The men of the Bizerte community are required to clear the port and arsenal under Allied bombardments, which target precisely the installations where they are employed. Several are killed on the worksites, others wounded without receiving care. Work begins at dawn and continues through air raid alerts; those who fail to report expose their families to reprisals. Bizerte, a military port, was one of the most exposed points in the country during the months of occupation.
