In France, German Time (1940 to 1944)

Jun 5, 2024 | The occupation and liberation of France, from 1940 to 1944, seen through the films and amateur photos of French and Germans, witnesses of these years of war. Told at a human level by those who experienced it - going beyond the stereotypical views that each camp has long had on the other - this story will be told through the films and family photos found on both sides of the border and commented on by the protagonists themselves.

How did the French, the French population (and not the French State) behave with the occupier? How did the German soldiers experience these 4 years in contact with the French?

Director: Serge de Sampigny
