6 June 1944, France. As Allied forces land in Normandy, the French Resistance rises to support the liberation. Sabotage spreads across the country, and hope returns to occupied towns.
But in Bordeaux, the resistance carries a deep wound. André Grandclément, once a leading figure in the underground, made a decision that would divide his own network. After his arrest by the Gestapo, he agreed to cooperate with the Germans, surrendering large amounts of resistance weapons in exchange for the release of prisoners.
Some believed he was trying to save lives. Others saw a betrayal that exposed networks, led to arrests, and weakened the resistance at a critical moment.
As France moved closer to liberation, his actions caught up with him. In July 1944, resistance fighters captured Grandclément and put him on trial.
The verdict was final.
