British historian Helen Fry joins Rhiannon Neads for the first installment of a two-part dive into one of the most crucial, but little-known intelligence forces of the Second World War - MI9.
Charged with facilitating the escape of Allied POWs, MI9 employed various ingenious tactics - including, but not limited to, a chocolate gun. Yes, really.
You'll meet the characters who made this organisation tick, from daring one-armed escapees to the inspiration for Ian Fleming's Q Branch.
From SPYSCAPE, the HQ of secrets. A Cup And Nuzzle production. Series producer: Joe Foley. Produced by Max Bower.
