The Ritchie Boys at the Château de Colombières in 1944

Delve into the heart of the psychological warfare waged in 1944 by the American propaganda services from Colombières Castle.
You will discover the story of the Ritchie Boys, a group of young German refugees – most of them Jewish – who fled Nazi Germany and subsequently joined the American military intelligence services.
Accompanied by an exhibition, these little-known historical facts will be presented to you by the château’s owner, who has assembled a unique collection of documents, newspapers and propaganda leaflets revealing the crucial role played by the Ritchie Boys in the Allies’ strategy.
