SOE Hero
Archival Summary & Scope
Robert 'Bob' Maloubier, known as "the French James Bond" and "Churchill's Secret Agent," led an extraordinary WWII life of espionage and daring. At 19, he escaped occupied France, trained with the Special Operations Executive (SOE), and returned for large-scale sabotage missions in Le Havre and Rouen. Maloubier suffered gunshot wounds, evaded capture, and was dramatically evacuated. Post D-Day, he deployed again to France with agents like Violette Szabó, engaging in guerilla warfare and destroying vital bridges. After a Force 136 mission in the Far East, his unparalleled experience proved instrumental in founding the French Secret Service. Maloubier's poignant and brutally truthful personal account of his time as an SOE and French Resistance agent is available for the first time in English.Categorization Notes
