Moonstrike(1963)

Moonstrike is a British anthology series presenting self-contained stories of resistance fighters in occupied Europe during World War II. Each episode follows different characters and locations as they navigate the dangers of Nazi occupation, from sabotage missions to underground networks. Producer Gerard Glaister, who served as an RAF pilot during the war, drew directly from his own wartime experiences to shape the narratives. The series captures the tension and moral complexity of ordinary people choosing to fight back against tyranny, blending historical authenticity with dramatic storytelling. Moonstrike offers a grounded perspective on the European resistance movement, focusing on the human cost and courage required to oppose fascism from within enemy-controlled territory.
