Some declassified documents from the Winston Churchill era becomes fresh fodder for this war movie. Set during World War II, this true story is about a top-secret assignment given to handful of criminals/mercenaries from the British Army to carry out a mission against the Nazi forces behind enemy lines. This secret British WWII organization was denoted the Special Operations Executive and founded by Winston Churchill, to effect irregular warfare against the Germans. It has now come to light that their almost impossible act helped to change the course of the war.
The film credits its basis to a book by Damien Lewis called Churchill’s Secret Warriors: The Explosive True Story of the Special Forces Desperados of World War II, published in 2014 and not the book by Giles Milton titled ‘The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare’ published in 2017. So don’t get confused.
