France's Elite Units
Description
What turns a unit into an elite?
Is it rigorous selection, a hard-earned reputation, or simply being thrown into the fiercest fighting and surviving?
In today's episode, we search for the answer through the story of the Blue Devils of the Vosges. From the Chasseurs to the Corps Francs, we'll explore what the French considered to be their elite units of the First World War.
