Vojaško urjenje slovenskih pripadnikov misij Special Operations Executive (SOE) med leti 1941 in 1945Torkar, BlažThe Special Operations Executive (SOE) established a high-quality recruitment process and a four-level training system, both of which underwent numerous modifications during the war depending on the ... areas where SOE's agents were being trained. Usually, the training system consisted of preliminary, paramilitary, final and special training, inherited from the system used in Britain. Seeing that the demand for agents in the Balkans was too large, the SOE had to abandon the severe selection procedures for joining the programmes that it otherwise employed in the Near East. The Slovenes were trained together with the members of other Balkan nations at an overseas school in the Near East called Special Training School 102 (STS 102), whose syllabus differed from its classic counterpart followed in Britain. The candidates took three-month radiotelegraphy and paramilitary (raiding and sabotage) courses, complemented by a compulsory parachute course, which was the condition for being allowed on a mission. During the time of the training candidates had their own dossier containing their personal information and theinstructors' reports on the progress of the candidate in individual learning subjects. Of all Slovene candidates attending the school in the Near East ten completed the SOE training and six of them were subsequently sent on missions to Slovenia. During the training the candidates lived in segregated groups arranged according to their nationalities. The groups were under British administration and the candidates received payment from the latter as well as the Yugoslav government. The Slovenes proved extremely reliable and useful members of the SOE, prompted to undergo the training by a great love of their country and the desire to lead it to freedom.Source: Annales : anali za istrske in mediteranske študije = annali di Studi istriani e mediterranei = annals for Istrian and Mediterranean studies.
