Yeah, I'm not that good at it either. Don't worry. All right, good. So for a long time, not a lot happened. And then World War II broke out. And World War II, by this time, remember, MI6 had proved its metal and worth in World War I. You had a whole decade or two where it just kept proving its worth. And so by the time the war broke out, you would think that they would be totally ready for this.

But they apparently got their footing fairly quickly and were very successful in basically generating a lot of intelligence coming out of different countries, including occupied countries in Europe during World War II.
