British Renegades Warning List

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The British Renegades Warning List was a list of people that the British security services suspected of assisting the Axis forces during the Second World War. It was sent to SHAEF (Supreme Headquarters Allied Expeditionary Force) on 6 May 1944[1] in advance of the Normandy landings on 6 June 1944 to enable Allied troops to identify people in occupied Europe who might try to subvert the invasion effort.[2][3][4]
