A historian and author of a new book claims up to 4,000 British schoolchildren were trained to become assassins by Britain’s MI6 secret service during the Second World War.
The new book by Andrew Chatterton has lifted the lid on the network of civilian saboteurs and spies trained to defeat Adolf Hitler’s army.
He said this included thousands of children aged between 12-15, who, if they are still alive, would now be in their 90s.
