- "Meet at the beach," announces the BBC. On June 6, 1944, the Allied paratroopers found a region ravaged by the Occupation. All summer, the 150,000 German soldiers present in Brittany are engaged against the armed F.F.I. (French Forces of the Interior). But this guerrilla army could not have lasted long without the arrival of American troops. In mid-August, Allied General Patton, astonished by the efficiency of these mysterious F.F.I., turned his back on the Atlantic and headed for the Seine. With nearly 12,000 killed, the siege of Brest was the most important battle of the Liberation. From November 19, 1944, the F.F.I. fight hard to liberate the last pockets of German resistance - Lorient and Saint-Nazaire - until May 1945.
- The French colonial empire (the French Overseas Territories) seems to have been forgotten at the start of WWII, before playing an important role from June 1940 to the end of 1944: Paris being occupied, the Vichy government being disputed, Brazzaville and Algiers were for a time the capitals of France. General De Gaulle, from London, launched his first broadcast to France on June 18, 1940, decided to set out to reconquer France with the Empire as a base. This film traces the situation between 1940 and 1945 in the Pacific (New Caledonia, Wallis and Futuna, Polynesia) and the Atlantic (West Indies, Guyana, Saint-Pierre-et-Miquelon).
- Joyful parades, spontaneous dancing parties, etc., after four years of fighting, suffering, deprivation, death, and despite its cities and its economy in ruins, France of 1944 is celebrating its rediscovered freedom. But these happy images should not obscure the harsh reality of the retaliation against the collaborators and the reconstruction to come. This film powerfully relates the political and economic history of France from 1940 to 1945. Let us remember: on May 12, 1940, the German air force attacked France via Belgium, from the 13th, the Germans defeated the French defense and enter Paris declared an "open city" on June 14. On June 17, Marshal Pétain asked for an armistice signed on July 22: the Vichy regime and the Occupation began, in other words, the dark years.
