SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
German policy in occupied France during the Second World War was in many ways a story of bitter internal conflict between the various German agencies in charge of the occupation. After the Fall provides a detailed analysis of the struggle between these different agencies, highlighting the significant differences in ideology, policy, and method between the army, the SS, and the diplomatic service, and the rivalries between them in their struggle for dominance. While the military government tried to exploit French industrial resources, the SS was focused more exclusively upon pursuing Nazi racia.
