	légion de volontaires français
		Pendant un certain temps, le gouvernement de Vichy a semblé pour le moins circonspect à l'égard de l'aventureuse "croisade de libération européenne contre le bolchevisme", subordonnant son engagement aux désirs de l'occupant.
		Il s'agit d'engager des volontaires français aux côtés de l'armée allemande contre les Soviétiques dès l'hiver 1942.
		De plus, des incidents des volontaires en vacances avec la police nuisent à l'image de la L.V.F., leur comportement en « milice fasciste » contrôlant des passants et extorquant de l'argent aux commerçants lui font perdre sa crédibilité.

		The Vichy government's claim to be the de jure French government was challenged by the Free French Forces of Charles de Gaulle, based first in London and later in Algiers, and French governments ever since have held that the Vichy regime was an illegal government run by traitors.
		Nevertheless, De Gaulle convinced Churchill to allow his forces to participate, although De Gaulle was forced to agree to a joint British-Free French proclamation promising that Syria and Lebanon would become fully independent at the end of the war.
		Under Darnand and his sub-commanders, such as Paul Touvier and Jacques de Bernonville, the Milice was responsible for helping the German forces and police in the repression of the French Resistance and Maquis.

	33rd Waffen Grenadier Division of the SS Charlemagne (1st French)
		The Charlemagne division was not a single military unit but succession of groups of collaborating French volunteers (though the exact nature of "volunteering" has been disputed).
		The first unit was the Légion des Volontaires Français (Legion of French Volunteers or LVF), mainly composed of right-wing Frenchmen and released French soldiers who preferred fighting to forced labour in Germany.
		It fought near Moscow in November 1941 but its commander, Colonel Roger Balonne, was later relieved of his duties and in 1942 the men were assigned to anti-partisan duties in the Byelorussian SSR (Belarus).

		Despite a romantic interlude he is beginning to feel that the blood and bloodiness of the Legion is debarring him from the sweetness of life.
		The French Foreign Legion is not kind to those who try to leave its ranks but it is while escorting three deserters to punishment in Algiers that Robert Altmann dreams of escaping himself.
		Some are drawn simply by the romantic notion of the Legion, others by sheer renown for its soldiering, and many, of course, through an urgent need to escape anonymously from the pressures of life.

	British Volunteers in the German Wehrmacht in WWII
		Originally, German intention was to use the legion in a propaganda role, but Amery had different ideas, wishing for it to become a comabt brigade of 1,500 ex-British soldiers.
		Reports of mass-desertion by BFC men in comtemporary accounts are unfounded, as unsuitable candidates of this ilk were sent back to their PoW cages long before they were issued SS-soldbuchs and allowed the relative freedom of camp-life in a rear area, or front-line duty.
		In the Summer of 1943, the control of the Legion was under the SS-Hauptamt as a part of amt (or department) D-I which was in control of the Germanischen Leitstelle, or Germanic Central Administration and the Germanic SS within the Waffen-SS.
