So if Britain falls, that's it, game over, essentially.

Chatabix
Specialist Guest: WW2 Historian Andrew Chatterton

So these guys understood that bigger picture, and they understood that not only essentially sacrificing themselves, but if they could slow up that German advance, even if it cost the local population, as in they were going to be killed, if they could slow it up enough to allow the British regulars to come in and counterattack and to push them back out to the sea, that's probably going to be worth it for that bigger picture.

Chatabix
Specialist Guest: WW2 Historian Andrew Chatterton

No, probably not.

Chatabix
Specialist Guest: WW2 Historian Andrew Chatterton

There's so many stories untold.

Chatabix
Specialist Guest: WW2 Historian Andrew Chatterton

I mean, we can go on to the section seven.

Chatabix
Specialist Guest: WW2 Historian Andrew Chatterton

Have we got enough time to chat about that?

Chatabix
Specialist Guest: WW2 Historian Andrew Chatterton

Yeah, yeah, I've got it.

Chatabix
Specialist Guest: WW2 Historian Andrew Chatterton

So those first two groups are purely anti-invasion.

Chatabix
Specialist Guest: WW2 Historian Andrew Chatterton

They are only to be effective probably because they're all going to be killed during that period, during that invasion period.

Chatabix
Specialist Guest: WW2 Historian Andrew Chatterton

Really?

Chatabix
Specialist Guest: WW2 Historian Andrew Chatterton

Oh, yeah.

Chatabix
Specialist Guest: WW2 Historian Andrew Chatterton

Yeah, completely.

Chatabix
Specialist Guest: WW2 Historian Andrew Chatterton

Completely.

Chatabix
Specialist Guest: WW2 Historian Andrew Chatterton

Oh.

Chatabix
Specialist Guest: WW2 Historian Andrew Chatterton

If the Germans had invaded and then occupied, all those guys in the auxiliary units and special duties branch would be dead.

Chatabix
Specialist Guest: WW2 Historian Andrew Chatterton

Yeah.

Chatabix
Specialist Guest: WW2 Historian Andrew Chatterton

It's interesting, isn't it?

Chatabix
Specialist Guest: WW2 Historian Andrew Chatterton

So Section 7 is after all that stuff's happened, after all units are dead, the Germans have defeated us militarily and are now occupying the country.

Chatabix
Specialist Guest: WW2 Historian Andrew Chatterton

Section 7 is started by, and this has only come out in the last few years, it's started by MI6 again.

Chatabix
Specialist Guest: WW2 Historian Andrew Chatterton

They shouldn't even be operating in the UK.
