    Individual episode details collaboration

    This episode in the "Secret Army" shows how children in occupied Belgium were used as a sort of Flemish/Walloon Hitler Youth (there was a Belgian fascist party called Rex that may have overseen this group), and how they could, even though children, intimidate their own countryman and endanger the rescue operation centering around the Café Candide. The series itself seemed to have been done with sufficient historical research, and shows the various forces--occupiers and otherwise--in both sympathetic and negative lights.This series was shown on our local History Channel in the late 90s, but hasn't been repeated, and I can't yet find it in video stores.Wouldn't mind seeing it again
