However, no one has pride or even a sense of power. We know that our soldiers change their names a hundred times and that they have neither shelter nor a face. They go in secret in shapeless shoes on paths without sunshine and without glory. We know that our army is starving and pure. That she is an army of shadows.
Joseph Kessel
L'Armee Des Ombres (Army of Shadows)
1943
