LE FRANC - TIREUR, (The Maverick), April 1942 The masthead notes: "Bi-Monthly as far as possible and by the grace of the Pierre Laval Police. Laval was Prime Minster of France during the German occupation, from April 18, 1942 to August 20, 1944. At the end of the war Laval was found guilty of plotting against the security of the state and of collaboration with the enemy. After a thwarted suicide attempt, Laval was executed by firing squad in October 1945.
This would seem to be an underground piece by the French Resistance during the occupation. The first article is headed (translated): Stand Up... France".
