This week we welcome SOE historian, event professional and author Dr. Kate Vigurs who, after a long time studying SOE in France wants to rage that there are men in SOE as well. A lot of them, and they're getting overshadowed.

She talks Paul and Kyle about how SOE set up the BBC radio codes, how SOE managed to get the co-operation of French businessmen to blow up their own factories and how they shared the grisly fate that we remember the women for.

If you'd like to know more about this subject then why not buy a copy of "Mission France: The True History of the Women of SOE" from the History Rage Bookshop . This helps Kate, us and independent booksellers.

You can follow Kate on Twitter @historical_kate and see where you can see her demonstrate and perform by checking out www.historysmaid.co.uk
