As we commemorate the 60th anniversary of the D-Day landings in Normandy, Meeting with Franck BAUER, the voice of Radio London. He said more than 500 times 'Here London, the French speak to the French'.
Portrait of Franck BAUER who is today the last voice of Radio London. He said the famous phrase "The French speak to the French" more than 500 times. He was also jazzman, semi-professional, drummer of Django Reinhardt after the war. At 86, the voice, memory and humour are intact. Franck BAUER decided to write his memories in a book called "40 in London". A book he wrote between Paris and the small town of GIROUARD in Vendée where he has settled since his retirement.
69 years ago, on June 18, 1940, General de Gaulle launched his famous call for resistance from England. On the London Radio team, there was Frank Bauer. Today, aged 90, he lives in Paris.
During the Second World War, Franck BAUER, who left for London during the German occupation, joined the resistance and was recruited by the BBC as a speaker for the French section of the BBC: Radio London. He says these famous words: here in London, the French speak to the French.
