This book presents the security forces maintained by the Vichy regime and used in the fight against the French Resistance: National Police of the Vichy State, the Mobile Groups of the Police Reserve, the "Service d'Ordre Legionnaire" and the "French Militia" (Milice Francaise). The history, uniforms and equipment of the security organs of the Vichy state are described.
