A training film for OSS agents who are to be dropped behind enemy lines, covering cover and concealment, ambush techniques, etc.
This educational movie directed by John Ford for the US Military to teach people how to be a good spy starts off a bit dry (just a bunch of people getting lectured on different things).
How to Operate Behind Enemy Lines (1943), also known as Undercover, is exactly what it sounds like. The hour-long production, a how-to film woven into a dramatic narrative, was the first film to teach practical spycraft to wartime intelligence agents and was made for military use only, unseen by civilians until it was eventually declassified.
