Soft cover. Condizione: Good. (Collaborators to Fight on Eastern Front) (editor not identified though there are many identified contributors) "Ce que tout Francais doit savoir" (What every French person should know.) 1943. Published by The Légion des Volontaires Français contre le Bolchevisme (LVF), printed by Imp. Mont-Louis, C…lermont-Ferrand. Only TWO copies in WorldCat (University of Texas at Austin and BM Lyon. Condition: GOOD (only, a 4 or 5/10). The paper is browning and becoming brittle, but still a fairly nice copy of a scarce (if lamentable) work with an interesting provenance. This was an appeal to the collaborationist French people by the Nazis to volunteer to fight on the Eastern Front against the USSR "Bolsheviks" after the beginning of Barbarosa. Provenance: there are several processing marks on the front cover that I would say were before this amphlet was sent by the IDF to the Library of Congress (in 1947). There is a typed paper label on the spine bottom that reads: "Ouvrage paru en Zone libre, a ne pas communiquer" ("Published in the Free Zone, Not to be Shared.") This is a little confusing as the Free Zone ceased in 1942 though there may have been some lag tim between that and the actual release date of this pamphlet. Anyway I'm not sure but it does apparently make for an interesting provenance. Note: The Légion des Volontaires Français contre le Bolchevisme (LVF) ("Legion of French Volunteers Against Bolshevism") was a collaborationist military unit formed in July 1941, shortly after Nazi Germany invaded the Soviet Union. The LVF was composed of French volunteers who agreed to fight alongside the German army against the USSR. Although France was occupied and the Vichy government officially maintained a degree of neutrality toward the Eastern Front, the LVF was encouraged by collaborationist politicians and organizations in occupied France.
