Winston Churchill secretly began preparing to fight the Nazi forces following the invasion of Britain, new reports have revealed.

The former UK Prime Minister ordered the foundation of a guerrilla movement which would attack annihilating German forces from behind their own lines, the Daily Express reported.

The recruitment for these 'special forces' began in the summer of 1940, with 3,500 men to spearhead this resistance, when Germany was battling for the air superiority.

The volunteers, who covered as the Home Guard for their activities, were trained in the use of explosives, taught to become silent assassins and were heavily armed.
