1932 Anti Armed Armoured Bandit Campaign Corsica Corsican Country Side Crime Crimes Guards Outlaw Protect Officers
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph from the Mary Evans Picture Library, taken in 1932, we witness the intensity of the Anti-bandit campaign in the beautiful yet lawless countryside of Corsica, France. The image captures a group of French police and army officers, armed and determined, as they scour the rugged terrain around Calcatoggio in search of notorious outlaws. Protected by armored cars and armed guards, the officers move cautiously through the landscape, their faces set with focus and resolve. The armored vehicles, a stark contrast to the natural beauty of the region, underscore the gravity of the situation. The 1930s were a particularly challenging time in Corsica's history, with banditry and crime running rampant in the mountainous areas. The French authorities launched a major crackdown on the criminal elements, deploying significant resources to restore order and bring the lawbreakers to justice. The campaign was a testament to the French government's commitment to maintaining law and order in the region, despite the challenges posed by the rugged terrain and the tenacious nature of the outlaws. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into a pivotal moment in Corsica's history, a time when the French authorities took bold action to protect the people and bring an end to the reign of terror wrought by the bandits. The image is a poignant reminder of the complexities of policing in the 20th century and the lengths to which governments will go to maintain order and uphold the rule of law.
