The Compañía Histórica 2éme. DB: “La Nueve” is a reenacting group that intends to remember the Spanish Republican soldiers that fought with the 2nd Free French Armoured Division, also known as the “Leclerc Division”. The 9th company (“La Nueve”), which was alsmost exclusively composed of Spaniards, was the first Allied unit to enter Paris on the 24th August, 1944, on vehicles that carried names such as “Teruel”, “Guadalajara”, “Ebro” and “Santander”.

 

The members of the current Compañía Histórica 2éme. DB: “La Nueve” want to present the different aspects of the life of Spanish exiles who fought as members of the Free French forces. In this way, we want to honour the memory of Spanish Republican soldiers who fought during the Second World War.
