| 8/27/11 | The Shetland Bus. The Shetland Bus was the nickname of a clandestine special operations group that made a permanent link between Shetland, Scotland and German-occupied Norway from 1941 until the German occupation ended on 8 May 1945. Using modified fishing trawlers and later submarine chasers, and manned by all volunteer crews of Norwegian fishermen and sailors, the Shetland Bus was a joint effort of the Special Operations Executives (SOE), the British Admiralty’s Naval Intelligence, and the Military Intelligence Service of Norway’s government in exile.
Join host Dale Throneberry and Defense Media Network award winning author Dwight Zimmerman and hear the crucial, but now all but forgotten, true story of the SOE/Norwegian special operations program. |
