During World War II, the Vichy French government, under pressure from Nazi Germany, implemented the Service du travail obligatoire (STO) which forced French citizens to work in Germany. Approximately 650,000 French workers were sent to Germany between 1942 and 1944. Initially, the Vichy government hoped that this would lead to the release of French prisoners of war, but this policy largely failed. Many Frenchmen resisted the STO, and some joined the French Resistance, while others sought refuge in the countryside. Fair condition, folds, creasing, tears, staining.
