Title
How France's diverse forces were 'whitewashed' during the liberation of Paris
Abstract
As France commemorates the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Paris this weekend – a pivotal victory over Nazi forces – there's a renewed focus on the long-forgotten colonial soldiers who were excluded from much of the liberation, the victory parade and the subsequent battles of 1944.
