"Nazi Germany invaded France in 1940. In every occupied town, Nazi soldiers put up
posters that demanded that civilians surrender their firearms within twenty-four hours
or else be shot. Despite the consequences, many French citizens refused to comply
with the order. In Gun Control in Nazi-Occupied France: Tyranny and Resistance, Stephen
P. Halbrook tells this story of Nazi repression and the brave French men and women
who refused to surrender to it. Taking advantage of a prewar 1935 French gun registration
law, the Nazis used registration records kept by the French police to easily locate
gun owners to enforce their demand that firearms be surrendered. Countless French
citizens faced firing squads for refusing to comply. But many French citizens had
resisted the 1935 decree, preventing the Nazis from fully enforcing the confiscation
order. Throughout the Nazi occupation, the French Resistance grew, arming itself to
conduct resistance activities and fight back against the occupation. Drawing on records
of the German occupation and testimonies from members of the French resistance, Gun
Control in Nazi-Occupied France is the first book to focus on the Nazis' efforts to
disarm the French"
