This item is a custom printed tile accessory for a toy minifigure, designed to look like a miniature propaganda poster supporting the Free French Forces during World War II.
The poster is rich with powerful historical symbolism intended to inspire patriotism and resistance against the Axis occupation of France.
The key elements on the tile are:
- The main symbol is the Cross of Lorraine, which was adopted by Charles de Gaulle as the official emblem of the Free French Forces to stand in contrast to the Nazi swastika.
- The cross is set against the backdrop of the French Tricolore flag (blue, white, and red).
- Below the cross are broken shackles, representing the breaking of the chains of occupation and the fight for freedom.
The poster also features text in both French and English:
- At the top is the national motto of France: “LIBERTÉ, ÉGALITÉ, FRATERNITÉ,” which translates to “Liberty, Equality, Fraternity.”
- At the bottom is the defiant English slogan, “FRANCE FOREVER,” likely intended to rally support from the Allies.
This accessory is perfect for adding historical detail to a diorama depicting the French Resistance, a Free French army command post, or scenes from the Liberation of France.
