Secret Army:

In this series, inspired by real events during World War II, the kind, intelligent and worrisome Albert Foiret runs both a café, which is the only notable public house in a small Belgian town, where locals therefore naturally mix with the Nazi occupation forces, and a just as publicity-shy (even his bed-ridden wife knows nothing) network of the Belgian resistance, devoted to the evacuation of shot-down Allied pilots to Britain.

Colditz

This grim and claustrophobic drama chronicles the lives of the prisoners in Colditz Castle from the arrival of the first British prisoners after Dunkirk until the liberation of the castle by the Americans in 1945. Colditz was a "special" camp, designed by the Nazis to hold high-risk and politically important prisoners. Many of the series' plots are based on real events.

High production values and acting in both series, edge of your seat suspense.
Highly recommended.

2. Youtube has Colditz

and it also has secret army.

Myself I get mine from other internet sources which I won't reveal for security reasons, some of the episodes I do watch on youtube which are in good video conditions.

One of the better roles for Richard Wagner, Colditz, who got top billing because of his star power. But was in half of the episodes

Both series are taken from from real files.
The Belgian resistance killed twice as many Germans during the war as compared to the French..
