Intriguing Look Back at the 1940 German Spy Effort in France

I have seen the first part only of this two part espionage thriller set in Belgium in 1940 during the so called Drole De Guerre when the French were expecting a German invasion that hadn't yet happened.Pierre Renoir has a standout role as the head Nazi agent with the attractive Jany Holt assisting him.He visits a businessman who helps him distribute tracts and goes into the countryside to listen to radio messages.A French commissioner meanwhile is on the trail of the woman, who works in a hospital where she gets information from wounded soldiers and passes it along in a church. This commissioner uses a rare book store with a picture of Petain on a trap door for his communication and even carrier pigeons are brought in to send messages. The second part which I did not get to see involves the men who are entrusted to fight on after the Germans do finally come in, this will be the beginning of the Resistance.
