Secret Army

The army had revived an old concept of what they considered to be the real country, the true country, the true France, if you will, representing the real interests of France, that is, the army, and the legal country, which included some of those people who opposed them.

And so, within the army there begin to be not only the but attempts to organize right-wing groups that became known as the OAS, the Secret Army, that eventually tries to kill Charles de Gaulle himself, and launches a campaign of terror in France, and things that you can read about.

They try a putsch in 1961.

Sometimes, I used to show this film in here, but the torture scene is too hard to see, and people used to leave.
