Needless to say, the cover design for Cent Millions de Catholiques Martyrs (published 1943) is very striking, and very unusual. I’ve noticed the swastika/crucifix motif before, but not this bloody. Only six copies are located in WorldCat (and all quite good libraries, too, including the LC, Newberry, NYPL, Harvard, Stanford/Hoover, and WVU), so the pamphlet doesn’t seem to be very common at all.
