Lot description
4 vol., 4to (n.c., various conditions).
Red cloth (backs sl. rubbed).
70 issues corresponding to 72 numb. from 1941 to 1943 with 24 numb. for each year (n. 23 & 24 in 1 issue for 1941 and 1942). The French edition is the most widely distributed and has many variations from the German and other foreign language versions with articles promoting French culture and army, the battle against URSS, etc. Articles from the German version have been deleted in the French edition. This variation can be explained by the search to "rally the French by nourishing the illusion of a collaboration".
