On 14 August 1943, a specially adapted Halifax bomber took off from RAF Tempsford, an SOE airbase in rural England. Their secret mission was to drop vital supplies to the French Resistance, deep in occupied France. But their plane crashed into a village near Annecy, killing all six of the crew and five civilians.
