Interesting fact: In 1943, more books were published in France than in either the United States or Britain. “The German system of control depended heavily on French self-censorship,” Cora Sol Goldstein writes in an essay in the October issue of the Journal of Military History.
Another interesting fact: “There are no records of even a single French policeman refusing to follow the order to round up French Jews.”
