VICHY INTRIGUE
EXPOSED BV FIGHTING FRENCH MOVE TO SEND FORCE TO RUSSIA. UNDER GERMAN COMMAND. (By Telegraph—Press Association —Copyright) (Received This Day, 11.5 a.m.) KUIBYSHEV, July .26. A Fighting French military attache, in a broadcast, revealed that General Bridaux, Vichy’s Secretary for War, issued a secret circular early in June in which he said the French Army must not be absent from the region where the fate of Europe was being decided. It was therefore necessary to begin recruiting and organising troops to be sent to the Russian front. These troops, unlike Doriot’s Legion, will not wear the uniform of the German Army, but Regular French Army uniform. The attache declared that French uniforms would soon appear at the front, not under German command, ;but shoulder to shoulder with the Red Army.
