تجربة الثورة الجزائرية الرائدة في استقطاب المجندين الأوروبيين في الجيش الفرنسي

Abstract EN

This research paper sheds light on the problem of recruiting young foreigners of various nationalities, especially from European countries that supported France in its war against the Algerian revolution, The occupation authorities used the recruitment offices to lure these young men and motivate them financially in order to join the ranks of the French army to eliminate the armed struggle.

This thorny issue was of great importance to the leaders of the revolution, who sought to destabilize the French army, confuse its ranks, and expose its inhuman violations before international public opinion.

They; therefore; sought to attract these foreign soldiers by giving them the choice to either join the ranks of the National Liberation Army or return to their homelands safely despite the serious violations and war crimes they committed against the Algerian revolution, and they succeeded in liberating these young foreigners after getting rid of the complex of fear and hesitation, and they were able to flee individually and collectively with the help of the National Liberation Army, which guaranteed their security, safety and the best treatment until they returned to their countries.
