I knew the Infanterie-Regiment 638 (IR638) or Französische Legion (Légion des Volontaires Français contre le Bolchévisme - LVF), but not this one ...
I got the inspiration from a deviant art, the unit is fictional as i wanted to add some spice for the new release, I'll probably scrap this unit.... Unless if the people liked it.
It was a simple remark.
No problem with the freedom of the artist or the creator ... It's not necessary to have a strict historical reality. But it's true that the Germans practiced the same thing that they experienced during the occupation of the Rhineland and the Ruhr in the 1920s, where the regionalist or separatist movements were actively helped by the occupying armies, to divide the country and weaken the authority of the government.
In the France of 1940, the irredentist political formations in various regions with a well-marked identity, Brittany by exemple (and on a smaller scale in Occitania), were indeed the object of solicitude on the part of the occupiers.
As for (my beloved) Burgundy (with the recreation of Great Burgundy, that of the States of 1477, regrouping a good part of eastern France, Belgium, the Netherlands...), it was Léon Degrelle who set about this idea ... with the German blessing.
Cheers.
