Scope and Content Note
This compilation is an inventory of various underground publications produced by the anti-Axis resistance groups in either Germany or in German occupied European countries during the second World War. This collection lay in arrearage in the custody of the Library of Congress Serial Records Division for many years, before it was transferred to the Library’s Rare Book and Special Collections Division. Most of the materials originated from countries within Europe with the exception of a single serial title from the Dutch East Indies, and a handful of titles from North African French administrative areas in Algeria and Morocco and the French territories of St. Pierre and Miquelon and the West Indies.
Each nation has its own particular story to tell: the forced deportation of French workers to Germany, the Italian partisan campaign against Mussolini, the Norwegian government in exile, the Warsaw Uprising, and considerable material about the Greek Civil War that broke out in 1944 between Communist and Papandreou forces after the Germans left Greece.
Although photo-reproduced items are mostly in good shape, any user of this collection should be cautioned in advance of the brittle and precarious condition of many of the original pieces, which due to wartime shortages were printed on cheap paper stock.
