19 issues of Combats, a french weekly newspaper that was the official organ of the " Milice française". It ran for 66 issues, from May 8, 1943 – August 10, 1944. Tthe editor-in-chief was the Militian Henri Charbonneau, also knew as Porthos. The " Milice française" was a French political and paramilitary organization created on January 30, 1943 by the Vichy regime. As auxiliaries of the Gestapo and other German forces, the Milice took part in the hunt for Jews, "STO refractaires" and resistance fghters. The Milice was thus both a political police force and a force for maintaining order. The official head of the Militia was Pierre Laval, head of government, but the real person responsible for its operations was its secretary general, Joseph Darnand, a Waffen-SS officer who founded the Service d'ordre légionnaire (SOL) in 1941, the precursor of the French Milice. The Milice wanted to be a revolutionary movement, at the same time anti-republican, anti-Semitic, anti-communist, against international capitalism, for corporatism, nationalist and authoritarianism. Combats is one of the rarer and most radicalist newspapers of the collaboration. No US institution holds this.SOLD

WW 729
Fascinating propaganda leaflet dropped over the German 65th Division, fighting in Italy. It is partially burned. The message is: Why did Hitler die? LIVE for Germany's future and reconstruction! The backside reads: The war is coming to an end. The immense Russian superiority is breaking over Germany from the east, and the West Wall is shaking under the blows of the Allies. You fought bravely against an overwhelming enemy force. Further resistance would be madness. Now it is time to think about your personal future and the future of the fatherland. Do not expose yourselves to the dangers of our next offensive! Hold up this piece of paper and come to our lines unarmed, or you will be caught by our reconnaissance and assault troops! One leaflet is enough for several people. You are assured of good treatment and good food. Our outposts are waiting for you!
What is fascinating about this is that it was issued upon Hitlers death. The 65th division officially surrendered late April, but clearly there must have been continued fighting. The 65th division fought in all the major battles in Italy before surrendering on the banks of the Po River.
