Went the Day Well?
Went the day well? We died and never knew. But, well or ill, freedom we died for you.
The quiet village of Bramley End is taken over by German troops posing as Royal Engineers. Their task is to disrupt England's radar network in preparation for a full scale German invasion. Once the villagers discover the true identity of the troops, they do whatever they can to thwart the Nazis plans.

As films actually made during WWII go, this one has the unique distinction of being about the prospect of a British town actually being controlled by the Nazis. Basil Sydney portrays the German Major charged with bringing the villagers to heel in advance of the invasion - and with the help of a local collaborator sets about his task with ruthless efficiency. What makes this all the more fascinating a watch, is that all the characters - including David Farrar and Leslie Banks - are British - there are no German imports into this taut adaptation of Graham Greene's story.
