1945 Print V Victory Reformed Church French Troop France Prison Wartime CON1

This is an original 1945 halftone print of crowds waving the "V for Victory" hand sign to French troops. One of the captions writes, "While in other parts of the city incensed groups hiss collaborationists as they are rounded up at the Prefecture for their journey to prison enclosures."

"Conad History" (Continental Advance) was created to preserve the history of the United States Army supply forces, and to provide a basis for future studies by the United States War Department. The book covered the continental advance, communications zones, the European theater of operations, and the United States Army during 1944 and 1945. The Conad staff began in Africa and traveled to central Europe where they finished.
