The Saarland, in Southwest Germany, has been occupied by the French since 1920. This is a 15-year mandate, part of the Treaty of Versailles.
Despite the French Occupation, the area is highly populated by ethnic Germans. In the past two years, the local anti-Nazi political organizations have either fled or dissolved. Many that oppose the Nazis would like to see the Saarland remain under French administration.
But it will be up to the people of the Saarland. They can vote today for their future.
