The program, “History’s Secret Heroes: True Stories of Deception, Acts of Resistance, and Courage from World War II,” narrated by Helena Bonham Carter, focused on the story of Manfred Gans, part of an elite secret unit of commandos that took on the Nazis with advanced fighting and counterintelligence skills, playing a crucial role in the success of D Day.
