Rare Report on the Execution of French Communist Patriots (1941)

From the OSS Library

Patriotes Francais, Recit du Martyre de vingt-sept travailleurs francais, fusilles a Chateaubriant, le 22 Octobre 1941, par un Francais Anonyme.

[Paris?] [1941/2/} 8”x6”, 8pp (paginated pp 5-12)

NO copies located in WorldCat.

Good condition, only: printed on an inferior paper, making the pamphlet brittle-ish; boudn with staples. Very compelling narrative. $150

This is a report on the massacre of 48 French communist party members, taken hostage in retaliation for resistance attacks on German soldiers, and then shortly thereafter executed by the occupying Nazis in Chateaubriant.

Provenance: rubber stamped “Library/Office of Strategic Services”, the precursor to the CIA.
