The Auxiliary Units were specially trained, highly secret groups of volunteers created
by the British government, during the Second World War, with the aim of resisting the expected occupation of
the United Kingdom by Nazi Germany.
The guerrilla units, sometimes referred to as a part of the British Resistance
Organisation, were initiated by Winston Churchill in the early summer of 1940. He
appointed Colonel Colin
Gubbins to found them. The Auxiliary Units answered
to GHQ Home
Forces, but were organised as if part of the local Home Guard. Read
