Des Suisses à l'aventure - Avec De Gaulle

The Swiss who joined De Gaulle Fleeing poverty, hundreds of Swiss citizens enrolled in the French army. They fought in every World War II battle : Narvik, the battle for France, El Alamein, the Italian campaign, the liberation of Paris, and then against Hitler's army in Germany itself. They received medals in France. On their return, the Swiss military courts, unhappy about their having fought against the Nazis, sentenced them to prison. Today, the Swiss government still refuses to rehabilitate these citizens who distinguished themselves in the combat against Hittler.
