Summary

Description
Français : Cette illustration est extraite d’un fascicule de 30 pages, mesurant 102×132 mm (en fait, 4 pouces par 5 pouces et 3/16), intitulé « Réarmés ». On peut le dater grâce à une déclaration attribuée au président Roosevelt au dos de la dernière page, datée 2 janvier 1944, qui dit : « J’envisage le jour, par bonheur proche aujourd’hui, où les Français à l’intérieur et à l’extérieur de la France se joindront à leur alliés américains et britanniques pour chasser l’oppresseur du sol français. » Une note précise que ce fascicule fut « Publié par l’office d’information de Guerre des Etats-Unis d’Amérique U S F 91 » (Office of War Information). Il fut probablement jeté sur la France occupée par un avion américain pendant la campagne de bombardement de la première moitié de 1944, sans doute dans la région de Rennes où son propriétaire le ramassa, et dans les archives duquel il fut retrouvé en 2019. Archives Jean Grosdidier de Matons
English: This illustration is taken from a 30-page booklet, measuring 102 × 132 mm (in fact, 4 inches by 5 inches and 3/16 inches), entitled "Rearmed". We can date it thanks to a declaration attributed to President Roosevelt on the back of the last page, dated January 2, 1944, which says: "I envision the day, fortunately near today, where the French inside and outside outside France will join their American and British allies to drive the oppressor from French soil. A note states that this booklet was "Published by the United States War Information Service U S F 91" (Office of War Information). It was probably dropped by an American plane over occupied France during the bombing campaign of the first half of 1944, probably in the region of Rennes where its owner picked it up, and in the archives of which it was found in 2019. Archives Jean Grosons of Matons.
The photograph at the bottom of the page is of the meeting of Henri Giraud, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Charles de Gaulle and Winston Churchill at the Casablance conference, which was held between 14 and 24 January 1943.
