War Documentary hosted by Piers Gibbon, published by Discovery Channel in 2004 - English narration







Information

------------------------------



The armies of the countries of mainland Europe were powerless to stop Hitler's war machine as it crushed all in its path during the early months of World War 2. The terrifying tactic of 'Blitzkrieg' saw city after city fall beneath the Nazi jackboot. The people of previously free counties began to look for a way to fight back. There were ways to defeat an army other than on the battlefield.

Europe's Secret Armies is a thrilling exploration of the stories behind the resistance and partisan groups that formed to fight a hated oppressor. These were civilian armies; made up of ordinary men and women left with no other option but to go underground to strike back. The series hears from those who were not content to bend the knee or were not prepared to be part of Adof Hitler's ever-growing Third Reich.

Freedom fighters risked torture, imprisonment and death throughout Europe: France's Maquis, the mountaineers of Crete, heroes and heroines from the Low Countries, Norway, Poland rose up, not least inside the tyrant's own land, Germany. Includes archival footage, re-creations, and interviews with actual resistance fighters.

1)  The Frech Resistance

Resistance to the German occupation of France began in 1940, but at first it was disorganised and spontaneous. We hear how the Resistance organised itself into a far more cogent force that carried out acts of sabotage, aided the escape of Allied prisoners of war and provided vital intelligence information for the Allied military. By the time the feared occupation of France by German troops had become reality, French resistance had already sprouted its first tenuous roots. Clandestine groups intent on disrupting and harrying the occupying force played no small role in bringing the Third Reich to an end. Sabotage, propaganda and espionage were just a few of the methods adopted by the brave men and women of the French Resistance. Supplied by the British, although initially riven by internal political dissension between the Communists and other factions, the French Resistance managed to create havoc behind the lines in the run up to the D-Day invasion in 1944. Features eyewitness accounts and interviews with survivors, as well as rare archive footage and a profile of resistance leader Jean Moulin.
