WENT THE DAY WELL?

“Went the day well? We died and never knew. But, well or ill, freedom we died for you.”

The quiet village of Bramley End is taken over by German troops posing as Royal Engineers. Their task is to disrupt England's radar network in preparation for a full scale German invasion. Once the villagers discover the true identity of the troops, they do whatever they can to thwart the Nazis plans.
