As Allied troops liberate France, stories of French resistance are coming to light.
Two French-speaking GIs recently visited a farm on the Normandy coast. They saw a huge wine barrel in the corner of the barn. Thirsty, they asked:

The GIs did, and found a small radio tucked away in the far end.
“The Nazis said that listening to the radio was ‘verboten,'” the Frenchman explained, “but I had to listen to the news of my country’s fight for liberty.”
