Asset Overview

Designed in 1941, the MKVII Paraset was a clandestine radio used by the Special Operations Executive behind enemy lines in Nazi occupied France, Holland, and Belgium. This radio set allowed clandestine operatives, Jedburghs, to communicate with Allied forces and coordinate resistance activities against the Nazi occupiers.

Additional accessories can be added to the contents of the case, namely a headset for listening to morse code transmissions, power cables, code books, maps, ciphers, etc. As always, I appreciate any comments, criticism, or advice you may have!
