That was quick.
Correct on number 1) specifically Force 316 SOE (my father's unit)though insignia were at best somewhat unofficial so SOE is the correct answer.
2) Something used in an underhanded fashion is in a very literal sense correct as well - British SOE assassin’s wrist dagger or dart designed to be concealed under the sleeve.
Here is what it looks like out of the scabbard

She piloted 243 Il-2 missions and among other awards she was granted the Gold Star of Hero of the Soviet Union "posthumously" in 1944. Reports of her death were premature as she lived until 2009, surviving imprisonment as a POW.

RE: Just for FUN WW2 Picture Quiz - Bullet Proof
Obviously a military truck but whose? Hmmm pretty certain its not German, American, Russian Russian or British (Left side driver rules out all commonwealth and Japan as well) Most likely French possibly Italian.
My guess is French military transport circa late 1930's.

All solved except this one which I did't think was that hard.... Look again very distinctive bridge... Very famous bridge...

Here is another:
This pictures the scene a battle between Poles and Germans which like so many had a tragic ending for the Poles ... a most heroic effort. The brave, the just and the right are not always rewarded with victory.
