Josephine Baker's Secret War
The full story of Josephine Baker’s wartime and intelligence work in France and North Africa Before the Second World War, Josephine Baker (1906–1975) was one of the most famous performers in the world. She made her name dancing on the Parisian stage, but when war broke out she decided not to return to America. Instead, Baker turned spy for the French Secret Services. In this engaging, deeply researched study, Hanna Diamond tells the full story of…

Roundtable
Professor Harry Roderick Kedward (1937–2023), universally known as Rod Kedward, is best known for his groundbreaking studies of the French Resistance, discussed in diverse ways by several contributors to this roundtable.1 Yet as Chris Warne emphasizes below, Rod’s interests extended in time and space well beyond the Second World War. Indeed, to fully comprehend Rod, it is important to understand him as a soixante-huitard—close witness to many of …
The Return of the Republic
During the Liberation of Toulouse, crowd photography dominated the local press rather than the scenes of combat and barricades that marked coverage in Paris and elsewhere. This article shows how crowd photography contributed to a common construction of republicanism across the Toulouse press and exhibitions. It argues that the circulation of these images not only communicated the message that the "people" were once again sovereign, but also impli…
Fabien Théofilakis. Les prisonniers de guerre allemands, France, 1944–1949
This important book deals with the experience and management of almost one million German men who were held captive in France in the aftermath of the Second World War. Their plight, overshadowed by the fate of prisoners held in the USSR, stirred little interest at the time and has continued to go largely unnoticed in scholarly literature. While the controversies around the exaggerated claims of ill treatment by the Canadian author and historian J…
Prisoners of the Peace’
Historians have paid little attention to the over half a million German prisoners-of-war who were deployed for the purposes of reconstruction in France between 1944 and 1948. In an effort to contain the rural labour crisis over half were allocated to agriculture. Despite an initially hostile reception by the French, this article argues that moving the prisoners into farms marked the beginning of a strikingly rapid process of acceptance by these l…
Christine Morrow, Une abominable époque. Journal d’une Australienne en France 1940-1941
Ce témoignage qui fut publié en anglais en 1972, a été traduit puis réédité par Rémy Casals pour l’inclure dans sa collection « Témoignages pour l’histoire ». Née et élevée en Australie, l’auteur, Christine Morrow, arrive en Europe en 1935 pour préparer sa thèse de doctorat à Londres et ensuite à Paris. Lorsqu’elle touche au terme de ce travail en mai 1940, elle se trouve en Bretagne quand les Allemands envahissent la France. Sa nationalité brita…
Reframing War
This article examines the photographic narratives of the Second World War produced by Jewish Polish-Belgian e ́migre ́ photographer Julia Pirotte and their post-war trajectory. \nIt begins by proposing a set of critical frames which ground the analysis of Pirotte’s press photographs of the Liberation of Marseille in 1944. It explores the narratives of liberation and resistance transmitted in these photographs and demonstrates how these photograph…
Miners, Masculinity and the ‘Bataille du Charbon’ in France 1944–1948
In 1944, the French provisional government, backed by the Parti communiste français and the Confédération générale du travail, undertook an aggressive propaganda campaign to persuade miners to embark upon a 'battle for coal' which raised their efforts in extracting coal to that of a national endeavour. At the same time, miners had great hopes that nationalisation of the coal industry, under discussion at this time, would bring significant improve…
Behind Enemy Lines. Gender, Passing and the Special Operations Executive in the Second World War
Representing defeat
This exploratory article analyses a number of photographs concerning the events of the first two years of the Second World War in France. It focuses on two key groups of pictures: the first presents the official and strategic narratives that were produced by the military; the second presents those taken by freelance photographers who were less subject to restrictions. Among the images in the latter group, a recurrent visual vocabulary has emerged…
Fleeing Hitler
Wednesday 12th June 1940. The Times reported 'thousands upon thousands of Parisians leaving the capital by every possible means, preferring to abandon home and property rather than risk even temporary Nazi domination'. As Hitler's victorious armies approached Paris, the French government abandoned the city and its people, leaving behind them an atmosphere of panic. Roads heading south filled with ordinary people fleeing for their lives with whate…

Women’s History and Oral History
Women's history and oral history grew up together. Each developed from a commitment to reveal and reverse, to challenge and to contest what were perceived to be dominant discourses framed by gender and class. In this article the relationship between these two endeavours is explored. In reviewing changes over the last four decades the dilemma for women of being both subject and object in research is explored. The tension in this dilemma is discuss…
Les mineurs immigrés du bassin de Fuveau dans la tourmente des grèves des années 1930 et 1940
Los mineros de la cuenca minera de Fuveau frente a las huelgas, de 1930 à 1950. Este artículo demuestra que, a lo largo de los años 30, los sindicatos mineros de Provenza construyeron una identidad colectiva que tomaba en cuenta las preocupaciones de los mineros franceses y extranjeros. Sin embargo dicha identidad colectiva, que podia parecer como muy sólida en los anos 30, se ha ido debilitando a lo largo de los 40. Las tensiones engendradas por…
