Les Indigènes
During the WWII liberation of Europe, the Alsace region was essential to the allied victory. This victory was largely due to the accomplishment of recruits from Africa. With a reputation for endurance, sense of orientation and courage, more than 100,000 Africans were sent to the front lines. "Days of Glory" relates the forgotten story of four of these soldiers. While fighting for freedom, these soldiers, known as "Indigènes', faced racism in the military and in society, forcing them to struggle for equality of treatment at every turn. Showing On The Quad
