“Hoewel het overgrote deel van de Vrije Fransen in werkelijkheid bestond uit de zwarte Senegalese manschappen – in de zomer van 1944 waren daarvan al 17 000 gesneuveld – mochten ze geen deel uitmaken van de heldenontvangst in Parijs. De eerste grote parade op het Europese continent zou anders één grote zwarte show zijn geworden en dat, zo onthulde de BBC meer dan een halve eeuw later, wilden de Amerikanen tot iedere prijs voorkomen.”

“Little heard of, Dakar with a population of over a million people is the capital and largest city of Senegal. Counting the surrounding area, the population would go well over 2,000,000. This would be our last landing for fuel, before our arrival in Liberia. Our DC-6 took a long turn over the Atlantic and made a slow decent to the runway of the “Aéroport international de Dakar” just north of Dakar. The Portuguese founded Dakar in 1444, as a base for the export of slaves. Dakar came under French rule in 1872 and was the capital of the Mali Federation for a year after 1959. On August 20, 1960, it became the capital of Senegal. It is here that the sand dunes of the North African desert, gives way to the dense tropical rain forests of Equatorial Africa.”
