[RESISTANCE]. - Lot 215

[RESISTANCE]. The true role of two traitors. Pétain and Laval unmasked. New declaration by Mr. François Valentin, ex-Director General of the Légion Française des Combattants. Tract 271 x 213, printed recto-verso. Leaflet published in October 1943, in which François Valentin acknowledges his error of judgment and confirms his commitment to the Resistance. It concludes: "To all [...], I wanted to say not to despair of France or of themselves. We may have made mistakes or been deceived, but we have never had any other goal than the salvation of the Fatherland. It is still time to ensure this by serving in the ranks of resistance movements with all the more generosity and ardor that we have in our hearts the legitimate anger born of our disappointed hopes, and the will to make them finally triumph." Perfectly preserved copy.
