After the Fall of France in 1940, a new puppet state was set up in
the south. Officially known as the French State, it is better known
as Vichy France. This collaborationist Vichy regime's armed forces
were more active and usually more numerous than German troops in
the task of hunting down and crushing the maquis - the French
Resistance guerrilla forces This book will cover the organization
and operations of Vichy French Security Forces, including: the new
Vichy Police Nationale, particularly their Groupes Mobiles de
Reserve, the Service d'Ordre Legionnaire , and the Milice
Francaise, a ruthless anti-Resistance militia armed partly with
British weapons captured from SOE airdrops. Fully illustrated
throughout with contemporary photographs and commissioned artwork,
it tells the story of Occupied France from the perspective of those
who sought to keep it in German hands.
