t-vif220VIF 220

One of the last pieces of propaganda issued by the French Secretary General of Information and Propaganda just a few weeks before Paris was liberated. It translates as: they murder! envelopes in the folds of our flag. they commit their crimes wrapped in the folds of our flag. They sabotage but it is French people they kill, because the convoys of the occupying troops are well protected.. they murder and unconscious people pay for them. Women and children suffer more severe restrictions. trains of freed prisoners turn around. they betray. the "Times" of August 1 admits that on board the Potomac, the Anglo-Saxons and the Russians shared the world; Europe was awarded to the Soviets and their agents, the communists. they want to add to the massacres of foreign war the horrors of civil war.

Note from Wikipedia: t-vif207aVIF 207René Bousquet (11 May 1909 – 8 June 1993) was a high-ranking French political appointee who served as secretary general to the Vichy French police from May 1942 to 31 December 1943. For personal heroism, he had become a protégé of prominent officials before the war and had risen rapidly in the government. In 1949, he was automatically convicted as a Vichy official and sentenced to five years of indignité nationale, but his sentence was reduced due to beliefs that he also aided the French Resistance and attempted to preserve some autonomy for French police during the German occupation. Excluded from the government, he went into business. After receiving amnesty in 1959, Bousquet became active again in politics by supporting left-wing politicians through the 1970s and becoming a regular visitor in the 1980s of François Mitterrand after his election as president. In 1989, after years of increasing accusations about his activities during the war, Bousquet was accused by three groups of crimes against humanity. He was ultimately indicted by the French Ministry of Justice in 1991 for his decisions during the Vel' d'Hiv Roundup in 1942, which led to Jewish children being deported and killed in German extermination camps in Eastern Europe. Bousquet was assassinated in 1993 by Christian Didier shortly before his trial was to begin.
