And shit! Kiss my ass !

Holy rogue!

It's my lucky day.

Bruno!

Stop, we're off.

Come play with us!

I can't help it, I love the sound of the engine purring.

So what?

Like when your sister sleeps on my shoulder.

Bruno and the cars...

Bruno!

Giacomo, come help me!

There are others!

Casablanca becomes the center

of Anglo-American power.

It's at the Anfa Hotel

that MM. Churchill and Roosevelt, with the help of their chiefs of staff,

prepare the next offensive plan.

Here is the General who will lead French Forces in battle.

General Giraud will replace Admiral Darlan at the head of the French.

Are you here for?

Securing the perimeter.

Against French dissidents. Order of General Giraud.

My General...

What, Blaise?

My General,

we are talking about a false General

who calls himself leader of the Free French.

He's not a fake General, it's a real one!

You are the hero of France.

His knight without fear or reproach.

Not anymore, Blaise!

Have you gone crazy? The world admires you.

They're talking about you in the newspapers.

The Americans are even preparing a film about you.

Maybe Chaplin will play your role.

I don't give a damn, Blaise!

Tell him I'm going to Casablanca.

Yes, General.

Let's go!

Quite.

Back off!

Harold, can I help you?

Hello, gentlemen. I'm looking for "Admiral Q".

Churchill?

He is with "Commodore Frankland".

Mr. President...

And there you have it!

General de Gaulle has landed.

The bride is coming!

Congratulations, you have succeeded.

Eisenhower, is the groom ready?

General Giraud is downstairs.

We must celebrate!

The end of the French bazaar.

Tomorrow we will have a single French army.

One leader, one subordinate:

finally some order!

Giraud's African army is numerous,

but De Gaulle's men have the sacred fire, that’s the main thing.

Perfect,

they will transmit this fire to Giraud's men.

It's not that simple.

The groom, as you say,

is surrounded by ex-Vichysts.

For de Gaulle and his men, they are traitors.

Remind me one thing:

Who pays for De Gaulle's army?

I will not finance his war against Vichy.

We'll stifle it in committee.

You become everything when we talk about the French.

You are like Frankenstein, terrorized by his monster.

- Please! - You know what?

I'll see him first.

Treat yourself...

My heaviest cross to bear in this war...

is the cross of Lorraine.

General, the President wanted a tête-à-tête.

Follow me.

General de Gaulle,

finally!

The collapse of your country with the German invasion

was a real shock: six weeks?

We'll get you out of there.

If we see a child attacked by savages,

we intervene, right?

You have chosen our side,

the freedom camp.

But you remain a lonely general,

without support from parties and deputies, and you have never been elected:

a rebel!

My General, Winston and I ask you

to get along with Giraud.

To help you,

we drafted a memorandum

proposing a memorandum of understanding between you two.

Yes...

The conference ends tomorrow,

you will exercise your legendary wisdom.

- What a phenomenon. - A crazy man.

He knows nothing about politics.

I expected it to be more difficult.

Don't leave without his signature.

We are more than ready...

Don't worry, my friend.

Your creature knows that we have other fish to fry,

according to you?

Barely two brigades and he enters like Stalin!

Slept well, General?

Unfortunately we cannot accept the suggested agreement,

but we will see all that with General Giraud...

Calm down.

General, you may be right,

it's a bit premature.

It will suffice, for now, to confirm our commitment

to think about a solution which will suit everyone

and just shake hands.

If you want...

Please.

Let's not waste time.

Come on, gentlemen...

follow me!

The closing press conference will start in 15 minutes.

DE GAULLE ACCEPTS GIRAUD’S TERMS

- He gave up? - No, he abandoned Giraud.

To join our troops in Tripoli.

That's a good thing, right?

Maybe.

The French!

Well done, guys!

A good shower now!

Alright.

To be frank,

when I was told that you were going to cross the Sahara,

I doubted I would see you alive, and here you are!

General Giraud must be proud.

We want to fight.

I understand.

I am grateful to you, but it is a complex operation...

If you insist.

The 1st American Division occupies Gafsa.

She will have Rommel in a vice.

My men will push it from the south

to trap him in Tunis.

If he crosses the Mareth line, he takes you from behind.

No, a battalion will cover my left side.

You will only have two divisions, he has three.

That's correct.

We look like tramps,

but we are fast and we know the desert.

We'll cover your left flank.

- How many are you? - 1000.

We will provide the boots and the guns,

and clean clothes!

No, I'm doing my job and I know the risks.

Leclerc did not retreat.

He only evacuated his wounded.

He is lost, General.

"In a few hours, We will give you victory."

We don't make ones like him anymore.

Our planes have finished their mission in the East?

Not yet, General.

No, General!

Look, he's chasing them!

Let’s give him a helping hand!

General, Leclerc is alive!

THE GAULLIST WARRIOR CHASE THE GERMANS

ROOSEVELT ASSEMBLED AN UNPRECEDENTED MILITARY COALITION

For the BBC.

No pasarán!

No pasarán!

No, that doesn't suit me.

Come in!

Insufficient. Call me back in 20 minutes.

No way my men and I let's parade in Tunis with Giraud.

You helped in this victory, you have to scroll!

So can we march with your men?

Do you hate Giraud that much?

I like him a lot, unfortunately.

It would seem

what to be French today

is a complicated thing.

DE GAULLE SUPPORTED IN AMERICA

GIRAUD MEASUREMENTS: A HARD BLOW FOR THE JEWS

ACTION OF THE DAY We must break with de Gaulle. Churchill.

Gentlemen, de Gaulle

takes us by boat.

He had to go to Algiers to make peace with Giraud.

Instead, he sows discord in London,

refusing any possible agreement.

How long will we tolerate this?

It is written there: let's break with de Gaulle.

Let's vote.

THANKS.

I know it's written,

but we need to think twice.

Have you read Montgomery's report?

Leclerc refused to march with Giraud's troops in Tunis.

Break with de Gaulle, it's losing Leclerc.

That would be absurd!

If we don't break up, let's force him to go to Algiers.

NOW !

But how?

Listen to me.

I have an idea.

He got away with it!

Take my drink.

What a jackal!

Sometimes you need a jackal to lead a country.

President...

This is unacceptable, Ike!

Deal with the De Gaulle problem.

Of course.

Allow me,

with all due respect, Mr. President, we have a war to fight.

This is not a suggestion, General.

I will not accept this putsch.

Fix it for me!

Organize a meeting with Generals Giraud and de Gaulle...

Speak!

Say that again, please.

What does that mean?

Your interpreter.

For him.

My Generals,

as you know,

we prepare a huge military operation.

It will be necessary a strict hierarchical order

and a perfect distribution of tasks.

Of course.

I thought it was clear.

General Giraud is the military leader of the French,

he must lead the army.

A quick question:

as military leader of the Allies,

are you also in charge American politics?

They call me a fascist

because I demand respect republican rules.

I don't work with this crazy person.

I will be very clear, General de Gaulle,

we're not going to change anything to the current organization.

My contact is Giraud,

him alone,

and on all subjects. Period.

Thank you, General.

Like everything...

great warlord,

you follow the instructions of your President.

I understand and respect it.

I wish you victory

in the difficult operations to come.

Perfect !

- Should I get involved? - You need to talk to him.

I'll take care of it.

Do it before noon.

Oh, McSherry!

So come and show us.

Yes, Mr. President.

Delete: “French Republic”. Only the flag.

Let's put: "France", instead.

No.

Not a country,

not anymore.

Only the flag.

Mr. President...

Our men are ready to administer France.

Each of them will take a department.

Perfect.

Eisenhower said to count on the Free French,

from disembarkation and afterwards.

Let him say what he wants,

de Gaulle will be kept aside of the theater of operations.

Next point?

Military Government Trust Territories

“New Wallonia”?

We think we're dreaming.

And yet...

Maybe we should talk to Roosevelt.

No...Anthony.

We must win this war.

We will burst this boil in due time.

Let’s at least inform de Gaulle.

Discreetly, via its secret services.

We repoint the inventory and we load the crates.

I thought the armored divisions forbidden to Negroes.

Do you have a problem?

Let it go.

My General, Mr. Churchill online.

Between you and me, do we need De Gaulle?

How many losses are we ready to accept?

That's the question.

Be specific.

The more the Resistance deploys,

the fewer men we will lose.

Every act of sabotage,

every intervention of the Secret Army

on German logistics will relieve us.

And we really need it.

De Gaulle's men could make all the difference.

And I trust him.

- Did you tell Roosevelt? - More than once.

I don't even have the right to speak to de Gaulle.

How will we tell the English that their children

are dead because we didn't talk to de Gaulle?

I know, Anthony!

Can we avoid to dismantle its armored division?

The Leclerc division is not up to standard,

it is missing 253 vehicles.

Yes, I read the file.

But...

could you intervene?

Is your line secure?

Yes.

Well...

maybe I could find other vehicles.

And tell my men to close your eyes.

- Would that help de Gaulle? - Yes.

Heard.

If we want our children to think

that we acted like adults, the day before this historic moment,

De Gaulle must be brought in urgently.

We cannot disembark in France behind his back!

It's what ?

Eisenhower's message if successful, and that...

it is for the opposite.

Where is Mr. Weather?

Pardon.

Even if it means brushing against hell you might as well be brave and dignified.

This idiot said the storm would stop, I want him to say it again.

De Gaulle!

Alright, guys.

This is Mr. McSherry, our manager.

Go ahead, introduce yourself.

Who starts?

What's your name ?

John Boivin. Lansing, Mich., 39.

Assigned to Limoges.

Bill Abella, of Tucson, Arizona.

Married, three children.

I am a winemaker, I can't wait to be in Bordeaux!

Perfect.

Continue.

Let's start again.

The Vichy government...

This, on future military spending.

Thank you, gentlemen.

Sir,

if you don't publicly support allied soldiers

who come to liberate your country,

we will take this as an insult, me and the whole Labor Party.

No question of him going to France.

Chain it.

A crucial day in world history,

the one that free beings hoped for.

It's the big day.

These images from France

reveal the victory of the Allies.

An assault carried out

by American soldiers of General Eisenhower.

Operations were carefully planned

to repel a determined enemy.

Here, Prime Minister Churchill dismount.

He followed the operations with legitimate pride.

4 years ago, the British, defeated during the Battle of France,

were evacuated.

There they return,

acclaimed as heroes.

Some people wonder:

where is General de Gaulle?

Welcome to Washington, General.

Back off!

Don't stay there!

My country made a mistake,

General.

We thought we could isolate ourselves from the chaos of the world.

It is clear now that we must rule it.

This chaos includes some 150 countries.

Some must take their part: Great Britain, the USSR.

Others will benefit of our protection.

We will establish military bases permanent in the world,

including in France.

In this regard, you probably have requests to make of me.

Not that I know of, Mr. President.

I think we don't have still not recognized your...

Committee.

Is it the CFLN? I have trouble with acronyms.

It is now called "the French government",

which also offers you a little present.

Symbol of French resilience,

it was made in 1942

while we waited for the parts to repair the real submarine.

Gosh!

And...

- Harry? - Here, sir.

We were 3 weeks late.

The President wants us in Germany,

he doubts Paris' strategy.

But actually...

The Germans control all key positions in Paris.

They prepare to hold on.

It would be very long, at the cost of many losses,

to retake the city.

ROOSEVELT RECOGNIZES DE GAULLE

General?

Cherbourg: 6.

Angoulême: 4.

Lisieux: 8.

8000 francs, General.

Here, General Gerow, I'm listening.

Here, General Leclerc.

Let's resume our progress towards Paris. Urgent need for fuel.

Negative, General. The 3rd Army will move north.

You will go to reconnaissance with the 1st

and will be under his orders.

But the plan is to go to Paris!

I repeat:

the plan has changed.

General Leclerc...

Do you receive me?

You are welcome.

General de Gaulle.

General Eisenhower,

an insurrection takes place in Paris right now.

Paris is too dangerous, I'm not risking it.

Let's send the Leclerc division alone then.

More than one division is required to take Paris. Impossible.

If we don't intervene, it will be a bloodbath.

We will never forgive ourselves.

I'm sorry, General.

I have orders.

My General,

Leclerc sent a company to Paris.

He ignored our instructions.

This is unacceptable!

I intend to redeploy his division

and withdraw his command.

He only does his duty towards his country, General.

My General...

This is a direct order to Leclerc.

Give to his entire division

what is necessary to reach Paris.

At your command.

Hey, General!

For you.
