Other powerful groups, like Bomber Command, also despised SOE and resented loaning them aircraft for 'unethical' clandestine missions. (Their plan to win the war called for bombing Germany to its knees.) But with Churchill as their guardian angel the SOE survived and fought on for victory....

"The enemy has committed a major blunder by continuing to fight west of the Rhine."

-- General Montgomery, January 21, 1945.
