DESCRIPTION:
Then it was the Liberation of France, the time of the Maquis, white stars and the three letters “FFI” which proliferated all over the bodywork. Built in 1934, André Citroen’s legendary car had a rich and stunning career due to the events which plunged the world into war five years later. By the end of 1942 it was once again serving under French colors, this time engaged successfully in the Tunisian Campaign, appearing there in strange armored versions. Thousands of them joined the French Army during the Phoney War then went through the trials and tribulations of war.Very much in spite of itself, the “Traction” (front wheel drive) changed sides and the Germans, who had a particular taste for it, used them all throughout Europe. THE book
