Morts pour la Liberté - Le tragique destin du vol "C Charlie"

This drama-documentary tells the tragic story of 7 young airmen - one Canadian and 6 British, who died in the Hautes-Pyrenees, in July 1944.  A page of Resistance history was written there... On the night on July 13th, a four-engine Halifax Bomber of the RAF loaded down with weapons, ammunition and money, takes off from Blida in Algeria with its 7-man crew. Its mission: resupply by parachute the Resistance Fighters of Nistos. The aircraft crashes at the foot of Douly's Peak. Was it a navigational error or a coordination problem with the Resistance? Nobody knows. The crash enables the Resistance to gain a decisive upper hand over the German forces. Since then, Douly’s Peak has become a symbolic place in its own right, for an entire generation of pilots, a sacrificed generation, heroes who freely volunteered to fight Nazism and support the French Résistance at any price.
