This book discusses the experience of nearly 100,000 French
colonial prisoners of war captured by Nazi Germany during World War
II. Raffael Scheck shows that the German treatment of French
colonial soldiers improved dramatically after initial abuses,
leading the French authorities in 1945 to believe that there was a
possible German plot to instigate a rebellion in the French empire.
Scheck illustrates that the colonial prisoners' contradictory
experiences with French authorities, French civilians, and German
guards created strong demands for equal rights at the end of the
war, leading to clashes with a colonial administration eager to
reintegrate them into a discriminatory routine.
