The TARDIS has brought the Doctor, Jamie and Zoe to Normandy in France, not in 1066 as intended, but in 1944, three days before the Allies are due to launch the D-Day landings.
Joining forces with French partisans, they learn that the Germans have been conducting secret experiments at a nearby chateau. These experiments form part of a plan that German high command believe will enable them to win the Second World War. The name of that plan? Operation Werewolf.

Part 1: The Secret Army
Producer David O'Mahony said: "A combination of story elements, budget constraints, and some sensitivity about the recent World War 2 meant that Operation Werewolf was shelved. The story caught Jonathan Morris's brilliant imagination and we ran with the original outline.
"Bringing a new World War Two adventure together with the Doctor Who characters was so much fun. A story with grit, high stakes and a historical twist.
"What made this story interesting was that there is no alien race collaborating with the Nazis, which gave us the opportunity to really focus on the Doctor and the human characters, showing the nuances and brutality of war through the eyes of the French Resistance.
"As with all our Lost Story productions, I hope the original teams would be proud of what we have created."
