Plot summary
1943. They have never stepped foot on French soil but because France was at war, Said, Abdelkader, Messaoud and Yassir enlist in the French Army, along with 130,000 other “indigenous” soldiers, to liberate the “fatherland” from the Nazi enemy. Heroes that history has forgotten...

Arab volunteers to fight Nazi? This movie is fictional and not based on actual event, am I right?
Thank you.

@asian_lion , Yeah, this indeed happened, Arabians were recruited and part of the French Armee d'Afrique, like the Goumiers and the tirailleurs.
