Durant la Seconde Guerre mondiale, et alors que leurs pays sont occupés, plusieurs milliers de Français mais aussi de Belges s'engagent pour lutter aux côtés des Nazis sur le front de l'Est. Portés par leur fanatisme idéologique, ils deviennent membres de la Légion des Volontaires Français contre le Bolchevisme, de la Sturmbrigade « Frankreich » et de la Division Charlemagne, et combattent en Biélorussie, en Galicie, en Poméranie et même dans Berlin en flammes. Parmi les rescapés de cette sombre aventure, certains vont rédiger et publier après-guerre récits et mémoires. Ils se nomment entre autres Bassompierre, La Mazière, Saint-Loup, Degrelle ... C'est ce corpus de textes qu'a étudié Philippe Carrard afin de comprendre les raisons de cette forme la plus noire de la collaboration. Il nous guide ainsi à travers ces récits tantôt tristement héroïques, tantôt surprenants, parfois véridiques, parfois mensongers, mais toujours révélateurs de haines qui ne veulent pas s'éteindre. Sans éluder les nécessaires interrogations éthiques : comment convient-il de traiter des œuvres qui défendent des positions inacceptables ?.

This is a very good and informative history of a Territorial battalion during the Great War, written by an officer who served in it as Intelligence Officer, Assistant Adjutant and Adjutant and who for more than two years was responsible for keeping the War Diary. He has made good use of this responsibility and in a series of appendices has produced the sort of detail not often seen in a battalion or regimental history. There is the battalion itinerary which charts every movement and loc...
