Incredibly rare used SOE 'Striptease' jumpsuit used by an agent parachuting into enemy territory.<br />
<br />
An incredibly rare 'striptease' jump suit that was left in a barn in the Czechoslovakian countryside by a British spy over 70 years ago has been discovered. <br />
<br />
The camouflaged outfit was worn over civilian dress by the Special Operation Executive agent while parachuting deep behind enemy lines in World War Two.<br />
<br />
It was designed to be removed almost immediately so the operative could blend into his or her surroundings without arousing suspicion.<br />
<br />
The ripped and tatty suit was discovered in an outbuilding on the Czech/German border about three years ago.
