Indochine. Des territoires et des hommes, 1856-1956 - Musée de l'ArméeThanks, the exibisition is on the story of France and indochine. Only in French, sorry.
Thanks for posting these items on a very interesting period of history. Incidentally I wrote my undergrad dissertation on the Vietnamese revolution of 1945 and OSS assisstance to the Vietminh that touched off the French Indo- China war. Its a little known fact that in 1945 the 20th (Indian) Division of the British army was sent to Indo- China to assist the French in kicking out the Vietminh.
A friend of mine saw this 4 times, because it's possible to see films made by French soldiers. I must see this.
Another exibition to see : the battle of Corsica.
merci Lebus.
