The French Resistance

This documentary begins with tales from the French Resistance, escape lines operated by civilians, and the RAF Flight 161 Special Squadron that flew in and took out spies (members of the British Special Operations Executive), escapers, and evaders to and from England. The documentary emphasizes that, in France, working in the Resistance and assisting Allied airmen on the run carried a death sentence from the Gestapo. Nevertheless, men and women resisted occupation and performed this dangerous but necessary work for the honor of France.

The Stalking of the Red Poster

In mid-November 1943, the French Vichy police arrested 23 Resistance members of the "Manouchian Group", called after its commander, Missak Manouchian. 11 of them were Jews.
