Translation?[edit]

I presume that the German translation is erroneous. The origin is, I guess, the German word for piece of theater , as in : Theaterspiel (theater play), Hörspiel (radio play), Lichtspiel (outdated, for piece of cinema). So, the German counter-intelligence played to be a resistance network via the radio which gives the term of Funkspiel. --Ft93110 (talk) 13:23, 22 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Rewrite[edit]

This article needs substantial rewriting. Funkspiel was a standard German counter-intelligence trick. There was not just one in France, but dozens if not hundreds of them over the course of WWII. The French one is not even the most substantial one. That took place in Holland and cost 64 Dutch SOE agents their lives, most of them being literally worked to death in Mauthausen. This is going to a bit of a job to get this right. I suggest marking this article as it stands as unreliable. Recoloniser (talk) 00:00, 23 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
