| Gaia: | During the Second World War, the liberation of France did not end with the Normandy landing and the liberation of Paris. Far from the main front, the war continued until May 1945 around German fortresses punctuating the Atlantic coast. Already from 1944, these fronts were designated as forgotten fronts. For the French and allied fighters concerned, it was a time of waiting for long months, during which demoralization was as feared as the Germans. The fact is that they sang to occupy themselves or chase away doubts. What did they sing? This article focuses on their repertoires and their context. It is based on two singular sources: five bulletins published on the Charente fronts and the collection of songs from 1939-1945 collected by the musicologist Paul Arma. Most of these songs are diversions of known tunes with new words added. Considering these songs enlarges the study of the Atlantic fortresses, in a frame of a social history on these areas where the war continued while the surrounding country had already regained freedom. |
