Wine & War

This lecture is all about the French, the Nazis & the battle for France’s greatest treasure. In 1940, France fell to the Nazis and almost immediately, the German army began a campaign of pillaging one of the assets the French hold most dear: their wine. What happened in the French wine regions during the Nazi occupation may fascinate you, whether you are a wine lover or not. Because “To be a Frenchman means to fight for your country AND its wine.”
