The Paul family, Cécile and Albert, hide first. Albert Paul is a Belgian gendarme, Resistance leader, a hero and a martyr. Moffat hides in a church belfry, collects bugs for a museum, cleans out bee hives for a teacher who hides him when he's ill. He joins the "Randolet Group" in France, fighting the retreating German army, side by side with the French Maquis. Behind Enemy Lines also takes a look at the lives of WWII bomber crews who face death over enemy targets one night and the companionship of the English pubs the next.
