European settlers actively aided the F.L.N. and died for the Algerian cause

Evidence

I should like simply to emphasize a fact too often overlooked: in the course of the Revolution, Europeans of Algeria have become conscious of belonging to the Algerian nation. While they are not a majority, they are nevertheless more numerous than is generally believed in Algeria or in the world. They cannot express themselves. It is in part in their name that I am speaking here. — Frantz Fanon, A Dying Colonialism, 543 (#complicates, via linked claim)

To meet this shortage of industrial manpower, which way did France turn? She increased the intake of Algerian immigrant workers so that their numbers actually rose by over thirty per cent in the course of the war, bringing a curious paradox in its wake. By 1960 the Algerian workers in France were sending home wages equivalent to about one-third of the earnings of the whole agricultural labour force in Algeria, which thus helped France by helping the Algerian economy. But at the same time those higher earnings also enabled the F.L.N. fund-raisers in France to purchase more weapons with which to shoot at the French conscripts whose places they were filling at home. — Horne, Alistair, A Savage War of Peace- Algeria 1954-1962, 1637 (#expands, via linked claim)
