Part of our WWII Myths series of short shows

This is a new type of show for the channel. Our guest historian will examine a popular claim made about the Second World War and either confirm or debunk it. There probably won't be time for questions from viewers but we hope the shorter length will be popular.

"Résistancialisme" is a term coined by historian Henry Rousso to describe exaggerated historical memory of the French Resistance. In this show Magali examines where the young men of France were from 1940-45 and why more did not or rather could not take up arms against the German occupation.

Magali Desquesne was born in Saint Lo, Normandy and has been a battlefield tour guide for 8 years. https://www.dday4you.com/
