Behind Enemy Lines

In 1944, as resistance forces prepared for what would become the Slovak National Uprising, another struggle was taking place behind the scenes.

British and American intelligence officers, secret agents, radio operators, military missions, and resistance networks were working across occupied Europe. Slovakia became part of this complex intelligence battlefield, drawing the attention of Britain’s Special Operations Executive and MI9, as well as the American Office of Strategic Services.

But what exactly were these Allied services doing in Slovakia? How did they communicate with the resistance? What support could they provide—and what stood in their way?

Join historian Martin Posch for a fascinating exploration of the hidden intelligence story behind the Slovak National Uprising. Uncover the stories of the individuals who took part in these missions and the dangers they faced on Slovak territory.
