In this episode we uncover two extraordinary stories.

When the Second world war began, many people were forced into hiding to survive. They vanished from daily life. But it wasn’t only people who had to be hidden. Weapons, radios, documents, and even entire ships were concealed to keep them out of enemy hands.

We travel to Artis Zoo in Amsterdam, where people went into hiding in the most unexpected place. And we explore the incredible story of the Abraham Crijnsen, a Dutch warship that disguised itself as a tropical island to escape the enemy.

Sometimes the best hiding spot is in plain sight.

Note: References to "Germans" here mean Nazi Germany of the past, not modern Germany, whose people hold very different values and beliefs.
