La historia postal de los campos de refugiados españoles en Francia, 1939-1945

Abstract

Los campos de refugiados españoles en Francia tuvieron su propio sistema postal. Los refugiados pudieron utilizar sellos de franquicia emitidos por las autoridades francesas. Los internados en los campos escribieron libremente, pero sus cartas fueron sometidas a una dura censura postal, antes y durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial, con pocas diferencias entre la época democrática de Francia y el régimen de Vichy.

Spanish refugee camps in France had their own postal system. The refugees were able to use franchise stamps issued by the French authorities. The internees in the camps wrote freely, but their letters were subject to strong postal censorship, both before and during World War Two, with few differences between the democratic era of France and the Vichy regime.
