I'd like to find European TV series set during the time of occupation


Any info or suggestions? They don't have to be subtitled. I've seen one German mini series. I'm looking for something like a dramatised Sorrow And The Pity or a Foyle's War set in Amsterdam. I'd be surprised no occupied nation hadn't addressed the home front war years dramatically by way of a TV series. Resist, collaborate or just keep your head down. Nobody can be really sure what they'd do until....

No episode is less than good, most are very good but I have to select A Lesson in Murder, S1 ep3. This one has aspects of Britain at the time that are enlightening, a decent mystery and the charm of the Italian restaurant scenes to make it the best intro and representative episode. Reviewing posts here I read several stating this show hit its stride in its sixth season?? Couldn't disagree more. Under threat of cancelation the creators wrapped the war years far too quickly.

There was a series about the occupation of the Channel Islands by the Germans during World War 2. It was called "Island at War".

Island at War is a uk series set during the occupation of the Channel Islands.

Guernsey is a film on netflix adapted from a book that covers the same subject as Island at War.

Mistral’s Daughter and Till We Meet Again are two miniseries melodramas based on cheesy novels written by Judith Krantz. They both have storylines set in France during the occupation.

The semi-autobiographical film, Tea with Mussolini, depicts Italy during the occupation.
