The last of six programmes With the French Resistance
Towards the end of the Second World War the RAF Film Unit decided to make a feature length film about their part in supplying the French Resistance with arms and explosives for use against the occupying Germans. When they came to cast their film they chose a young man and woman, Harry Ree and Jacqueline Nearne , who had actually been parachuted into occupied France during the war to teach the Resistance how to make the best use of the supplies dropped by the RAF.
Now nearly 40 years after the war, with the help of the RAF's film, REE and NEARNE recall their lives with the French Resistance.
