Notice to the Population
Gift of Charles Levin
Id no. 245.94, Poster, French
The text translates in part: Certain elements of the population are still listening to slogans of the enemy. All help or attempt to help the enemy will be rigorously punished. Keeping quiet about enemy soldiers is considered help. Call attention as quickly as possible to parachutists or other suspicious persons. The occupation forces will hold the entire population responsible for omissions. Signed The Field Commandant Stoppel, Nancy.
