WWII = The French troops and underground Liberation guys are free to go back home after the victory. There is street dancing in every town and village along the way and the soldiers join in and get drunk on their way home. Local girls fall madly in love and the boys are high. Then they depart to rejoin their homes where mothers, sisters, wives and fiancees are eagerly waiting for them and the local girls go home or sit on benches heartbroken and sobbing. Lots of broken hearts there. Many fatherless babies were born 9 months later. Also unspoken and hidden treasons. I remember. I was there. I am 83 now but the song still lies inside my guitar!
