By Peter Allen in Paris
THOUSANDS of French men and women who collaborated with the Nazis during the Second World War are set to be unmasked as official reports from the era are finally made public.
All of the files, which include information passed on to the Gestapo during the occupation of France between 1940 and 1944, will be published online.
Since the Liberation of Paris all the papers have been kept hidden in cardboard boxes in the basement of the Police Museum in the French capital.
A museum spokesman said: “They include notes from interrogations, as well as information passed on to the authorities willingly. All of it will now be easily available.” As well as shedding new light on the work of the Gestapo in France, the files will illuminate the role of the Brigade Speciale, which hunted down resistance fighters and other “enemies” of the Nazi regime.
