Gladiators Of WWII - The Norwegian Resistance
For five years during World War 2, the Nazis occupied Norway. They were plagued by organised resistance; relatively small numbers of brave men and women, operating in the bleak and mountainous countryside. Theirs was a war of small actions and narrow escapes...the threat of capture, torture, and death was constant...and successful attacks could result in reprisals on civilians. Fishing boats slipped in and out of the long Norwegian coastline, carrying agents and information. 'Radio Spied' monitored the German fleet in the distant and isolated fjords, and provided weather reports for the D-Day landings. Specially trained commando forces prevented the movement of 'heavy water', vital to Hitler's atomic bomb project. With the end of the war in Europe in May 1945, the 60,000 members of Milorg, the resistance network, took the surrender of the German garrison, now swollen to 365,000 men. One of the greatest achievements of the Norwegian Resistance had been to tie down large numbers of Nazi troops, who would otherwise have been fighting in mainland Europe.

War File, The - Europe's Secret Armies - Polish Resistance
Unlike many of the other European countries that suffered invasion during World War Two, Poland had the unenviable task of fighting foes on two fronts; the Germans from the west and the Russians from the east. As a direct result, the Polish resistance fashioned itself into one of the most professional and successful underground forces in Europe. From S.O.E. trained 'Cichociemni' to the Jewish population in the Warsaw ghettos, the spirit of the Polish people proved indestructible beneath the Nazi jackboot. Includes eyewitness accounts, rare archive footage and new location footage.

War File, The - Europe's Secret Armies - French Resistance
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. Includes eyewitness accounts and rare archive footage.
