Description: FOR the complete story, FULL DETAILS and BIG CLEAR PICTURES, Please SEE THE DESCRIPTION 1941 GERMAN Occupied "VICHY" FRANCE Oversize "100 FRANC" Note WORLD WAR II Issue Description This is an "Oversize", light to moderately circulated, World War II veteran, "Cent" or 100 Francs note from "Vichy" France. It is dated February 6, 1941. France had fallen to Germany on June 22, 1940. Following the surrender, the pusillanimous “Vichy” regime was established on July 10, 1940. Germany had only partially occupied France. The remaining un-occupied areas and the colonial empire were ruled by the "Vichy" government, led by the then 84-year-old Marshal Pétain. It was supposedly still free, but was in actuality German dominated. Little remembered today, when the first United States troops to fight in the European theater during World War II hit the North African beaches in 1942 during "Operation Torch", they were fighting "Vichy" Frenchmen, not Germans or Italians. These landings brought on the German "Case Anton", the full occupation of "Vichy France" on November 11, 1942. Size: 178 x 91 Millimeters or 7.01 Inches x 3.58 Inches. “Oversize” holder necessary and INCLUDED. "Standard Catalog of World Paper Money" (General Issues 1368-1960) by Albert Pick. #94.
