Description

The article denounces, in an ironic style, Germany’s invasion of Poland. The Reich justifies its actions by portraying itself as the victim of an aggression at its borders. The journalist reports on the indignation of the Muslim, Christian, and Jewish populations of North Africa in response to these actions. They are determined to join France in the fight against the German threat. The laudatory statement by Dr. Bendjelloul addressed to the people of Algeria is also reproduced. It reports on the massive mobilization of Muslims and pays tribute to this patriotic duty in the name of Democracy.
