FRANCE: CONQUEST TO LIBERATION (Black/White, 1964, 48 Minutes): No other documentary but this succeeds so fully in the unique and sorrowful purpose of documenting life in occupied and Vichy France during World War II. No other documentary spends as much time explaining and illustrating the development of German domination from an attempt to appear friendly and good natured to forced conscription into the German slave state apparatus as this documentary does. Rather than make a sweeping survey of the subject, you'll see how Marshal Petain began as a man who, regardless of a capitulation to the Germans that General De Gaulle opposed, tried to intercede for his country and nonetheless became as the head of the Vichy state in the southern unoccupied part of France a virtual prisoner puppet of the Nazis; how the Prime Minister of Vichy Pierre Laval willingly collaborated with the Nazis; how the French in the northern occupied part of the country went from reconciling themselves to the occupation to active resistance against it, and much more. Unique newsreel footage not contained in any other treatment of this subject bring home not only the details of, but the emotions and reality of, their national plight. Anyone who wants a single source clear exposition of life in occupied France will need to have this in their video library.
SPIES: WOMEN UNDERGROUND (Color, 1993, 24 Minutes): An episode of the venerable cable television documentary series which in this episode profiles the lives and achievements of three hero French women spies and saboteurs working inside France during World War II -- Jacqueline Nearne, Noor Inayat Khan And Yvonne Cormeau.
France During World War II: France was the largest military power to come under occupation as part of the Western Front in World War II. The Western Front was a military theatre of World War II encompassing Denmark, Norway, Luxembourg, Belgium, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, France, Italy, and Germany. The Western Front was marked by two phases of large-scale combat operations. The first phase saw the capitulation of the Netherlands, Belgium, and France during May and June 1940 after their defeat in the Low Countries and the northern half of France, and continued into an air war between Germany and Britain that climaxed with the Battle of Britain. After capitulation, France was governed as Vichy France headed by Marshal Philippe Petain. From 1940 to 1942, while the Vichy regime was the nominal government of all of France except for Alsace-Lorraine, the Germans and Italians militarily occupied northern and south-eastern France.
Jacqueline Nearne MBE (May 27, 1916 - August 15, 1982), code named Jacqueline and Josette, was an agent for the British Special Operations Executive (SOE) in Nazi-occupied France during World War II. The purpose of SOE was to conduct espionage, sabotage, and reconnaissance in countries occupied by Nazi Germany and other Axis powers. SOE agents in France allied themselves with resistance groups and supplied them with weapons and equipment parachuted in from England. Nearne was a courier with the Stationer network operating mostly in the Clermont-Ferrand area. She worked in France for the unusually long time of 14 months and returned safely to England.
Noor-un-Nisa Inayat Khan, GC (January 1, 1914 - September 13, 1944), also known as Nora Inayat-Khan and Nora Baker, was a British resistance agent in France in the Second World War who served in the Special Operations Executive (SOE). The purpose of SOE was to conduct espionage, sabotage, and reconnaissance in countries occupied by the Axis powers, especially those occupied by Nazi Germany. As an SOE agent under the codename Madeleine she became the first female wireless operator to be sent from the UK into occupied France to aid the French Resistance during the Second World War. Inayat Khan was betrayed, captured, and executed at Dachau concentration camp. She was posthumously awarded the George Cross for her service, the highest civilian decoration for gallantry in the United Kingdom.
Yvonne Cormeau, born Beatrice Yvonne Biesterfeld (December 18, 1909 - December 25, 1997), code name Annette, was an agent of the United Kingdom's clandestine organisation, the Special Operations Executive (SOE), in World War II. She was the wireless operator for the Wheelwright network led by George Starr in south west France from August 1943 until the liberation of France from Nazi German occupation in September 1944. The purpose of SOE was to conduct espionage, sabotage, and reconnaissance in occupied Europe against the Axis powers. SOE agents allied themselves with French Resistance groups and supplied them with weapons and equipment parachuted in from England. Cormeau was acclaimed for the quality and quantity of her wireless transmissions. SOE cryptographer Leo Marks said that in more than 400 transmissions Cormeau never made a single mistake. Cormeau also survived an unusually long time for wireless operators who were vulnerable to detection and capture by the German occupiers. She was a recipient of the Order of the British Empire from the United Kingdom and the Legion of Honour and Croix de Guerre from France.
