Review:

"Searches can be limited to specific countries or to certain broad subjects (eg Co-ordination, Refugees). Fuzzy search is available and search histories are displayed. Advanced search allows you to limit keywords to certain fields, allowing a much more targeted search for, say, New Zealand. In 'Browse Indexes' you can select search terms from six tabs: Persons; Senior Officials; Organisations; Document Type; Language; and File Number. This database also has four introductory essays, a film from the Imperial War Museum London on the work of the SOE (Special Operations Executive) including training of the agents 'Felix' and 'Kat', a chronology, and links to related archive resources."
