| Fremeaux release this documentary montage of music and history, focussing on Occupied France during the Second World War - juxtaposing songs of the period with recordings of significant events and social history, in a ‘daily newspaper’ style format. ‘Le rutabaga’ is the French word for ‘swede’ - the root vegetable - which rapidly came to symbolize the misery of wartime rationing & depravation, especially under German Occupation. |
