Narrated by actor Kevin Bacon, DAD'S SECRET WAR: FRANCE 1944 focuses on two top-secret World War II organizations - the OSS (Office of Strategic Services) and the British SOE (Special Operations Executive) , American and British organizations responsible for silent, unseen, highly classified missions of critical importance to defeating the Nazis. The documentary shares the riveting, true story of an American who joined the British SOE and was parachuted into France with a small team just after D-Day to organize the French Resistance into a cohesive army.
