Europes Secret Armies: Resisting Hitler



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.

5)  The Secret Armies of the Low Countries 

Focusing on the plight of the Dutch people, this episode examines the resistance which confronted the Germans during their occupation of Holland. In a regime where distributing anti-Nazi leaflets carried the same punishment as being found with a gun, the men and woman of Holland showed extraordinary bravery as they sought to regain their independence. Featuring interviews with surviving resistance fighters as well as rare archive footage and dramatised reconstructions, this programme explores the stories of individuals and a nation that refused to succumb to fear.
