Militärbefehlshaber Frankreich und nachgeordnete Dienststellen, 1940-1944

Description of the stock: The military commander, France, exercised supreme authority in the parts of France occupied since 1940, with the exception of the departments of Alsace and Lorraine, which were placed under the command of the civil administrations, and the departments of Nord and Pas de Calais, for which the military commander was responsible in Belgium and northern France (see also the annexes listed below). The focus of the military commander's tasks was not so much on military matters (e.g. defence against enemy landing attempts, coastal protection) as on administrative and economic matters. After the German occupation of southern France in 1942, the German General was in charge of military affairs for the Commander-in-Chief West in Vichy. Annexes: 1st structure of the military administration in France (as at 29 July 1940) 2nd structure plan of the administrative staff (as at the end of November 1941) 3rd structure plan of the administrative staff (as at 1 November 1942) 4th structure plan of the military administration in France (as at 1 March 1944) 5th structure plan of the military administration in France (as at 1 March 1944) Use of field commandant offices in occupied territory of France (as of 15 March 1941) 6. Use of high field commandant offices, field commandant offices, German main and connecting staffs, branch offices and square commandant offices (as of 1 August 1944) Content characterization: The extent of the documents lost due to the effects of war is not known exactly. More than half of the documents that have been archived in the Federal Archives come from the Military Commander's administrative staff (activity reports, control of French legislation, administration of justice, police matters, management of the French economy, mining, labour operations, recording of documents of German interest in French libraries and archives). From the documents of the command staff the general activity reports deserve special mention. In addition, there are orders, orders and reports from the military administrative districts and a few fragments of documents of the intelligence staff about the intelligence facilities of the Maginot Line.
