It would be cool if K and C could do some SoE operatives especially women to complement their French Resistance figures.

Having recently read a bestselling historical fiction novel about the "Jackdaws", the nickname given to the SOE female operatives leading up to D-Day, and hearing how their leader, who was recommended for the Victoria Cross, cheated out of it due to a jealous male superior, and later turned down the highest medal Britain awards to civilians because "there was nothing civil about [her] actions", I would certainly buy a set.

Jackdaws is a really good book. I read it years ago and believe it would make a good movie. Don't think its a "spoiler" to mention that the Gestapo agent fairly gets the point in the end. I completely agree with Damian as well.....some more female figures (and not just Resistance ones) would make it easier to sell the entire TS collecting concept to our better half's

Cheers

I would definetly buy these as a tribute to the bravery these woman showed in the face of almost certain torture and death.
