Yeah, I think so.

It's pretty obvious, I think, if you're part of a secret organisation and you know the secrets.

Yeah.

So, yeah, so he would have to go.

And then also, so if you think Ken's in a patrol with his dad...

if Ken gets injured on the way back from a mission and can't get back to the bunker, you can't leave Ken alive because if he's captured by the Germans... His dad would have to kill him.

His dad would have to either kill him himself or leave Ken with enough ammo to take out some Germans and then kill himself.

And if you think of all these patrol leaders of recruited friends, family, colleagues, trusted acquaintances, that's... And they're not like brutal...

bloodthirsty killers.

They're all normal guys.

So they'd be going out as a group of four or five

at night to blow up ammo and fuel dumps to gain access to an airfield.

So, for example, Germans are using a local airfield to refuel their planes and then the planes will take off and bomb our regular troops who are still fighting on.

York's units would come out at night, gain access to the airfield, so kill a sentry and mutilate his body for his fellow soldiers to find in the morning to scare the living shit out of them, go and blow up some planes,

or the fuel for the planes then get back to the bunker and then find another target the next night but if ken's got injured on the way in the sentries fired a shot or something it's injured ken he can't get him back you can't leave ken alive because he he so basically any information you have is deadly yes like that's why so that's why these men didn't tell their wives

Exactly right.

It's brutal.

It's so brutal.

And it kind of goes against this perception we have of Britain.

Because it all seems like, oh, little Britain on its own, a bit weak, unprepared, dad's army, all that.
