This book is available as an open access ebook under a CC-BY-NC-ND
licence. Much of the French department of the Nord was occupied
during the First World War. This book considers the ways in which
occupied locals responded to and understood their situation,
focusing on key behaviours adopted by locals and the beliefs
surrounding such conduct. Key topics examined include forms of
complicity, disunity, criminality, resistance, and the memory of
the occupation. This local case study calls into question
overly-patriotic readings of this experience, and suggests a new
conceptual vocabulary to help understand certain civilian
behaviours under military occupation. Drawing on extensive primary
documentation, this book proposes that a dominant 'occupied
culture' existed among locals: a moral-patriotic framework, born of
both pre-war socio-cultural norms and daily interaction with the
enemy, that guided conduct and was especially concerned with what
was considered acceptable and unacceptable behaviour. -- .
