Melvadius Posted January 24, 2011 Report Share Posted January 24, 2011 If you thought it was only the Japanese who fought on after WW2 finished - think again. Some members may be interested to read this item, although at the moment rather than being 'news' as such this is simply a press release/ announcement, about research being undertaken at Coleshill House on the Oxfordshire/ Wiltshire border. Coleshill House was the base for an ultra secret last ditch resistance group set up in Britian during WW2 to be activiated in the event of a successful German invasion. BTW This organisation was so secret that men joined by invitation only into small 5 or 6 man teamss. No one has full records of who was involved or where all of their bases were located and their story only came to light when one of them contacted the police a few years back asking them to help make safe the explosives and sundry ordnance that he was still caretaking when he thought he may have to go into hospital some 50 years or so after WW2 ended.

Ursus Posted January 24, 2011 Report Share Posted January 24, 2011 I saw a DVD once about the planned British resistance if the Wehrmacht ever invaded. Fascinating stuff. They estimated they would have about 2 weeks to carry out their sabotages and assassinations before they ran out of supplies and were neutralized ...

Melvadius Posted January 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2011 If anybody wishes to spend time browsing further on this subject the CART website has quite a bit of interesting material although necessarily incomplete in some instances due to the secrecy of the groups operations and lack of surviving information.
