Call by the BBC to the French resistance that the invasion was on...part two ,and final part of the message

On 1 June, the BBC put out the initial warning- the first line of Paul Verlaine's Chanson d'automne ('Les sanglots longs des violins d'automne')-and during the evening of 5 June it broadcast the next line ('Blessent mon coeur d'une langueur monotone')-thus warning the French Resistance and German radio operators with the Fifteenth Army that Allied landings were less than two days away.
