Schwerdt fell for it, Andreoli got the job, and, from that point onwards, SIM was entirely in control of the principal route by which SOE, for months to come, was to send into Italy its supplies of money, explosives and devices.
‘Punctually on the evening of 19 [February] Schwerdt passed the material locked in a suitcase over to Elda,’ recorded Piccardo of the first time it happened. This consisted ‘of nine carefully sealed packets and an envelope containing a pair of pliers’ and a day later all of it was in Piccardo’s hands.45 As with each subsequent delivery, Piccardo sent it down to Italy as diplomatic baggage for delivery to SIM headquarters in Milan. On this occasion SIM snapped photographs of what was inside. The various items included time pencil fuses, sticks of plastic explosive, and ‘fog signal’ devices for initiating detonations beneath passing trains. The British had boldly wrapped the fog signals in pages of the Daily Telegraph.
