Sex and War

An estimated quarter-of-a-million homosexuals fought for Britain during the Second World War. At the time, homosexuality was still a criminal offence, but the authorities mostly turned a blind eye during the national crisis. Tonight's programme tells the story of these forgotten fighters, revealing the extent to which homosexual activity was condoned within the ranks.
