PLOT SUMMARY
English
Led by the inspirational General Charles De Gaulle, the Free French refused
to accept the armistice that their country had signed with Germany. They were
branded as traitors by the official Vichy French government in France, but a
few thousand men crossed the Channel to join the fight in Britain. In the Libyan
desert in June 1942, Rommel and his Afrikakorps were driving the British Eight
Army back towards Egypt. But at Bir Hacheim they met a pocket of fierce
resistance: less than 4,000 Free French troops held the Germans for several weeks,
before breaking out of the Axis encirclement to regain the British lines. It was a
typical act of courage from the Free French. They were determined to free France
from the Nazi thrall, and on their crusade, they fought in Central and North Africa, Italy. and North-West Europe. Thanks to the Free French gladiators, French
representatives proudly took their places at the formal German surrenders at Rheims and Berlin with their American, British, and Soviet allies.

Under kommando av den karismatiska general Charles de Gaulle vagrade de fria
franska styrkorna att erkanna den vapenvila, deras regering hade undertecknat
med Nazityskland. Aven om den officiella franska Vichyregeringen kallade dem
forradare, korsade ungefar tusen man den engelska kanalen for att fortsatta
striden vid britternas sida. I juni 1942 drev Rommel och hans Afrikakar den
brittiska Attonde armen tillbaka genom den libyska oknen med riktning mot
Egypten. Men vid Bir Hacheim motte tyskarna en motstandsficka som vagrade ge
upp. Mindre an 4 000 fransman holl tillbaka tyskarna i flera veckor innan de
brot belagringen och kampade sig tillbaka till de brittiska linjerna. Det var
ett typiskt exempel pa De fria franska styrkornas hjaltemod. Tack vare krigarna
i De fria franska styrkorna kunde franska representanter vara med och uppleva
tyskarnas kapitulation i Reims och Berlin sida vid sida med deras amerikanska,
brittiska och ryska allierade.
