520    The Special Operations Executive was one of the most 
       secretive organizations of the Second World War, its 
       activities cloaked in mystery and intrigue. The fate, 
       therefore, of many of its agents was not revealed to the 
       general public other than the bare details carved with 
       pride upon the headstones and memorials of those 
       courageous individuals.Then in 2003, the first batch of 
       SOE personal files was released by the National Archive. 
       Over the course of the following years more and more files
       were made available. Now, at last, it is possible to tell 
       the stories of all those agents that died in action.These 
       are stories of bravery and betrayal, incompetence and 
       misfortune, of brutal torture and ultimately death. Some 
       died when their parachutes failed to open, others 
       swallowed their cyanide capsules rather than fall into the
       hands of the Gestapo, many died in combat with the enemy, 
       most though were executed, by hanging, by shooting and 
       even by lethal injection.The bodies of many of the lost 
       agents were never found, destroyed in the crematoria of 
       such places as Buckenwald, Mauthausen and Natzweiler, 
       others were buried where they fell. All of them should be 
       remembered as having undertaken missions behind enemy 
       lines in the knowledge that they might never return.
