S.O.E., the Special Operations Executive, was a British secret service formed in July 1940 – soon after the fall of France – to foster resistance among the civil population in Nazi-occupied Europe and promote sabotage and subversion. Winston Churchill inspired the formation of S.O.E. From 1941 until 1944, F Section trained and infiltrated 429 agents into France, who ran 75 networks with over 30,000 local French resistance members.
