This video explores the life and military career of Émile Driant, a French army officer and politician who became a hero of the Battle of Verdun. It details his pre-war advocacy for French military readiness, his command of Chausseurs at the Bois de Caures, and his valiant defense against the initial German offensive in 1916. Driant's warnings about Verdun's vulnerability were tragically validated, and his leadership in the face of overwhelming odds cemented his status as a martyr and hero.
