This film shows the instruments of the Vichy government's propaganda among young people and, more specifically, the images distributed in the form of ABC books, posters, newsreels or propaganda. It shows the speech of Pétain, Georges Lamirand, general secretary for youth, Marcel Déat, founder of the National Popular Rally and Jacques Doriot, founder of the French Popular Party.

This documentary about WW II, composed of clandestine Allied film takes and German Wochenschaubilder, focuses on the French Resistance, especially the heroic but disastrous battle of the Vercors plateau in July 1944, where German troops mercilessly slaughtered the Maquis and the inhabitants.
