Forged Papers

on BBC Two England

Spies, crashed airmen and fugitives from the Gestapo often relied on forged papers on the French Riviera during the war. For the British, like those in this documentary film, papers were essential to avoid arrest. The British were not supposed to be there after 1940. From Nice and Monaco to Clermont-Ferrand, this film traces the stories of five Britons who, by fate, choice or duty, spent the war years in southern France evading the authorities.
