[[File:Euro workers.png|right|300px|thumb|[[Nazi]] [[propaganda]] meant to contrast the conditions of [[French]] and other "[[Euro]] workers" with the "Semite-led [[Untermensch]]" and "[[Eurasian]] hordes".<ref>[http://www.holocaustresearchproject.org/holoprelude/deruntermensch.html ''Der Untermensch'' "The subhuman".] The Holocaust Education & Archive Research Team has faithfully translated this infamous [[Nazi]] text from the original versions printed in both the [[German]] and [[Russian]] language. The purpose of this translation is for readers to understand the methods in which the [[Nazi]] [[propaganda]] machine would seek to dehumanize the victims of its [[genocidal]] actions. Editor: [[The Reichsführer-SS]], SS Office, Berlin, 1942. DHM, Berlin. Do 56/685. Revised: SS Office - Training Office. SS Hauptsturmführer King, SS-Obersturmführer Ludwig Pröscholdt. </ref><ref>[https://archive.org/details/SSHauptamtDerUntermensch194252S.Scan/mode/2up Original German version, SS Headquarters, The Subhuman (1942)]</ref> ]]
Before, during, and after the [[war]] the [[French]] [[public]] was divided three ways: the French Communist Party, [[antisemitic]] collaborators, and French nationalists. While Gaullists or the "Free French" are celebrated in [[Hollywood]] movies and [[Western alliance|Western]] [[propaganda]], by far few "Free French" portrayed as the "[[French Resistance]]" did not have the [[money]] or resources to flee to [[London]] or [[North Africa]]. The so-called "Free French" was an [[American]] [[proxy force]] supported entirely by [[Lend Lease]] funds outside of [[France]], while the French [[government]], [[taxpayer]], [[industrial]] output, and men of [[draft]] age, albeit not always willingly, supported the [[Nazi]] war effort. The French Communist Party did most of the actual [[sabotage]] and resistance work in [[Western Europe]], a fact denied or suppressed in virtually all Western history texts and contemporaneous [[propaganda]].

In the [[Cold War]] period, [[Operation Gladio]] was a [[US]]/[[UK]] effort to [[demonize]] and sideline these [[Nazi]] Resistors. Even today, it is said people in France do not recognize or can make sense of the [[American]] version of [[France]]'s role in World War II.
