Film notes

French combat action from London and in North Africa. The birth of the Free French Forces (the Dunkirk evacuation, General De Gaulle’s Appeal of 18 June 1940, Koenig at Bir Hakeim, General Leclerc in North Africa against the Italians) followed by a display of its military resources (land, naval and air forces), possible landings of the Freikorps, and France’s presence in Syria, Lebanon andMadagascar… “Invincible, immortal flag of blue-white-red” (the commentary’s final words).
