Radio Londres - Resistance Broadcast T-Shirt

Looks like poetry. Acts like sabotage.

Right then – not just any old t-shirt. This is a proper slice of history you can wear on your chest. Plastered across the front, in the unmistakable Walking the Ground typeface, are three seemingly innocent phrases the BBC used to kick the French Resistance into gear just before D-Day.

Harmless-sounding lines? Think again. These beauties told brave men and women to blow up railway lines, cut cables, and cause absolute havoc behind German lines – all without the enemy being any the wiser:

LES SANGLOTS LONGS DES VIOLONS D’AUTOMNE
BERCE MON CŒUR D’UNE LANGUEUR MONOTONE
LES ENFANTS S’ENNUIENT LE DIMANCHE

If you know, you know. And if you don’t, you’re about to learn. Because these weren’t just melancholy mutterings – they were the drumbeat of freedom.

Details (for those who read the label):
100% organic cotton – none of your nasty stuff
Unisex fit – built for all shapes, sizes, and trenchcoat types
Resistance grey or midnight black – stealthy
Printed in the UK using inks as clean as your conscience
Ethically made – because that’s what we’re about
History you can wear. Code you can crack.
Walk the ground – but do it in style.

A Bit About the T-Shirt (And Why You Should Check Your Size!)

Al Murray: Now, let’s talk about the T-shirt itself—this isn’t some cheap knockoff; it’s print-on-demand, which means no wasted stock sitting in a warehouse somewhere gathering dust. Instead, every shirt is printed just for you, which is a win for both history lovers and the planet.

James Holland: Absolutely. But, and this is important—check your size before you order. We don’t want loads of returns bouncing around, adding to unnecessary emissions. Pick the right fit, wear it with pride, and show the world you know your history.

This product is made especially for you as soon as you place an order, which is why it takes us a bit longer to deliver it to you. Making products on demand instead of in bulk helps reduce overproduction, so thank you for making thoughtful purchasing decisions!
