'Hero' of Le Havre?

BBC Two
on BBC Two England

On 5 September 1944, 3,000 French civilians were killed by British bombers attacking the port of Le Havre. Not a single German soldier was killed.
One man, Captain William Douglas-Home, refused to obey a direct order and paid with imprisonment and disgrace. 'Hero' of Le Havre? tells his story and examines the perennial moral dilemma of war - when should military orders be disobeyed?
