Behind Enemy Lines (2x5)

: 08, 2012

Royal Canadian Air Force bombing operations play a crucial role in disrupting German infrastructure ahead of the Normandy invasion of June 1944. In the process, dozens of Canadian airmen are forced to bail out over occupied Belgium and France. The Germans ruthlessly track these airmen and punish any who assist them through imprisonment, torture, and summary execution. Thanks to the courageous efforts of the Resistance and escape networks like the Comet Line, a lucky few do not fall into Nazi hands.
