French WWII Soldiers (24 Figures)

French WWII Soldiers – 24 Figure Set

Free French Forces — fighting to liberate their homeland from the shores of Africa to the streets of Paris.

After the devastating fall of France in 1940, General Charles de Gaulle rallied the Free French Forces — soldiers who chose to fight on from exile rather than accept Nazi occupation. Beginning in North Africa and building through campaigns in Italy and the brutal fighting at Monte Cassino, the Free French Army grew from a small exile force into a formidable fighting formation of hundreds of thousands.

The emotional pinnacle of the Free French campaign came in August 1944 when the 2nd French Armored Division — given the honor by General Eisenhower — led the liberation of Paris, with French soldiers entering their capital city to scenes of wild jubilation after four years of occupation. The French then pushed into Germany itself, ending the war having redeemed the nation's honor in the most complete way possible.
