Plugge broadcast from Fécamp and later from a new transmitter and studio at Caudebec. World War II began soon after the studio opened and, according to some histories, German troops overran the transmitters in 1940, using them to broadcast propaganda to Britain until the RAF bombed the Louvetot transmitter out of action. The French website "L'Histoire de Radio Normandie" remembers it differently: "After the Louvetot transmitter closed in 1939 because of the war, IBC went on broadcasting under the name "Radio International Fécamp" from "Radio Normandies first transmitter at Fécamp for "several weeks". On 10 June 1940 French troops sabotaged the transmitter on the eve of the German invasion.'
