    Do any SOE expert members out there have any detailed information on SOE Mission 'Atlow' that took place in April 1944. All I know is that it was a behind lines mission to sabotage the Italian railway system at Asciano near Siena involving the Partigiani with probably SOE operative leadership ?.
    There is apparently a file on the mission in the National Archives HS 6/827 but being overseas and with the current pandemic travel restrictions I am unable to travel to London.
