My Name is Legion

In a desert campaign during the Second World War, two units face each other across the sand. Both wear the uniform of the French Foreign Legion, yet one fights for the Allies while the other serves the Germans. Men who had once trained side by side, eaten at the same tables, and bunked in one building now find themselves on opposing sides. This short, fact-based thriller reconstructs one of the strangest engagements of modern warfare, showing how a cruel turn of chance pushes old comrades into deadly rivalry. The story centres on the strain of a battle in which the enemy is someone you once called a brother.
