Operation Jedburgh 1944 reveals how three-person Allied teams linked the French Resistance to D-Day’s breakout.
Secret teams, Normandy breakout, SOE, OSS, Maquis sabotage, rail disruption, guerrilla liaison, and behind-enemy-lines planning—explained in one documentary narrative.

In this episode, you’ll learn how the Jedburgh teams operated after D-Day, why radio coordination was both power and risk, and how synchronized sabotage slowed German reinforcements when Normandy’s outcome was still uncertain.
