Beschreibung
A Type 3 Mk II (B2) clandestine suitcase radio, English, 1940's, complete with transceiver, headphones, Morse key in unoriginal brown simulated leather case, 6 1/2in x 22in x 12in (165mm x 560mm x 305mm) Footnotes: The most commonly used British SOE spy radio used in World War II was the B2, designed in 1942 by Captain John Brown at SOE station IX, and manufactured by the Radio Communications Department at Stonebridge Park. The set was standard issue to both agents and Resistance groups in occupied territories. Unfortunately the B2 was heavy and large, and would often sustain damage when parachuted into enemy territory, so they started to be sent in broken down into units in 2 water tight metal containers which could survive a drop. The second problem for this radio was its weight, some 34 lbs, and its size, which made taking it on public transport around occupied Europe hazardous. For further information, see: www.cryptomuseum.com/spy/b2/ Literature: cf. Wireless for the Warrior, Wimborne Publishing Ltd, 2004.
