Description
This book tells the story of the Vichy French Security Forces, a collaborationist regime's armed forces that played a significant role in hunting down and crushing the French Resistance during World War II. Fully illustrated with contemporary photographs and commissioned artwork, the book explores the organization and operations of the Vichy Police Nationale, the Service d'Ordre Légionnaire, and the Milice Francaise, a ruthless anti-Resistance militia.
From the perspective of those who sought to keep Occupied France in German hands, this book provides a unique insight into the history of Vichy France and its role in the war. With a focus on the Vichy Security Forces, the book sheds light on a lesser-known aspect of World War II history.
With its blend of historical research and visual content, this book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in World War II history, particularly those looking to understand the complexities of the French Resistance and the Vichy regime.
