The Alien Pioneer Corps (an MSS)
Extent and Medium
1 electronic resource (9, 1 pages)
Scope and Content
The file consists of two parts. The first by an unknown author from before 1938 is an outline for propaganda movies for British soldiers, giving them an overview of their "Allies" in countries surrounding Germany to highlight what they are fighting for and who else is fighting against the Nazis. The purpose is to give an overview of the allied country which should be appealing, interesting, and of high quality. It gives an outline of the production (text, photos, music). The second part is an overview of the Pioneer Corps comprising of soldiers who are refugees from Nazi-occupied countries. The ones stationed in France were not armed. The paper is very critical of the lack of supply and support these units received from the British army and from Jewish organizations.
