What can we expect from this episode
A compelling documentary delves into an intriguing chapter of history, shedding light on the hidden narrative of how King George VI outwitted Hitler. Through the careful analysis of confidential archives and testimonies, this film unearths a complex web of espionage and strategic ruses employed to divert German attention from the pivotal Normandy landings on 6 June 1944. Amidst this intricately orchestrated plan, the involvement of both the Queen and the future Queen Elizabeth II adds another layer to the story.
Charting the monarchy’s evolution, from Edward VIII’s dubious reputation as a Nazi sympathizer to the reestablishment of trust among British intelligence agencies, the documentary offers a fascinating insight into this journey.
The story takes an unexpected turn as it reveals how one of the most closely guarded secrets of World War II was momentarily misplaced while in the possession of the king, until a timely intervention from the Queen Mother saved the day.
