These heroes made significant contributions in the war effort, and sometimes gave their lives for freedom and liberty, often without much recognition or fanfare. Some were frontline soldiers who were captured by the enemy and endured horrific conditions as POWs, others were ordinary citizens who fought in the French Resistance and provided vital operations to undermine Nazi occupation, while others were engineers, workers in industry, or war correspondents and photographers. All served with valor and distinction as part of the massive Allied forces who fought to free the world from tyranny and oppression. -- Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a World War, 1939-1945 $x Biography. 650 0 $a Heroes. 650 0 $a Heroes $z France. 941 $a 2 952 $l KHPB566 $d 20230126011504.0 952 $l KSPG296 $d 20190625010113.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=8EF4D318970E11E98A9F505297128E48 994 $a C0 $b BUPInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
