This publication reproduces the 1944 Special Operations Executive Descriptive Catalogue of Special Devices and Supplies

There's no "expert" foreword droning on for 50 pages, just a facsimile of an original document in our possession.

The catalogue describes the various items of equipment, including weapons, available to SOE operatives during the Second World War

• Demolitions switches,
• Disguised charges,
• Silenced special weapons,
• Parachuting euipment,
• Underwater equipment,
• and more!

It's a rare glimpse into a once-Top Secret world
