Secret Sussex Resistance

Sussex played a strategic role in establishing a highly secret 'British Resistance' during the Second World War.  Put in place to counter a German invasion of this country these men would have sabotaged communications and supply lines to prevent their march on London.  Relatively few people have heard of the Home Guard “Auxiliary Units”.  Formed in 1940 they were to counter a German invasion by delivering guerrilla warfare tactics throughout their localized areas.  Stewart started researching the Sussex Auxiliary Units in 1992.  Four years later, following extensive interviews with original patrol members and many hours in the field looking for the remains of their secret hideouts, his findings were published as “The Secret Sussex Resistance”.  The presentation will highlight his research findings.
