In 1943, beneath a small Catholic church in occupied France, a secret war was being waged. Father Jean-Baptiste Moreau transformed his centuries-old wine cellar into a clandestine shooting range, training over 200 French Resistance fighters right under the noses of the Gestapo. This is the untold story of how a man of God became one of the most effective resistance organizers in the Loire Valley, using sacred ground as a school for liberation.
Saint-Rémy-sur-Loire was a quiet village until the Nazi occupation turned life into a nightmare of executions, deportations, and terror. When the brutality became unbearable, Father Moreau made an impossible choice: violate his vows or watch his people die in silence. What followed was an operation so audacious that it remained classified for decades—a priest who bet his soul on the belief that sometimes salvation requires damnation.
