This paper shows first how the French State came to Frenchify this Resistance and, decades later, civil society and that culture industry tried to Spanishise the Liberation of Paris through the construction of the legend of la Nueve. With this in mind, the current paper focuses mainly on a historical and memorial analysis of the French infantry company la Nueve, through the recollections and experiences of numerous transnational soldiers, in order to stress the a la carte reconstruction of its history, and highlighting the particular role played by the French-Spanish collective memory over the last twenty years.2022http://zaguan.unizar.es/record/14870610.1177/09683445211066952http://zaguan.unizar.es/record/148706oai:zaguan.unizar.es:148706WAR IN HISTORY 29, 4 (2022), 805-823by-nc-ndhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/es/info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess
