From 1940 to 1944, women and men, young and old, in spite of their disability, threw themselves wholeheartedly into the struggle for the liberation of their country.

From 1945 to 1954, thousands of young Frenchmen embarked for Indochina.

The Franco-British intervention at Narvik, in Norway, in May 1940, passed relatively unnoticed because, at that very moment, Germany was launching its victorious offensive against France.

The Nazi World - 1919-1945

On 30 January 1933, Adolf Hitler was appointed Chancellor of the Reich. Since 1919 and the trauma of the Great War, the Nazis had developed a worldview whose only originality lay in its racist coherence and utopian impetus. They knew how to exploit the context of a major crisis — that of 1929 — to subjugate minds and seize power. Power was handed to them,...
