[Milsurplus] Suitcase Radios

[K3PID]

I was watching a 1944 movie about an intelligence operation named 077. These were spies indeed as they were trained to go behind enemy lines and assume roles in private life then collect intelligence and ( here's the relevant part ) send the info back to London in CW using what looked like small suitcase radios.  Maybe more correctly they looked to be about the size of a large briefcase. They had to have been battery operated and it looked as if they were not very flexible that is a single band/frequency, a send/receive switch and a key...

Did these radio exist? Were they the original QRP rig?
