Before the soldiers came, there were spies.
Alsace-Lorraine, between the two world wars. Returned to France after decades under German rule, the region is divided by language, memory and competing loyalties.
Behind the political unrest, another struggle is already underway.
German money crosses the Rhine. Separatist movements gain influence. Secret agents infiltrate political organizations. Propaganda spreads. And as Hitler rises to power, men who claim to be fighting for Alsace find themselves drawn ever closer to Nazi Germany.
Alsace-Lorraine, between the two world wars. Returned to France after decades under German rule, the region is divided by language, memory and competing loyalties.
Behind the political unrest, another struggle is already underway.
German money crosses the Rhine. Separatist movements gain influence. Secret agents infiltrate political organizations. Propaganda spreads. And as Hitler rises to power, men who claim to be fighting for Alsace find themselves drawn ever closer to Nazi Germany.
But others see the danger coming.
Jewish doctors, students and activists organize, confront antisemitism and prepare to resist. Some will later forge documents, create escape networks and risk their lives to save others.
Based on true events, Shadows over Alsace brings to life an extraordinary and little-known chapter of European history.
Part political thriller, part espionage drama and part story of courage, it reveals how the next war was already being fought long before the German army crossed the border.
The invasion came in 1940.
The shadows had arrived years earlier.
