"In general, commanding a large number is like commanding a few. It is a question of dividing up the numbers. Fighting with a large number is like fighting with a few. It is a question of configuration and designation" - SUN-TZU

DURING THE SECOND WORLD WAR, British prime minister Winston Churchill created the Special Operations Executive (SOE) to conduct acts of sabotage and subversion and raise secret armies of partisans in German-occupied Europe. With the directive to "set Europe ablaze," the SOE undertook a dangerous game of cat and mouse with the Nazi Gestapo. An agent's failure could result in indescribable torture, dispatch to a concentration camp, and, often, a death sentence.
The SOE has and important Canadian connection: Canadians were among its operatives and agents behind enemy lines. Camp X, in Whitby, Ontario, was a special training school that prepared agents for overseas duty, and an infamous Canadian, code-named "Interpid," ran SOE operations in the Americas (Colonel Bernd Horn, "A most ungentlemanly way of war: The SOE and the Canadian Connection", DUNDURN, Toronto 2016).
