Mike Thomson examines the origins of Britain' s wartime Home Guard and it's a far cry from Dad's Army. When Britain's back was against the wall in the dark days of July 1940 thousands of British civilians were being trained in the arts of garrotting, making bombs and killing quietly with knives. But Document reveals that the targets of this early Dad's Army weren't German but British. This private army of socialist revolutionaries, based at the end of the Piccadilly Line, feared that the British government would roll over like Vichy France. If it did it faced a civil war with this new British Resistance.
