Hi,

very interesting stamp on the back :

1ère Région
__________________________
Bureau régional d'engagement
et de renseignements
__________________________
Diffusion du Journal "Devenir"

12, Rue Auber ??
OPE 15-16 Paris-9e

"Devenir" was the french "SS-Leitheft look alike" newspaper, with articles mainly taken from "germanische" sources (only a few articles done by french collaborators).

The headquarters of "Devenir" was 24, Rue du Recteur Poincaré, the same address as the Ersatzkommando Frankreich der Waffen-SS.

The address listed here is the one of the old headquarters of the LVF. The "friends of the Waffen-SS association" was also located in the same place in 1944, despite the LVF was still fighting in the east and the SS french units were still training.

OPE 15-16 was the phone number : OPE was the local central for "Opéra" (Rue Auber is near the Opéra quarter), and the complete phone number was 073 15 16 (just in case that you want to call the Ersatzkommando this week) !

The stamp is to me a very good proof of authenticity.

Very nice item for sure !

See You

Vince
