Snapshots of History Season 1 Episode 14 Marcel Binet - A Sailor in Indochina

In the 1930s, Nazi Germany and its Japanese ally were threatening global stability. Japan wanted to capture territories in China. France mainly sought to protect its colonies. Several of its ships were in the Far East. Among them was the Lamotte-Picquet. On board was a young mechanic, Marcel Binet. His photos allow us to illustrate his view of the world when Asia was entering a new era.
