Went the Day Well? is a 1942 film which was released in Great Britain as unofficial propaganda. In the (fictional) village of Bramley End, a platoon of British soldiers arrive on maneuvers. They are welcomed by the residents, until it is revealed they are German Paratroopers serving as the vanguard for the invasion. The villagers are round up and put in the Town Hall, where they try to get the word out to the Home Guard whilst planning an uprising. It is (loosely) based on a short story by Graham Greene, The Lieutenant Died Last.

Note that the plot bears some resemblance to the Jack Higgins novel, The Eagle Has Landed, and it's 1976 film adaptation.
