Espionage played a major role in the Second World War, which pitted the Axis forces (Germany, Italy, Japan) against the Allied forces (France, United Kingdom, United States, USSR).
- Each side developed its own intelligence services, tasked with collecting, analysing and transmitting information on the intentions, capabilities and movements of the enemy, as well as carrying out clandestine sabotage, propaganda and resistance support operations.
- The best-known intelligence services include MI6, SOE and OSS for the Allies, Abwehr, SD and GFP for the Axis, NKVD for the USSR and BCRA for Free France...
- It has to be said that espionage was greatly facilitated by the use of innovative techniques, such as the encryption and decryption of messages (Enigma, or Ultra), radio, aerial photography, double agents and resistance networks...
- Espionage also had a decisive impact on the course of the war, helping to prepare for the Normandy landings, foil Nazi Germany's plans and uncover Japan's atomic project, for example.
In this video, we take a look at the secret world of World War II spies.
We'll look at their perilous missions and the punishments some of them suffered after being captured...
