During WWII, North African soldiers
enlist in the French army and battle their way across Europe to liberate the
"fatherland" from Nazi occupation. The year was 1943 and France had been bending
to the will of Nazi Germany for three long years. In order to break Hitler's
powerful grip, the first French Army was recruited in Africa. Comprised of
130,000 North Africans who were willing to put their lives on the line in order
to defeat the Nazi death machine, the fearless fighters were contemptuously
dubbed indigènes (natives) by many French. The selfless efforts of these
remarkable men ultimately transcend their superiors' contemptuous disregard for
their service by providing invaluable aid during one of the world's darkest
hours.
