Seven Sisters Patrol
The Patrol members worked at the Seven Sisters Colliery. They would have had a particularly clear knowledge of what impact their sabotage duties might have had when the colliery featured in “The Silent Village”, a 1943 film by Humphrey Jennings. The nearby village of Cwmgiedd is imagined to suffer the same fate as the Czech mining village of Lidice, all of whose male population over 15 were executed in revenge for the killing of Reinhard Heydrich the SS Reich protector by Czech SOE agents. The film shows the miners striking and then sabotaging their own mine with explosives before the reprisals that follow.
