Une nouvelle organisation du travail dans les entreprises d’armement sous l’occupation allemande : le cas de la Manufacture d’Armes de Châtellerault

Abstract

By its strategic location in the occupied zone, near the demarcation line and not far from the Atlantic coast, the Châtellerault arms factory is a significant case of the new order that settles after June 22, 1940, in a factory both taken from war and laboratory of state collaboration. If the management of work inherits from previous war times, it testifies to the authoritarian methods of the dual German and French leadership to respond to the commands of the Reich. The constraints imposed on staff encourage a minority to resist. These transformations have left their mark
