French Soldier WW2

French infantry entered the Second World War with extensive experience of the First World War but faced a very different operational crisis in 1940. Units fought in metropolitan France and overseas, and France’s defeat did not end French participation in the conflict. Vichy, Free French, and later reconstituted liberation forces had different allegiances and equipment. After the armistice, Free French units continued the war while Vichy forces operated under a different political authority; later campaigns brought further reorganizations and the rebuilding of French armies. French troops also fought in NorthAfrica, Italy, and the liberation of France. Different sources of Allied equipment changed the appearance of reconstituted formations as the war progressed.
