"By day they were ordinary civilians - from dentists and clergymen to
gamekeepers and roadmenders - in a Britain gripped by fear of imminent
invasion by Hitler's blitzkreig troops. 

The only clue to their alter egos might have been the pieces of paper in
their pockets - informing any police officer suspicious of their behaviour
"to ask no questions of the bearer but phone this number". 

But new details have now emerged of the highly secretive role played by a
"resistance" army of fit young men and women chosen as would-be saboteurs
and spies in the event of a German landing. 

In the dark days of 1940, the unit grew to about 6,000 members, who knew
little of each other and operated in small guerrilla groups. Recruited to
disrupt a German occupation force - including roles such as blowing up
tanks, lorry parks and communications - the teams prepared by carrying out
covert missions, known as "scallywagging", at night."
