Undermining Nazis: Paris' Secret Tunnels

Undermining Nazis: Paris' Secret Tunnels

On June 14th, 1940, Paris falls under German occupation. Two doctors, Jean Talairach and Rene Suttel, discover an entrance to the mines of the city. They start a mapping operation of the catacombs in order to help the Resistance and de Gaulle. This human story is partly narrated by Talairach himself, in a moving posthumous testimony, and by Rene Suttel's daughter. It features gripping reenactments, historic archives, and unpublished maps drawn by hand.
