Just when you thought you knew everything about WWII, Secret War uncovers more incredible stories that exist under the radar.

It featured secret agents risking everything, working undercover in Europe to turn the tide against the Nazis, never knowing who, at any time, they could trust. Some became double agents playing both sides for the thrill of the danger, others did it just to stay alive. Always these extraordinary characters lived on the edge. Secret War tells their amazing stories.
The Special Interrogation GroupIn the desert of North Africa in the summer of 1942 a small band of soldiers were selected by the British for a unique mission. These men could speak fluent German because they were the children of German Jews, victims of the Holocaust. They were called the Special Interrogation Group, the S.I.G. and their task was to infiltrate the German lines. The last surviving member of the S.I.G., 93 year old Maurice Tiefenbrunner speaks just a few years before his death about the group's astonishing adventures.
