After D-Day, the second turning
After D-Day, the second turning point leading to the end of the war, is the liberation of France, and the progress towards Germany. People mostly remember the Liberation from scenes of jubilation as the population was welcoming the men and women that were to free them from years of oppression. But behind the idealised images, some dark sides remain. Everywhere, disorganisation of the administration, severe food shortage and high level of insecurity lead to chaos.
But a political struggle between De Gaulle, the resistance from within and the Allied forces is taking place behind the scenes. Americans intend to administer France, once fully freed. But for De Gaulle, the only legitimate government is the one he has led from exile since 1943. The liberation of France should not be left to the Americans alone as its future sovereignty depends on its capacity to “free itself”. Therefore, any acts of bravery of the French Guerrilla, as small as they can be, are crucial into reaching this objective.
Documentary: The Hidden Side of Liberation (2014)
Direction: Caroline Amiard, Quentin Cannette, Juliette Desbois and Julie Pichot
