The Basque Swastika

Esbastika bat bidasoan

Hendaye, France, 1940. The German armies have just defeated the French and their patrols reach the Bidasoa River, the Spanish frontier and the Basque Country. The entire border region is then subdued and, from then until 1944, it will become a resting place for Hitler’s soldiers. During this period, Germans film several documentaries about the life of the Basque people.
