French Military

Nancy Wake, nicknamed 'the white mouse' for her ability to evade capture, tells her own story.

After living and working in Paris in the 1930's, Nancy married a wealthy Frenchman and settled in Marseilles. Her idyllic new life was ended by World War II and the invasion of France. Her life shattered, Nancy joined the French Resistance and, later, began work with an escape-route network for Allied soldiers.

Munich, 1935. Eva Braun a maintenant une place dans la vie du führer. Une petite place, car le projet d’Hitler de redessiner la carte du monde en rétablissant l’honneur et la pureté du sang allemand laisse peu de loisirs à celui-ci. Toutefois, ces actions ne changent rien à l’admiration sans bornes qu’Eva lui voue. Le régime nazi en a fait une privilégiée. Voyages, vêtements luxueux, maison dans un quartier huppé, voiture et chauffeur font maintenant partie de son quotidien. Il lui reste aussi ses amis, sa mère et ses sœurs.

This is the thrilling and harrowing story of the French wine producers who undertook ingenious, daring measures to save their cherished crops and bottles as the Germans closed in on them.
