About
Join historian and author Helen Fry to learn about MI9, the Second World War organisation that engineered the escape of Allied forces from behind enemy lines.
MI9 set up clandestine escape routes that zig-zagged across Nazi-occupied Europe, enabling soldiers and airmen to make their way back to Britain. Central to MI9’s success were figures such as Airey Neave, the first British prisoner to successfully escape from Colditz, and Mary Lindell, one of only a few women parachuted into enemy territory for MI9.
Helen will be revealing that not only did MI9 save thousands of Allied lives, it contributed to a massive intelligence effort that impacted on the Allies’ ability to turn the tide of the war.
