These three photos are a very important for understand the human corner of the war. In the small village of Scapoli, the German prisoners of 5 Mountain Division asked the French to celebrate Christmas together ... Germans and French at a time when war seemed far and hearts of men openedLast edited by Marco; 12-05-2008, 03:56 PM.Comment

Yes Marco.Originally posted by Marco View Post"You call me a wedding."
This thread would be nothing without your help and incredible research. We are indeed united within it, and again I say, thank you!
When French troops became part of the Allied forces in Italy, other troops, especially many US troops were very skeptical about the fighting abilities of the FEC. Much of this attitude was because France had been so quickly overrun when WW II began.
General Juin and his French Moroccans would quickly prove all doubters VERY wrong!
The last three photos are very special!Esse Quam VideriComment

Moroccan soldier. The Germans feared these soldiers because they were very good at fighting at night. Often they brought back the ears of enemies killed as a trophy.Comment
