What happens
Les Honneurs de la guerre est un film français réalisé par Jean Dewever. Tourné en 1960, il est sorti en 1962. Le film a été censuré par le pouvoir gaulliste dès sa sortie car il donnait une vision peu flatteuse de la Résistance et des Français durant l'Occupation. Anticonformiste, il réduisait la dimension épique des combats de la Résistance au rang d’inutiles escarmouches. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
