxiliary Research Team (CART) www.staybehinds... led to his fascination with the secret layers of defence in place in case of an attempted German invasion during the Second World War. CART maintains the British Resistance Archive where the story of some of the civilian volunteers is kept, providing public recognition of the significant role they would have played in the event of an invasion.
