- Quotes
[talking about the ethics of killing a head of state]
Rachel: I think we *should* look into the possibility of using a sniper. You know there's rumour that in 1938 the British attaché in Berlin suggested that.
L/BX: Why wasn't it taken up?
Rachel: You can't just kill someone because of what they might do in the future. Assassination's hard to justify when you're not at war - it's generally called "murder".
Featured review
Re: Phoonominal's review...
Regarding Phoonominal's review of this excellent drama-documentary, he (I presume) is substantially incorrect about the role of women in SIS.
In WW2, SIS recruited from all circumstances, anyone who could contribute to the cause would be eligible.
Consequently there were a fair number of women in executive positions, including planning.
In several cases women ran entire networks for SIS, e.g. Marie Fouchard.
(The same is true of SOE, particularly in the field).
So, my recommendation is to ignore Phoonominal's ill-informed guesswork and watch this terrific, well-acted and fact-based production.
