Secret Army is a television drama series made by the BBC and the Belgian national broadcaster BRT created by Gerard Glaister. The series chronicled the history of a Belgian resistance movement during the Second World War dedicated to returning Allied airmen, usually having been shot down by the Luftwaffe, to their home country. The series was made in the United Kingdom and Belgium and broadcast on BBC1 for three series from 7 September 1977 to 15 December 1979. Lisa Colbert runs Lifeline, a Brussels-based resistance organisation which helps allied aircrew to evade capture and return home or... to safer neutral countries such as Spain. She is aided by Albert Foiret , proprietor of the Cafe Candide, his mistress Monique Duchamps and waitress Natalie Chantrens . Their already dangerous operations are put under further strain when Sturmbannführer Ludwig Kessler is assigned to the Belgian capital to assist Major Brandt with the evasion line problems.
