    I wondered whether anyone has any information on the No 5 Special Wireless Group that carried out the radio deception work in the south of England as part of operation Quicksilver 2 (which was part of operation fortitude - the d day deception plan).

    I am desparately trying to find information on this unit

    Many thanks

    Welcome Quicksilver.

    There appear to be a couple of war diaries for them at the National Archives:

    - WO 170/2040, Special Wireless Groups, Companies, Sections: 5 Gp. 'A' Det. (1944 Oct.- Dec.)

    - WO 171/6032, 5 Gp. (1945 Apr.- July)
