<p>In compliance with the Fuhrer's directive on the imminent invasion of Britain in 1940, the Gestapo prepared a secret handbook for the occupation forces. The first part, edited by a senior Nazi who had been educated in England, is a detailed analysis of how the Germans thought the country worked. The second section is a list of the men and women the Gestapo had earmarked for immediate arrest. Written in August 1940, the handbook sheds light on the British political system, the establishment, the church, industry, the police, trade unions and even the Boy Scouts. The chapter on the British Secret Service was considered so accurate that the few copies captured at the end of the war were retained by the authorities. This translation reveals the historic document.</p>

<p>In August 1940, in compliance with the Führer's directive on the imminent invasion of Britain, the Gestapo prepared a secret handbook to be distributed to the occupation forces.

It is only now, more than half a century later, that a translation has been made, revealing the full and remarkable truth.</p>
