NATO's Secret Armies

A documentary about NATO's Secret Armies that were set up across Western Europe after the Second World War, these "stay-behind" armies were supposedly intended to help put together a resistance if the Soviet Union invaded their countries. They went on to commit terrorist attacks and false flag operations against their own populations so as to influence domestic politics.

The documentary describes how, from the late 1960s to the early 1980s, Western intelligence agencies collaborated with right-wing extremist groups to commit false flag terrorist attacks which would often be falsely blamed on left-wing groups. It features interviews with, among others, Daniele Ganser, author of NATO's Secret Armies: Operation GLADIO and Terrorism in Western Europe
