Legion of French Volunteers – Fight for Europe
A poster promoting the collaborationist Légion des volontaires français (LVF). The LVF was a military unit composed of Frenchmen who fought for the German Wehrmacht during the Second World War, ostensibly to defend Europe against Bolshevism. It was later redesignated the Waffen-SS “Charlemagne” Brigade named after the legendary medieval Frankish King Charlemagne. The LVF originated as an independent initiative by a coalition of far-right factions in Vichy France who were disillusioned with the liberalism of the Third Republic.
The Charlemagne Brigade distinguished itself in the Battle of Berlin in 1945, where it remained as one of the last active defenders in the area of Hitler’s Führerbunker complex in a powerful demonstration of chivalric gallantry befitting of their namesake.

They were the Italian equivalent of the German Schutzstaffel (SS) after which the latter was based upon. Surmounted on the chain is an “M” standing for Mussolini and an eagle clutching the letters “SPQR”, an abbreviation for the Roman Empire which the Italian fascists sought to emulate. The centrality of ancient Rome’s role within the palingenetic mythos of Italian Fascism cannot be understated.
