An incredibly rare wartime secret suitcase radio used by brave resistance fighters and just like the one featured on BBC's 'Allo Allo! has been discovered after 74 years.
The transmitter and receiver radio hidden inside a normal travelling case was built by the British for their Special Operations Executive (SOE) operatives to use behind enemy lines in World War II.
It was bought at a flea marker for just 100 euros by a British collector and is now being sold by C&T Auctions of Rochester, Kent, for £3,000.
