The Gernika Battalion started in France the battle against the Nazis at the Point of Grave

79
years ago

14 April 1945,

The Gernika Battalion started the battle against the Nazis in France at the Point de Grave. Under the leadership of Kepa Ordoki, a member of the ANV, they were people who in the Basque Army faced the Francoists. During the offensive five members died and managed to defeat the Nazis.

The French President, De Gaulle, fired the military at the Ikurrina after the victory and later told Commander Ordoki: “France will never forget the efforts and sacrifices made by the Basques to liberate our country.” But these words were dragged by the wind.
