Translate the text into English. The year is 1940. Europe is engulfed in war. On the south coast of England, a motley crowd has gathered: evacuees from the occupied areas, American troops, resistance units, refugees from Nazi Germany, and, of course, spies. Christopher Foyle, a middle-aged detective, would very much like to go to the front. But the trouble is that he is needed here, in his native Sussex, where Foyle is forced to wage his small war against murderers, thieves, black-market traders, and traitors.
