    One day before the dawn - Trailer - Condensed version

    Introduction

    Historical context: During the operation Overlord, the men of the 4th French SAS were
    dropped in Brittany. Their strategic mission was to establish bases (Dingson and
    Samwest) with the help of the local French resistance, and to proceed to operations of
    sabotage and guerrilla warfare, with the aim of fixing the German troops in Brittany
    and preventing them from joining the front of Normandy. Begun the day before the
    landing of Normandy, these operations will take place throughout June 1944. It's the
    story of these men's fights that we want to relate in One day before the dawn. We chose
    as trailer the mission Pierre 407, which was a total success.
