Overview

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Radio Londres was a radio broadcast from 1940 to 1944 from the BBC in London to Nazi occupied France. It was entirely in French and was operated by Free French Forces who had escaped the German occupation. It served not only to counter the Nazi propaganda broadcasts of Radio Paris and Radio Vichy, but also to appeal to the French to rise up and to send coded messages to the French Resistance. In 1940, the BBC opened its studio to the first members of the resistance who fled France's occupation by Germany. Radio Londres was born and would become the daily appointment of the French people for four years. It opened its transmission with: Ici Londres ! Les Francais parlent aux Francais... ( This is London! The French speaking to the French... ), now a very famous quote in France. It was the voice of Free French Forces under Charles de Gaulle, who on 18 June 1940 made his famous Appeal of 18 June, inviting his compatriots to resist and rise against the occupation.
