Jackdaws

Jackdaws is a wartime thriller set in May 1944, days before D-Day. Widowed mother Elisabeth "Betty" Clairet assembles five civilian women into an unlikely commando unit tasked with a dangerous mission: infiltrate a heavily fortified German château that serves as a critical communications hub and destroy it before the Allied landings in Normandy. With the fate of the invasion hanging in the balance, the women must overcome their differences, master covert operations, and survive behind enemy lines. The series blends historical drama with espionage tension as ordinary civilians transform into soldiers fighting for their survival and their country. Jackdaws captures the courage and sacrifice of women in World War II, delivering both intimate character moments and high-stakes action against the backdrop of one of history's most pivotal military operations.
