.......And The Wall Came Tumbling Down
A BBC Radio Full-Cast Dramatisation of the incredible D-Day story
Format:
Pre-order:
This full-cast dramatisation tells the true story of the French Resistance plot to destroy Nazi Germany's Atlantic Wall in Normandy.
When France fell to the Germans in 1940, a slight, scholarly 28-year-old captain of engineers and professor escaped to England. In collaboration with General Charles De Gaulle and Andre Dewavrin, he organized an intelligence service with one goal: to secure a blueprint for Germany's Atlantic Wall and place it in the hands of the Allies.
What follows is a remarkable story of a clandestine spy network comprised of sailors, farmers, painters, housewives and children all unified in one purpose - the fall of the Third Reich. Richard Collier tells the story of how ordinary men and women from all walks of life risked torture and death in German-occupied Normandy to furnish the Allied forces with details of German coastal defences.
A riveting vintage drama about resistance, spies and plots foiled, accompanied by atmospheric music.
