1941-1945年法国的国有企业：特种作战执行官的法国电路的官方记录

在特种作战执行官的档案中，有一份由一名参谋、前国企法国分部成员罗伯特·伯恩·帕特森少校编写的报告，直到最近才得以发表。由于国企承担的工作高度敏感，该文件被视为机密文件，其传播严格限于选定的人员。现在，它终于可以向公众开放了。
1946年，随着国有企业停业，许多文件被“删除”，伯恩·帕特森编写报告的时间也很有限。尽管如此，他写的这篇论文很好地描述了法国国有企业的工作，法国是国有企业经营最广泛的国家。它概述了第二次世界大战期间特别行动执行官在法国的行动，详细记录了从一开始就存在的各个电路，包含了许多关于各个特工及其联系人的信息，针对德国人的颠覆活动日历，以及在战争中幸存的与电路有关的人员的姓名和地址。
伯恩·帕特森（Bourne Patterson）在撰写报告时，大量利用了特工的个人采访和战时情况汇报。
SOE In France 1941-1945: An Official Account of the Special Operations Executive’s French Circuits
In the archives of the Special Operations Executive lay a report compiled by a staff officer and former member of SOE’s French Section, Major Robert Bourne-Patterson, that until recently could not be published. Because of the highly sensitive nature of the work undertaken by the SOE, the paper was treated as confidential and its circulation was strictly limited to selected personnel. Now, at last, it can be made available to the general public.
Limited, also, was the time available to Bourne-Patterson in compiling his report in 1946 as the SOE was being wound up and many documents were being ‘weeded’ from the files. Nevertheless, the paper he wrote gives a good picture of the work of the SOE in France, the country where its operations were most extensive. It contains an overview of operations in France by the Special Operations Executive during the Second World War with detailed records of individual circuits from their inception onwards, containing much information concerning individual agents and their contacts, calendars of subversive activity against the Germans and the names and addresses of personnel connected with the circuits who had survived the war.
In writing his account, Bourne-Patterson drew heavily on personal interviews and wartime debriefings by agents.
