Scope and content

Cartoon showing Charles de Gaulle and Ben Youssef ben Khedda with their fingers in their ears as a two-minute silence is held for the 150,000 and 17,000 French who died. Refers to the fact that, despite the Evian peace agreement between France and Algeria, ex-General Salan ordered his OAS extremists to make all-out war on Gaullist France.
