Luc Harcourt (c. 1918-1941) was a French soldier during the Second World War. Under the command of Sergeant Aristide Demange, Harcourt and his squad were part of the initial French incursion into Germany in October 1938 while Germany was subduing Czechoslovakia. However, the push was poorly supported by the French government, and the French high command proved incapable of taking advantage of Germany's weakness in the west. Thus, by November 1938, Harcourt and his unit were already retreating back into France, burning everything they could as they moved.
