Organized by the Confluence Association.

At dawn on June 6, 1944, 177 French Marine Commandos from the 1st BFMC (Bataillon de Fusiliers Marins Commandos)—the legendary “Commando Kieffer”—landed on a beach in Normandy. They were the only French troops to take part that day in the land assault of this massive amphibious operation, a prelude to the liberation of France. Among them were four men from the Moselle region.

Philippe Keuer invites you to retrace their extraordinary journeys, following them from their native region to the landing beach codenamed “Sword,” via England, Africa, the Levant, Francoist prisons, and the grueling British commando training centers.
