The unit will examine the nature of the co-existence of the people of France with their occupiers during World War II, the way it was justified and the channels through which it operated, at grassroots and government level. The emergence of a resistance to the occupation will be analysed in terms of the actors within and outside France, and as a social as well as a paramilitary force.
