Good condition. Very rare and important document on the French occupation of Berlin.

"En accord avec les Alliées, je prends à la date du 12 août 1945 le Commandement du Gouvernement Militaire des Districts de Reinickendorf et de Wedding... Je poursuivrai un triple but: maintenir l'ordre, assurer la plus stricte justice, apporter l'aide indispensable à la population. Je suis certain que la population facilera la tâche. Elle sait que la France est généreuse, mais il faut qu'elle se souvienne, aussi, de tout ce que la France a souffert. La France ne peut oublier les 175000 otages fusillés sur son sol par les allemands, ses villages incendiées, ses populations massacrées ou brûlées vives, ses 200 000 Déportés, morts victimes des plus affreuses tortures dans les camps de concentration allemands..."
