Tuhia he tomokanga mō tēnei wāhanga - I te tau 1940, i whakawhiwhia ki a ia te mana o te 2nd Armored Cuirassier Regiment. I ngana tana rerenga ki te aukati i te pakanga a te Tiamana i Belgium, engari, pera i etahi atu waahanga French, i akina ki te hoki. I te hinganga o Parani ki nga Nazis, ko Touzet du Vigier, e mahi ana inaianei ki te kawanatanga o Vichy a Marshal Petain, i tohua hei upoko mo te tari hoiho o te tari matua o te ope taua i Versailles. Heoi anō, i mahi puku a Touzet du Vigier ki te whakaeke French. Ko ana rangatira, kaore i aro ki ana mahi huna, i tukuna ia ki Mascara, Tunisia, i reira ia i whakahaere ai i tetahi waahanga. I te wā i whakaekehia ai a Awherika e ngā Rōpū Whakakotahitanga
I huri a Touzet du Vigier ki te taha o De Gaulle's Free French.
