L'Algérie sous Vichy

Also known as Algerien 1943 – Der Betrug an den Juden, Argelia bajo la Francia de Vichy, Algieria pod rządami Vichy, L'Algeria e Vichy: una colonia sotto il regime (1940-43)

World War II, June 1940. France has fallen and suffers the relentless boot of Nazi Germany. But Algeria, the prized French colony in North Africa, remains part of the territory controlled by the Vichy regime of Marshal Pétain. A strict colonial order is maintained: the French of European origin rule, while local Jews are stripped of French citizenship and discrimination against the mainly Muslim population increases.
