Dn the framework of our hidden history, it is racist massacres of Senegalese tirailleurs which were wanted by France, during the war of 1939-45. At the northern entrance to Lyon and in the Golden Mountains, on June 19 and 20, 1940, deliberately called where the fight was lost in advance, the Senegalese infantrymen were fiercely killed by the Germans. At the Thiaroye camp, near Dakar, in Senegal, it was the French army that shot them down on the night of December 1 to 2, 1944.
In the history of the Second World War, the history of Senegalese skirmishers does not exist, although their action was decisive. Absent from school books, nothing or almost nothing testifies to the determining presence of Africa in the liberation of France. It was in Africa that de Gaulle organized the resistance and, given the lack of support from his compatriots, it was on African soil that he ended up finding most of the French liberation army. But, as in many fields, France has again made the choice of historical falsification.
