Note: 5:59 by saying the agents were "debriefed" I hinted at them being tortured - I should have said that outright for clarity's sake.

The Venlo Incident is, in my opinion, one of the more bizarre events in the build-up to the Second World War. While officially Germany and Britain were at war, no severe fighting had taken place yet. The Netherlands, in true Dutch fashion, was neutral and decided to attempt to stay neutral, just as they had during the First World War. So imagine the surprise when two senior British secret agents of the SIS, were abducted by a squad of German Sicherheitsdienst soldiers… on neutral Dutch territory.
