What were some secret messages to the resistance on D-day?

In the movie "The Longest Day" this practice is illustrated. 'The long sobs of the autumn violins' sticks in my mind, though what it referred to is not known to me. Many French, Belgian & Dutch people risked their lives to aid Allied airmen trying to get back to UK from 1942 onward.
