Spyforce

1971 - 1973NR50m6.7

Australian Intelligence Officers during World War 2.

As the battle of WWII fiercely continued into 1942, placing a great strain on Allied Forces, an empowered Japanese Army swept through the South Pacific towards the Australian mainland. Sensing an immediate threat of invasion, civilian planters were enlisted and joined commissioned soldiers to form highly trained espionage teams known as SPYFORCE, supervised by Allied Headquarters back in Australia. Surrounded by imminent danger, these men were directed into classified sabotage operations deep behind enemy lines throughout the Pacific area to aid the Allied war effort.
