In this session, discover the war years of the 1940s, both at home and abroad. Learn more about the war effort supporting the fighting regiments and most particularly the fascinating and almost unbelievable stories of misinformation, espionage and secrets. Delve deeper into the underworld of Second World War spies and see how the war fought in the shadows was every bit as important as that fought on the frontlines.
