We follow their travails through France's first military defeat of Germany, by raw Arab conscripts, through to being the first French troops to fight their way into Alsace.

The battlefield: a stadium in occupied Paris. The armies: German all-stars vs. ragtag Allied POWs. The objective: demonstrate another "proof" of Aryan superiority, but thanks to some fine football, unlikely goalkeeping and acting worthy of a red card the lads do us proud, before attempting to leg it over the fence and back to blighty.
