The National Archives (TNA) “Special Operations Executive SOE + Greece” Kew’s collections + SOE in Greece basic bibliography

A basic bibliography about the subject ‘SOE activities in Greece’, containing books that are common both in English and Greek literature

What’s in this list:
I’ve tried once to make a list of all the books about SOE activities in Greece written by British. Well, this was a difficult task for me, since my access to UK published books was limited.
On the other hand, making a similar list with the Greek books on this subject was very easy for me, since I am studying the Greek literature about the German Occupation, the Greek National Resistance and the following Civil War for over 25 years.

I cross-checked these two lists in order to find out which books were common.
And here’s the result.

All books written by British and then translated into Greek,
and all books written by Greeks and then translated into English.
Not all books are 100% SOE related, but all of the them contain critical material and lots of references on SOE, agents and BLO activities.

As you can see, there are more titles at the end of the list about Crete and/or the Battle of Crete (May 1941), and there is also Tim Todd’s collection, as a special feature.

I call this list ‘a basic bibliography’ because I know very well that there will never be ‘a *complete* list‘ on any subject; there are always titles (or papers or articles) missing.
But I think a good 90something per cent was achieved.

Not sure if that was actually a real SOE patch, or even if there was one at all, but there’s not anything else.
