Introduction

Enemy at the Door is a British television drama series made by London Weekend Television for ITV.

The series was shown between 1978 and 1980 and dealt with the German occupation of Guernsey, one of the Channel Islands, during the Second World War.

Outline

Hauptmann Anders is accused of supposedly passing on details of troop movements to Marguerite, a local girl he befriended, and is suspended from duty. He pleads not guilty but his arrogant stance does not help. Ultimately, he admits guilt but Kluge believes he is lying, to spare the girl who merely guessed where the soldiers were headed. Dr. Martel is released from prison, angry and shocked at what he has seen. He visits a distant Clare who is being cared for by nuns in a convent.
