Summary
Historian Andrew Chatterton reveals the long-hidden secrets of an undercover resistance network set up during WW2 in case of German invasion. He tells David & Joe about networks of civilians who appeared to be leading normal lives but were undertaking training in sabotage and guerilla warfare (and not telling their families what they were up to). David & Joe are hanging off his every word. He goes on to explain about a network of hidden underground bunkers which would have been used to slow down the Germans advance. They decide Andrew must get a lot of date nights with his fascinating stories. Joe decides he doesn't want the job of Patrol Leader as he might have to assasinate someone.
